Question for Current Students

<p>Has anyone been to UNC summer school?
Around how many courses do student's take during the summer?</p>

<p>Also are there winter break courses?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>There are no winter break courses. I believe you can take up to 8 hours per summer school semester however if you’re taking a science or math class, I’d recommend taking only one.</p>

<p>8 hours? So 2 classes?</p>

<p>It varies by department, but most courses are 3 hours. Some are 4, others are 1. Usually students take 1 or 2 courses per summer session.</p>

<p>There are two summer sessions. Most courses meet for 90 minutes every day. Going by the rule that it’s 2 hours studying for every hour in class, you’d also be studying for 3 hours a day. So taking 2 courses in a session is a full-time job (45 hours/week).</p>

<p>is there tutoring during summer or the school year for free available 7 days a week? i know there is a learning center but that is only available 2 times a week. is that the only place on campus?</p>

<p>What do you mean by tutoring? Do you mean your classes?</p>

<p>Can incoming freshmen take summer courses?</p>

<p>tutoring as in getting extra outside help for classes you might be struggling in</p>

<p>Isn’t that what office hours are for?</p>

<p>do most professors have many office hours, or is it like 2 hours per week?</p>

<p>They all have at least a couple of hours. But do you really think you’d go more than that anyway?</p>

<p>A lot of times there will be TAs assisting the professor that also have office hours that can assist you.</p>
