Summer Classes

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I'll be a transient student at UCF in the Summer so I don't know what classes are good to take. I was thinking MAC2313 and THE2000 (is this an easy class?). I also am interested in MAP2302 (Diffy Q) but here at my U, they offer it over summer B which is only 6 weeks compared to 16 weeks for normal terms so I'm not sure if it'll be extremely hard and fast-paced. Any thoughts? Thanks!</p>

<p>THE2000 (Theater Survey) is an absurdly easy class. I haven’t taken it, but I haven’t met one person that said that class was even the list bit difficult.</p>

<p>MAC 2313 + MAP 2302 (Calc III and Diff. Eq.) are both taught as 12 week courses over the summer. To make up for the 3 less weeks, each class is 4 days a week for the same amount of time they would be in the 15 week period (Calc III will be 4 days a week and 80 minutes per class, Diff Eq will be 50 minutes a class, 4 days a week). If your math skills are extremely strong, you should be fine taking Diff. Eq. and Calc III at the same time (use your knowledge of your strengths and weaknesses, I can’t tell you whether or not you SHOULD take both.)</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Well math is my favorite subject and I am an engineer so I’ll have to take these classes regardless. But I guess it can also depend on the teacher whether or not the class can be really difficult. I don’t have a UCF account yet because they have to approve my transient form…but is there a way to check what teachers and at what times these classes are over the summer?</p>

<p>Also, the two math classes will be offered over Summer C then?</p>

<p>Both classes are offered over the Summer. You can’t check the teachers or times without an account on my.ucf. Also, most, if not all, of them are full. I’m not sure how they are going to fix that for transient Summer students. (Generally they save some spots.)</p>

<p>I’ll post the current times/teachers now (Professors are subject to change!)</p>

<p>Diff Eq (All M/T/W/Th) (Each prof teaches for 1/2 the Summer)</p>

<p>10:00-10:50, Junho Lee and Yue Zhao</p>

<p>11:00-11:50, Junho Lee and Yue Zhao</p>

<p>1:00-1:50, Alexander Tovbis and Kuppalapalle Vajravelu</p>

<p>2:00-2:50, Constance Schober and Sudipto Choudary</p>

<p>Calc III (All M/T/W/Th) (Each prof teaches for 1/2 the Summer)</p>

<p>1:30-2:40, Lei Ge and Zixia Song</p>

<p>3:00-4:10, Keri Hagerman and Mathew Baxter</p>

<p>9:30-10:40, Mathew Baxter and Zixia Song</p>

<p>11:00-12:10, Gary Richardson and Kuppalapalle Vajravelu</p>

<p>That’s what I was afraid of…transient students don’t pick classes until May 11th which is the Friday before classes start in the summer. I’m not even sure how people successfully take classes at a different university since by the time they get to pick, I would assume most of the classes are full.</p>

<p>I appreciate you posting the teachers though! How is THE2000 looking? Also, do you think I should call UCF and ask them how probable my chances are for getting the classes I want?</p>

<p>You could ask, but I’m not sure what they can tell you. Right now Diff Eq is completely full and only one Calc III class is still open (6 spots left) and everyone has picked classes at this point. </p>

<p>Theater Survey is online and still has 172 spots open between the two classes of it. One of them is Summer C (1 spot) and one is Summer B (171 spots)</p>

<p>Is there a page on the UCF website that lists all the summer classes offered at UCF?</p>

<p>Not that I know of. You can use the course catalog and it should list if the class is offered in the Summer. Otherwise, you have to search it as my.ucf. Whether the class is offered or not depends on the department.</p>
