Length of days!
Entering task durations in hours is the ONLY way you will be able to set up your class scheduling. And you will also need to create the custom project calendar I outlined.

Well you can scrub the idea that Project is an "easy to use piece of software". It isn't, and you've found that out.
Project only allows one definition for a "day" so the first thing I suggest is that you use hours instead of days. The next thing you need to do is to create a custom project calendar with Monday and Thursday as full days, Tuesday and Wednesdays as half days. That's easy enough via, Project > Properties group > Change working time. And do not simply edit the Standard calendar but create a separate custom calendar based on the Standard. Setting up the alternate half and quarter Fridays is more challenging. First, set up every Friday as a 4 hour day. Then do a recurring exception for every other Friday as a 2 hour day. This is what the 4 hour Friday's will look like,
And this is what alternate Friday's will look like
Hope this helps.
