The concern revolves around a prevalent national sentiment that views college as a hurdle to overcome, rather than an opportunity to be embraced. The prevailing focus on acceleration is evident, with Community Colleges implementing 7-week terms, and even shorter 3 and 5-week terms, for the same three credit hours. The shift towards corequisites, as opposed to developmental courses, is part of a strategy to expedite student progress. This acceleration-centric approach raises questions about the quality and depth of the educational experience, as the emphasis on speed may impact students' comprehensive understanding and mastery of course materials.
