<p>For those of you who have taken a summer term class, what was your experience like? Was there just as much work in the short 4 or 8 week summer term as the equivalent class during the semester term? How difficult was the class, and would you advise taking any more than one class per summer session, so long as the courses were subjects in which you were already quite proficient in? </p>
<p>Since I have to take a great deal of math, I have to take summer classes and/or jumpstart classes in order to transfer within 2 years.</p>
<p>the glory of lower level math classes is they are really easy, at least in my experience, even if you aren't already proficient in it. I've taken 2 4 week courses at the same time during summer and got a B and an A in them. I was interested in the A class and didn't like the B class at all. It's winter session now and I'm also taking 2 4 week courses again. It's quite a work load, but if you are interested in the classes it should be alright. I think I'll get two A's just because one class is easy and the other one, while hard, is quite interesting. </p>
<p>Also, at least at my CC, we have different sessions in summer. Because of this you could take one class in session A and one class in session B, one class at a time or maybe just having one week overlap. If you don't want to have fun over summer, then by all means take more than one class [;</p>
<p>for the next four weeks I have class from 7:50a to 2:40p (no breaks) followed by study study study!</p>
<p>I'm really enjoying the accelerated class I'm taking right now. It's 3 hours of lecture a day, mon-thur. It goes so fast that it's really easy to stay on top of the material, in my opinion. </p>
<p>Just for the love of god don't miss a day. If you miss a day, you miss alot.</p>
<p>I truly would prefer if all classes were as intense as summer classes, just because you get done with them that much faster. But you have to get into a really competitive mindset, always knowing there's something to do (write essay, study for midterm, etc) every hour of the day.
Like Barto said, don't miss a single day. In the quarter system, missing a day was like missing a week's worth of regular instruction.</p>
<p>it totally depends on your professor, depends on the rigor, your experience with the subject. if you can master material quickly and it comes easy to you then just take it.</p>
