I think that the 7.5 week courses are a good idea, because it gives students more options and with more options come more students. Making the courses shorter will also decrease the expenses required for students and continue to make classes available to more potential students. Students can finish courses faster, graduate faster, and end up paying less tuition in the long run. By providing these options, ASU is enabling themselves to retain students for longer periods of time overall, rather than lose them to non-traditional schools.
The comments left by... commentators... seemed like they didn't actually read the article itself. There was someone worrying about their engineering classes, when the article said that it wouldn't affect all classes. Other people were more concerned about a comment's grammar than the subject matter itself. Most of the comments didn't seem like they had anything to do with the actual article, and those that did, seemed confused as to what they were commenting on.
