Description
Introduction The topic is one that has long been of interest to those involved in summer session because of efforts to ensure the quality of academic programs taught in compressed formats. While the literature on the topic of teaching and learning using compressed formats is not extensive, most of what has been reported supports the notion that the quality of the learning experience is comparable to when the same subject matter is taught in a longer format, particularly when the instructional quality is high. This study attempts to provide more detailed information about how faculty, known for high quality instruction, approach teaching in a compressed or intensive format, identify how these teaching strategies and approaches may differ from those used in full-length sessions, and propose best practices for teaching in summer session. Please note, compressed and intensive are used synonymously in this paper to describe courses taught in a comparatively shorter time period in summer session. This article is an abridged version of the research paper.
