I was too, though it doesn't really fit with the author's thesis -- it's actually very similar to traditional distance programs. The price and the class sizes are crazy, and the impact on the market is probably going to be huge, but if anything it'll reinforce the stranglehold of traditional institutions providing traditional degrees.
- fnayr 12y agoThe class size for the one course I enrolled in this semester actually wasn't crazy (unless by crazy you meant crazy small). It was ~30 students.
- nkozyra 12y agoI believe they're capped at 200 but I also get the impression they're accepting at a rate that assumes a lot of attrition prior to "full" acceptance (completion of foundational courses with a b or better). For example, this last semester saw a lot of people accepted without compsci or math experience. That would make the prospect pretty daunting.
- jskonhovd 12y agoThat must be CS6505 after the drop date. I joke, I think we had at least 200 people in that class, but there was a good amount who dropped. I am guessing you are in CS6290, or one of the newer courses.
