And I’m fairly sure I would perform much better at university if the courses were exactly the same, just serial. I really like getting to the very depth of an interesting subject, but doing a few hours a week of one will simply kill my brain. As soon as it finds it interesting, it has to context switch to the next one.



Education disruption: Serial University where you can take a course at a time, spending all your available time on that course, completing the work in much less than a quarter or semester if you like. Graduation from SU should result in a degree or it's no better than every other self-study option available at the moment.


I would sign up tomorrow if this existed.


It does exist at Colorado College.

Hmm - this seems to cover the aspect of taking classes serially - but nothing in the website talks about graduating much quicker as a result?
