On the negative side, however, there has been some resistance to and criticism of
intensive programs. Carrington (2010) discusses the issue from psychological dimension. He
mentions that psychological research as well as educational psychology suggests that learning
is enhanced when new subjects are presented in spaced out sessions rather than compressed
into fewer, longer sessions. This would suggest that students learn better when taking courses
that are scheduled over longer time periods. Contrary to the success stories of academic
achievement under block scheduling is Bateson’s study (1990) in which students in traditional
schools scored significantly higher than those attending compressed classes. Hnbery (1997)
also believes that students have to move on to new material without having time to review or
reread old material. Some students have complained that intensive courses are more stressful
(Daniel, 2000) with too much work and material (Scott & Conrad,1991). Faculty views of
intensive courses indicate that they are critical of the fatigue, lack of time for the students to
