According
to this article, it talks about Arizona State University making the shorter
seven week classes more accessible to their students. They give great
opportunities to the students with being able to finish certain classes in
shorter amount of time and for less money. Tuition is getting higher and higher
lately at the college level and this definitely helps relieve that issue in
several ways. With having these shorter classes it put some restrictions on the
students though. There is certain classes at higher difficulty levels that
would be nearly impossible to complete in such a short time as well as the
fourteen week restriction for some classes. Overall, adding these types of
classes to their curriculum is going to be beneficial for the students because
it gives them more options in how to handle their educational futures. 
When it
comes to the rhetoric of these article it is interesting in several ways. It is
short, sweet, and to the point about what the benefits of this program are. The word choice used by the author is easy to
understand for students who would be interested in reading about the future of
this program. A big bonus that this article is that it is placed in the perfect
area for it to have full potential. It is written in the Arizona Republic were
plenty of potential students will read it. It is not written as a typical
newspaper article which will definitely attract some readers to it. Her use of
simple words in the title, and I mean using words that everyone can understand,
is fantastically used and will attract readers to this paper, as well. This
article definitely makes people think about having the option of this program
but it has brought out negative opinions as well.
Some of
the comments on this article state that Arizona State University will lose its
creditability by offering these classes. Since the university is a place where
the teachers not only educate their students but research other experiments as
well. I do not believe that it will make the university lose any of its
creditability but gain some for the classes will draw in more students and make
it more beneficial for them. They also talk about how ASU is a school that is
not a well-known school for its education in the public. This may be true in
some cases but there is plenty of schools across the country that are not
well-known to everyone in the public and ASU is no different.
With
these classes, I believe that they will be extremely beneficial for the
student’s not only educational but financially as well. They do not remove any
creditability from the university and still are a bonus for all. Arizona State
University is a popular college within our community and students will continue
to enroll with or without these classes based on their own educational dreams and
opinions.
