Short classes give students a jump on spring semester

By Dylan Lysen, Manhattan (KS) Mercury

While many K-State students have gone home for the holidays, some have already gone back to class. The university’s winter intersession classes — shortened courses offered between fall and spring semesters — began on Tuesday, with several more beginning next week. The courses span different topics, including masonry, computer science, dance and even social media. Andrew Smith, an instructor with 25 years of journalism experience, said the social media course provided through K-State’s journalism school is one of the many that are only online. While some intersession courses are traditional lectures, online courses offer recorded lectures and discussion topics on message boards.
