AE 3 Shorter turn around times

      

This article was very interesting. I feel that the article was geared towards a wide variety of people such as, students, professors, other colleges, and other states. By releasing this article, they are getting the feedback necessary to make the proper choice for the college. Many classes have already begun the process of being cut short. I see both sides and believe that it really depends on the type of student you, are and what your expectations are for the future. Obviously, if you are a lazy slacker or procrastinator the original class periods are much better suited for you but if you have your head in the game and are set out to get it done this would be best for you.

Now in regards to some of the comments about classes not meeting state licensing board apparently have not thought this through before commenting on the article. Universities are fully aware of the state requirements for many course licenses and or degrees. They are not going to put their money making machine at risk of running dry. The classes would be more of the pre-requisites needed prior to entering into the desired program. This would allow for more students in college, same amount of money and happy, happy, employees and students. This is already taking place all over the world.

I personally have only taken a few classes at regular time and the rest have all been at an accelerated pace. I chose this route to complete my goal and move on to the career field of my choice. The only down fall is you may finish in time to begin the program of your choice but it doesn’t mean you’ll get accepted in. not because you didn’t meet the requirements but the college does not have enough seats available for everyone. Although, this may be a great idea the college needs to rethink how they are going to manage the increased students wanting to attend programs that only offer a designated number every year. My suggestion would be to hire more professors in these fields and open up the class student count. This will benefit everyone and again be a greater profit for the college.   Businesses will benefit as well, they get more trained employees at a quicker turn around time. with so many baby boomers getting ready to retire the need for replacement is in high gear.
