I think it depends on the class. Most of the classes I took I was told to plan for over 20 pages for the PLA. All classes had a shorter Final Assessment than 20+ pages. Not to mention some were exams so they were even faster. One class was a 1500 word essay. Most classes I took were 5-7 pages on average for the Final Assessment. Some projects were longer but I also went above and beyond the requirements since I want to move into project management. Those were the classes I made my projects longer than the requirement. Some classes literally took me 3 days to complete from start to finish including submitting the final version of the Final Assessment. No way would a PLA be faster. 

I also wonder how grading works with a PLA. Is it just pass/fail? I never asked. I also knew I needed a 3.0 or higher GPA because I wanted to move on to grad school when I finished at UMPI. The 3.0 had to be in my last 60 credits. Something to think about and find out about if someone wants to do PLA's and go on to grad school.
