Going to College in the Summer

<p>Hello everyone! I am new here, been lurking for a while. I just had a question. I go to a local community college and I have never been to either summer session I or II. This year I want to take at least one class each session. Which classes do you recommend to take in the summer? I want something I can handle and that will be easy because I have a 4.0 at the moment and would hate to ruin it. Also, I work FULL TIME from 9-5:30 Monday thru Friday, what do you all think? Thanks in Advance.</p>

<p>I don't work but I do plan on going to school during the summer. I plan on taking Espanol I and II, and then maybe art as the last elective I will need. Take some electives.</p>

<p>O.k. here is a dumb question that I have been meaning to ask, I know I should just go talk to a counselor but I don't have alot of time to actually go to the school right now. I just wanted to know what exactly are electives or what would qualify as an elective if I most probably will be majoring in pyschology? Are electives just like kinesiology and arts classes?</p>

<p>Think about taking a class online if it is kosher. You have to be super organised to take a class online and do a little work every day. </p>

<p>^ Or so I have been told</p>

<p>Or, think about taking the old standbys of Freshman History _______ Part One and Part Two. Those are not super hard at all, you basically outline the chapters and take notes, eh? </p>

<p>There are lot of those old standby classes one can take. I personally would not do the maths or foreign language unless you just have a burning desire to learn either subject on the quick. That is just my opinion.</p>

<p>Now what is an elective to you? That is something which would be in your CC catalogue or something you could e mail your academic advisor about.</p>

<p>I plan on taking my remaining gen eds in the summer. I know Geography is one of them, and I have to take whatever equivalent of Ethics I would have because I dropped that class. We also have something called integrative classes at our school and I have yet to take any of them, so I will probably take the 100 level integrative this summer as well.</p>

<p>Next summer I have one psych class I know I will be taking, possibly also one of the remaining integratives. I also know that I have the option of a night class running alongside student teaching, and I'm not afraid to take 18 credits if I know one class will be really easy.</p>

<p>Online classes can be very easy depending on the class. Right now I am taking intro to internet. Simple class do all the work on the day its due submit it and get an A. But if you take something like Physics 2 online you will probably be very screwed.</p>

<p>Electives are classes that have nothing to do with the gen ed requirement or your degree just classes you find interesting. </p>

<p>As far as a language course during the summer I wouldn't if you have no experience with the language. A language class goes at a much faster pace then during the regular term so it may be hard to keep up.</p>
