<p>Does anyone know the level of difficulty of some of the classes at UT for the summer session? I heard that they are easier b/c of the shorter semester time. I'm thinking of taking gov 312 and US history and possibly Stats 309. Do you think gov and US history at UT summer session would be easier than Community college or do you think community college is easier for these subjects? I'd like to hear some first hand experience.</p>
<p>Also, does it look bad if I were to take Stats 309 in the summer rather than during the normal Fall or spring semester?</p>
<p>most of UT’s classes will be difficult no matter the semester. I would recommend taking your classes at CC (check to make sure you can transfer the credit first, though) because that will be a LOT cheaper)</p>
<p>I took a bio class (for non science majors), a government 312 and a european studies class all in one session and they were not difficult at all. The biology and european studies classes were mind numbingly easy. My teachers had to cut out stuff because we had less time so we ended up working faster than the normal semesters but had less work overall. The same summer (the first session) I went home and took some online CC classes and one class actually at CC. </p>
<p>My advice is take the easy classes like history, government, etc at UT (IF the prof is good) to help boost your GPA and then the harder classes (as long as that is the only one you need to take and there isn’t a sequence or anything) like cal, econ and stats at a CC. So if you get a C it wont kill your UT GPA and they tend to be easier at CC (in my experience). If you want to apply to grad school, you’ll have to send in your CC transcripts but honestly I’d rather have high grades at my university and average grades at CC if I had a choice. </p>
<p>This summer I’m going to be taking stats and econ at CC (online or at the school) back at home the first session and then two classes in the second session.</p>
<p>The only big issue I had with summer are the limited choices. Since I was taking 9 credits in one session I ended up going to class from 10 am - 3:30 pm with no breaks because classes are longer.</p>
<p>When you took your online class at CC did you have to attend any classes at the CC. My D would like to take a class at ACC online. The problem is she is not planning on being in Austin this summer. Can she do a ACC online class from California? Do you or anyone else know how it works?</p>
<p>You can do an online class from anywhere. My son took one for A&M from our local CC in Houston while he was working for Disney in Florida. The funny thing was it was a speech class!</p>
<p>You can do some of the classes entirely online. Some online classes required to visit the campus for certain things. For example, I took an economics course which was entirely online except for the final, which had to be taken on campus at the testing center. Other classes, such as GEOG 1301 (I needed an easy credit ), were completely online. You will need to verify each course individually.</p>
<p>You can take online classes wherever your computer happens to be. That’s the whole point behind the program. She needs to ask the school where she can take her finals as most will have to be taken under supervision which stops others from logging in and taking it for her. There should be several locations and in various cities or campuses for testing.</p>
<p>I’m a government major at UT and i have Texas tomorrow so I’d actually pay more to take BIO301M at ACC- but I’m not not really science-minded, I’m a liberal arts guy. Just wondering if I should take this BIO course through UEX? Anybody know how difficult this is? HELP!</p>
<p>if you’re already at UT…taking your science and math courses at a cc are a waste because they wont transfer correctly</p>
<p>for example</p>
<p>cal1 and cal 2 at ut are actually cal 1,2, and 3 at most community colleges</p>
<p>chem1 and chem 2 at community colleges finish with different material than chem at UT</p>
<p>you’ll need to finish out the whole sequence of classes at the community college or repeat certain classes at UT</p>
<p>now…history and government and english are direct transfers</p>
<p>-history 1 and 2
-US government, texas government
-english comp 1 and 2
-any literature class</p>
<p>you can replace all 7 of those classes with community college classes easily and save yourself money and stress…i’d imagine that those classes at UT are harder than at a CC.</p>
Calculus 1 and 2, as you refer to them, comes in two forms at UT: 408K/408L or M408C/408D. For many majors, including business majors, the 408K/L sequence satisfies the Calculus requirement. So, taking M2413/M2414 (the equivalent of M408K/L) at a CC is not a bad idea for those majors that need Calculus to graduate, but is not a math discipline that is built upon in their major.</p>
<p>UT has a course equivalency page on its website. Most CC classes do transfer as equivalent to the UT classes. Calc, bio, physics, chem, etc. will transfer. You just have to make sure you are taking the correct class at the CC.</p>
