I would rewrite the letter first.
Quote:
I want to express my concern about two of my courses taught by the same instructor; specifically APSE504-B and APSE502-B as taught by [NAME]. The schedule states that APSE504 runs from 8am until 11:50pm while APSE502 runs from 1pm until 4:50pm. My concern is that Mr. [NAME] is often late; for example, on January 27, he was almost 20 minutes late. Not only is Mr. [NAME] is late, he has also been running the classes almost 30 minutes past the end time. Several students (including myself) in these classes have other commitments such as another class or work. [I have also noticed that Mr. [NAME] has the tendency to go off topic with discussion that are not related to the topic in question.]<-- you should cut this section.
I understand that this semester has a shorter number of weeks considering reading week and holidays but I was wondering if there was any possibility that this issue could be corrected and the consequences affecting the students in the APSE504 and 502 could be minimalized.

And before you send it, you might try talking to the professor first, as Jazz suggested -- going over someone's head almost always leads to bad blood. When you talk to him, I would just talk about class ending late and your need to get to other commitments, rather than the professor arriving late (and never bring up what the professor chooses to lecture about; that's up the to professor).
