The alumni were 121 randomly selected graduates from the same three colleges. Faculty experts assessed the quality of the current students' responses to comprehensive case studies based on the major objectives of the courses. Below is an outline of the major purposes and finding of this study. Major Purposes 1. To assess the academic quality of accelerated courses 2.
All major findings converge and are mutually supportive.
The findings of the evaluation research reflect the evidence of most studies assessing accelerated learning, that students, especially adult learners, appreciate their effectiveness and the strong interest they cultivate. The level of performance for most students in these three courses is evidence of considerable student accomplishment that more than satisfactorily meets the challenge of college course work. Both graduates and current students indicate that conditions of intrinsic motivation and quality instruction permeate these courses.
