Yes. $52,000 a year is kind of insane for a Mr. Goodwrench class.
This is a ONE CREDIT class. The typical Stanford student takes @15 credits per quarter, for 3 quarters a year. My memory is that the flat quarterly tuition allows up to 19 credits per quarter. Given the intensity of most of the classes and brevity of the quarters, that’s plenty. But ONE CREDIT is a blip in the course load:tuition calculation.
