There may or may not be some serious changes occurring with the UNECOM curriculum. Some second years have talked about how all of their reproductive block is now mandatory, and they do not know if this will carry forward. That may not sound like a big deal, but it amounts to 16 hours of class a week, which could easily be compressed into 8 hours of at-home double-speed video. Couple that with our relatively short (just over 4 weeks) period of time with which to study for boards, and it seems likely that board performance is going to take a serious hit this year. I'll stop in with updates as things become more clear, but if the lack of mandatory lecture is a big draw to UNECOM for you, be aware that it might be changing soon and that you should strongly consider contacting the school to clarify what attendance policies will be moving forward in both first and second year if this is a concern.
I don't want anyone to feel like they've been given the bait-and-switch, so I feel this is information that should be available to potential matriculants and those considering UNECOM. Updates will be provided as they become available.
