Traditional or Intensive Course Lengths? A Comparison of Outcomes in Economics Learning.
Van Scyoc, Lee J.; Gleason, Joyce
Journal of Economic Education, v24 n1 p15-22 Win 1993
Reports on college-level microeconomic classes to compare learning in short-term intensive course with traditional semester-length course. Found students in three-week courses performed better on achievement tests than those in traditional semester courses but this advantage disappeared when knowledge retention was measured. Raises policy questions regarding course scheduling and types of students who may benefit from one course format or other. (CFR)
