Assigned Entry #3 More Options


    It is good to see that the colleges in Arizona are providing students with more more choices. In my opinion,  this new 7 and 1/2 weeks program is suitable for some students, but I don't think that all subjects can be crammed into 7 and 1/2 weeks. The new semester period has its advantages like: students can finish their bachelors degree in 3 years instead of 4 years and more flexible schedules, but it has its disadvantages also like: having a little time to finish the required material, a little time to do the assignments and projects that is requested by professors.

   I think that this program will not help many students because it is hard to cover 4 classes in a 7 and 1/2 weeks, therefor students will take less classes which means more semesters and that takes us back to the same time as they would have taken if they had chosen the regular 15 weeks semester.

   If I had to choose between the short classes and the normal ones, I would choose the normal ones because I am an old fashioned student who got used to the 15 weeks semester and besides the short semesters would be a stressful semester if some of my subjects were crammed into 7 and 1/2 weeks and would be hard to get a good grade in these subjects.

    I like that they make shorter classes in the semester, but it's really up how you learn and retain things. I took summer classes and its basically the same thing and i like the shorter classes because the faster i get out the better and i still can retain all the subjects they teach.
