EXPERIMENTAL THREE WEEKEND COURSE: EMPIRICAL RESULTS

Abstract

An experimental, highly concentrated three semester hour credit course was completed in three successive weekends. Although the sample size was too small to draw any definitive conclusions relative to the efficacy of this type of offering generally, the results were so dramatic as to warrant specific attention.The reactions of the participant students were most positive.Excerpts from their course evaluations are included herein.This experiment has spawned considerable interest in alternative programming methods. The administration at Keene State College has already set into motion the machinery to implement many more offerings in this format.
