My opinion about this 7 1/2 week semester courses is that yes it does seem to be interesting in the way that it's going to help more students with the tuition rates. It is also going to persuade more students into attending the university because they see that there's a program that goes much faster than having to attend university for 4 years. Also students that want to drop out might even think about it twice before doing so.
My personal opinion though is that I would not like to attend a 7 1/2 week semester course because I like to learn in a more slower pace. I do like the idea of lower tuition but I won't be learning as well as having the 15 weeks. Professor would be seeming to teach much faster and I need my time to process the work. It would seem to me like taking a summer class of 5 weeks where everything is being taught and learned is a super speed.
One of the comment that I was reading and got my attention was "Sounds more like a crammed summer course to me where you just get the hours in in order to get the grade and get out as fast as you can." I agree because like I said everything is in a faster speed and students have to process everything right there. Another comment that I looked at was this one "Call it the new Wal-Mart degree.. We sell for less. I'm from the old school. College degrees should not be earned on line." Yes I agree as well, I believe students should take the time that is necessary to earn the degree and not just be shorten so that they graduate faster. They need the time to get everything in place.
