After reading the article about ASU offering a 7 1/2 weeks
So pretty much this article is saying that they would change the traditional 15 week courses to a 7 1/2 week course. ASU believes that students would finish school faster within 3 years, pay tuition, have flexible schedules.
Everyone has their point of view. But how I see this, is jus STRESS. Everything that you would learn is going to be in a fast pace, a lot of homework, a lot of work outside of school. I understand a hybrid class is the same thing, because part time is at school and the other part time is outside of school. People might like to finish school faster, instead of 4 years they would finish school in 3 years but just if your are efficient in doing everything. I'm taking a hybrid class but just ONE and its not easy for me because we need a lot of time outside of school. I am a mother of a 3 year girl and I work full time. I have 2 more classes but I'm glad I did, I challenge myself. So it is possible, just that we need to dedicate more time in our classes.
But in the other hand there is students that can not learn in a fast pace. A traditional student is used to a 15 week course. Its not obligation to take this classes, but it just suck that they are divided in two parts, you would have to wait until middle of the next semester start to continue your other class. For mothers this would be really good because they would have time to do more stuff and take care of their babies. But I think is more stressful for most students.
