I just read this thread today. And this is really bad for new and old students. While some people are able to finish courses in a month it is because they studied with anticipation and where able to learn the material faster, other people like me are not as fast but like the service that straighterline provides (study anytime, not going to a classroom, learning something new). Still I was able to finish many courses in a reasonable period of time (3 weeks or more). Now all the Straighterline courses are not a walk on the park. They have the same level as any live college classroom without the human interaction in the classroom. It is not fair to demand additionals steps from either old or new students. Whether they finish a course fast or they finish the course slower. I am very upset about this change. I am person that took certain courses at the beginning to complete my degree like everybody. But as far as a few months ago I was taking some courses just to have some fun and learn about the topics that I was interested in. But I am lucky enough no to need them to complete my education.
I really hope that they reverse this planned change.
