加速课程
At 威尼斯人博彩, students aren’t limited strictly to traditional, 16-week courses. With Blinn’s accelerated classes, students have the opportunity to take 4-, 8-, or 12-week courses during the fall and spring semesters that allow them to complete the same course they would take during a 16-week term on an accelerated schedule. 另外, Blinn offers three-week courses during the May and winter minimesters and 5-week courses during the summer I and summer II terms.
Here is how Blinn’s accelerated courses work:
- Students who complete an accelerated course receive the same credit that they would for taking the course in a 16-week format. All accelerated courses are fully accredited and have the same transferability as the 16-week version of the course.
- Accelerated courses cover the same amount of material, so if you take an 8-week course, it will cover the same content as the 16-week version, but will cover that material in half the time.
- 因为更快的节奏, Blinn recommends that students enrolled in accelerated courses take fewer classes at one time. 例如, instead of taking four 16-week classes, students might consider taking two classes during the first 8-week session and two classes during the second 8-week session.
- To accommodate the faster pace of the course, Blinn encourages students to have strong organizational and time management skills and to be prepared in advance of the first day of class.
- During the fall and spring 16-week semesters, Blinn offers one 12-week session, 两个为期8周的课程, 四个为期4周的疗程. The table below shows how this schedule works:
