Considerations and ChallengesWhile the integration of interactive review sessions has shown promising results, it is essential toconsider practical considerations and potential challenges. The design and implementation ofthese sessions require careful planning and coordination to ensure that they align with the courseobjectives and complement the overall instructional strategy. Faculty members may need toallocate additional resources and time for the development of interactive materials and training ofteaching assistants. Additionally, logistical challenges, such as managing large class sizes andensuring equitable participation, need to be addressed to maximize the benefits of thesesessions.Limitations of the StudyIt is important to acknowledge the

In some cases, it may be limiting the total hours required for a degree. In othercases, it may be limiting the number of hours allowed per academic term. Regardless, suchactions are becoming commonplace in higher education and may limit a program’s ability toinclude the content the faculty or employers expects or, in the case of accreditation, requires.Adding to potential credit hour constraints such as those imposed by an institution, there isrecognition of the continued increase in what is expected from today’s graduates.

At the undergraduate level, studentsoften view these areas as separate and distinct, failing to grasp how closely related these subjectsare.
