Short Classes YAY Entry #5

Being a hybrid student at my local community college allows a lot of flexibility in my schedule and it saddens me that more courses don't offer it.

The thing is, especially now, [general] classes feel like repeated information that we've had prior experience with (specific degrees are very strict on time as well which can easily conflict with work schedules). We need the classes to pass, but need the money for the classes, but the classes are strung out and can conflict with work schedules. The thing that really sucks about most classes is that they're either going to conflict with your schedule with hours and weeks on end of class time OR you can take online classes which certain degrees require hands on learning activity that isn't able to be represented in a computer screen while you sit in your underwear in your kitchen at 3 in the morning.

Then God said to him, "LET THERE BE HYBRIDS"

Arizona State University is offering more classes that condenses 15 week classes into 7 and 1/2 week classes. AND they are *trying* to make it cheaper.

Who let this progressive, "think-about-the-students-well-being" person take control of our college system?

Students can pay less, learn more; have hands on and personal, self-taught, classes. It is easier to fit into a students work schedule, and can speed up the learning process so students can get certain classes out of the way and move closer and quicker to their degree and most importantly, get closer to working in the work force.

You go ASU, hopefully other colleges will take your lead.
