Show moreThe advent of the global knowledge economy and changing demographics have pressured the American postsecondary system to develop flexible alternative educational opportunities for adult learners. One of the most widespread institutional responses has been the development of accelerated courses and degree programs. Accelerated degree programs offer educational opportunities in time frames of less duration than the traditional semester or quarter formats. Concerns for maintaining educational quality make it imperative to develop best practices for the effective design of time-intensive curricula. The study found a strong correlation between student experiences rated in terms of Donaldson's and Graham's principles and perceptions of the relevance and applicability of their learning in their "lifeworlds." No significant correlation was found with GP A. Additionally, no significant correlation was found between perceived success in learning and final GP A. The graduates of associate degree programs at a regionally accredited multicampus proprietary institution in Florida comprised the study sample.

Despite disparities of strategy and style, the fundamental concerns of Emerson's Representative Men and Novalis's Die Lehrlinge zu Sais (The Apprentices at Sais) are almost identical. Both works describe and promote ideals of personal development that are essentially the same, and can be understood in terms of C. G. Jung's concept of individuation. The model of expansion which is celebrated in these two works goes beyond what is usually meant by "self-culture" or "Bildung," in that its...
Show moreDespite disparities of strategy and style, the fundamental concerns of Emerson's Representative Men and Novalis's Die Lehrlinge zu Sais (The Apprentices at Sais) are almost identical. Both works describe and promote ideals of personal development that are essentially the same, and can be understood in terms of C. G. Jung's concept of individuation. The model of expansion which is celebrated in these two works goes beyond what is usually meant by "self-culture" or "Bildung," in that its principle is a dialectic of the conscious and the unconscious psyche, the aim of which is the restoration of equilibrium and a widened sense of personality. A comparison of the programs of Emerson and Novalis underscores the compatibility of their thinking, and enables us to appreciate German and American Romanticism in the context of the evolution of the concept of the unconscious.
