University shouldn't be time capped or subject load restricted - people should be allowed to do as many as they wish
I'm particularly happy that Math and CS department in my university (University of Warsaw) was precisely like this. It let me take 2-3 times the usual course load, which kept me motivated, prevented from getting bored, and let me learn a lot more things than I would have learned if I followed the standard path. Sadly, it seems like this will soon end, as a side effect of new changes introduced by the government to alleviate a separate problem.
- Evbn 14y agoWhy not just skip some lower level courses, and catch up using your free time?
- xyzzyz 14y agoWhat do you mean by skip? You cannot test out of the lower level courses here, though you can just skip lectures and classes, do the required projects/homeworks and show up only on exam, which is what I usually did with easy courses or the ones I didn't care about. Frequently I couldn't even attend these, because other more advanced/difficult courses I took were at the same time.
- Evbn 14y agoOh that is unfortunate. At my school you could take a test and start at whatever course level matched your knowledge. And there were often accelerated versions of courses, where B1 covered the same material as A1 and A2
