Calc II in the summer?

<p>I will be entering UF this Summer B as a freshman; I plan to study industrial and systems engineering.</p>

<p>I am researching potential classes to sign up for to take in the Summer B session, and I am considering taking Calculus II over the summer as one of my classes (the other would be something less rigorous - probably a lower level general education requirement). I am in AP Calculus AB right now, and I am doing well. I will most likely score a 4 or 5 on the exam coming up. </p>

<p>I am worried that the fast pace of the summer classes will not work out well with Calculus II, which I am aware is a challenging class. The increased speed of material may prove to be too fast for me to master the concepts. I am not worried about the difficulty as much as the demanding workload of a summer class, especially Calculus II, nor do I want to jeopardize my GPA.</p>

<p>Alternatively I could take two general ed liberal arts classes.</p>

<p>What do you know about taking Calculus II over summer B versus in a regular semester? Do students typically favor one mode over the other? Is the class considered easier, harder, or about the same?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Calc 2 is a Summer C course which is the whole summer, they aren’t offered for summer B.</p>

<p>Call the Indsutrial Engineering Advisor. I talked to her the other day… the only classes we can take are electives.</p>
