Athabasca courses? please help
I only have one course left to finish my degree (an Econ elective), but nothing is offered this summer. The adviser approved me to take any 3-level Econ course in Athabasca University online as equivalent for my last course.

I just want to ask is it possible to finish one course in 1 month in Athabasca University in summer time? i have really tight schedule to finish my degree so i really want finish the last course as soon as possible; but i have totally no idea of this online teaching Athabasca University.

Thanks for any information and help !

I took a course last year through athabasca. they give you 6 months to do it so of course i did nothing for 5 months. I finished it in a month and got a pretty decent grade. horrible course though. I don't think i really learned anything at all.

On my first essay I got 84% and on the second I got 80% but I felt like I had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. It felt like blind luck that I did well.

thanksforhelp says thanks to barclayyy for this post.

Thanks for the tips!
My main concern is time:( i will put all my energy into this last course.
Will they allow u to finish a 3-credit course in 1 or 2 month like our normal summer course on campus?(they say normally 6 months for one 3-credit which is way too long for me..)
i really want to finish it asap.
