Fast Track Classes

 

So I read an article from the Arizona Republic: 

The article talks about how ASU is
offering more short classes for their students.

Short classes meaning 7.5 week courses,
as opposed to the traditional 15 week courses.

What does that mean for me as a student?
I think it's great. If people want to take those types of courses, then kudos to them.
It's not as if all the traditional 15 week courses are being made into 7.5
It's an option really.
It's a crash course.
It's nice to have that kind of flexibility.

What would it mean for me as a person who could be affected, not as a student?
It'd probably affect me most by seeing an increase into the society's work force.
If students could finish their education faster, then that means more people could get pumped into the work force. 
Which would increase the U.S. GDP, picking up the economy.
Then in turn, promoting job growth and opportunities.
Therefore, affecting taxes and social security.
Yeah.

Anyways, like I said before: it's an option.
Whether people want to take that course or not - is up to them.
There are some pros and cons to it.
It all boils down to if that individual can handle the content within that given time span.
