I used to work at a university whose education department sank hundreds of thousands of dollars into a study to find ideal lecture length to maximize retention.

Memory's a little fuzzy... it was short. Like a half hour?

Anyway the punchline I definitely do remember is that they got the results of the study then changed absolutely nothing
