The problem is though, that most teachers are booked up and so if they go over, it eats into the next lesson. If there's a no show for the next slot, my teacher has no problems going over, but if the next student is waiting at the door, I try to wrap things up at the right time.
But to the original question, I guess it's a personal thing and depends on the types of things you're learning. After half an hour, I usually have lots of stuff written down to work on. And i'm the kind of guy who prefers to spend time alone going over something new rather than trying it in front of the teacher.
But the guy before me (I arrive early to listen in to his lesson) is learning jazz improvisation over chord changes and he just increased his lesson to an hour slot.
