Tusculum College in Tennessee also uses the block system. It appears to be a much different school from Cornell and Colorado (religious, lower SAT scores, etc.)

The website for one of these schools, I can't remember which, has an article written by one of the school's science teachers discussing how he teaches organic chemistry under the block system.

This is my first time dealing with this system so I don't know how it is going to work. But I'm feeling very optimistic. His teachers have all told me how excited he is about the academics, courses, that he is going to get. He is right at the top in terms of enthusiasm about this whereas though most kids are looking forward to college, many are not that enthused about starting up school again. Many weary kids, I've been told. And anxiety as well. However, in his case, this is all very new and he feels is an opportunity to enjoy the subjects and learn them well. He just got a huge loose leaf notebook chock full of info from the college, and he is just so psyched!! And this is a kid who was dragging his feet regarding school. I think it is the boost in his arm that he needs. I will let everyone know how it actually goes, but his outlook is certainly one that gives me a lot of hope.
