As the article mentions, The CORE Project seems to cover a lot of material. I wonder if this means it won't fit well into a traditional college semester, and thus it not being used in college classes too frequently.
The main website of The CORE Project does mention a bunch of colleges using it. This points to the fact that colleges are willing to adopt it, but not necessarily to the fact that many colleges will be willing to adopt it.
When colleges do choose to adopt it, I wonder if they'll just pick and choose material that covers more traditional curriculums as opposed to the more modern topics this book covers. If so, the mission of the project will really take a punch.
- chrismealy 9y agoI'm pretty sure it's meant to be used over two semesters.
- adamzerner 9y agoDo you think it'd fit will into two semesters? Currently, you usually take one semester of microeconomics, and another of macroeconomics. This book seems like it covers both micro and macro. But this book also seems to introduce new material on top of the things typically taught in micro and macro classes today. So then it seems like full coverage of the book wouldn't fit into two semesters. (I intended to make this point in the original post but completely failed to, sorry.)
