I've been thinking about this for a while, like about 3 weeks or so!  Concerning classes at HFU - I really like the schedule that has been posted - alternating 2 courses at once now, then another 2 courses next semester, followed by 1 course in the semester after that.  I can live with that, since it allows us to finish the course in a shorter time.  Yeah!  But what I've been mulling over is this - EDOL 620 has been a very intense course - manageable but rigorous.  The proof of this has been the number of casualties!  So I'm thinking that this particular course should have been a stand-alone course - offered by itself.  I think this would have been easier for all of us.  As it is, combined with another course where the course deadlines do not coincide, it feels like we are going full tilt all the time with no possible way to catch our breaths.

Note:  This is not a suggestion for HFU to timetable their courses as single offerings.  This would not suit me.  That would take too long to finish!  But a heavyweight course like this one, should be one that is offered by itself.  I really can't visualize any of the other single course offerings being weightier than this one!  But who knows, I just might be in for a rude awakening!
