Degree Completion Speed and Information Retention

[Devanna]

I think also it depends on the person. I learn best by completing a lot of material in a short amount of time (which is why I prefer 8 week college classes). I know other people who can't learn like that, they need a lot more time. How fast you go and how much you retain will probably depend on the person, how they learn best, how much they already know of the topic, etc. In the end all that matters is that you complete your goal, even if it takes you longer than the speed learners.
