I have never been taking classes at my U, but since they sent me an email saying there is a grant for me. Well, I really want to get over these classes that I need to take and they're almost all 400 level. Since summer school seems so short, I'm afraid that I can damage my grade if I take it. But do you think I should? My school has three summer school sessions and I really want to attend because I'm hella late for the major and I need to finish ASAP.

Can you describe how much you have to go through? I mean, I've done this in community college and I know how fast it went by, but this will be my first time doing it at my school and plus they're all senior level. sweatingbullets.gif Hope you can give some ideas of what it'll be like and if it's possible to take 2 sessions with 2 classes.

Thanks.

What is your major? I am a senior majoring in accounting and finance. I'd taken some classes (3000 level and 4000 level) last summer. My school has two summer sessions, each session is about five weeks long. Since the summer sessions are really short, we had quizzes, tests, and assignments due every single day. I did really good for the first summer session. But I had to drop one class (Business Policy 4000 level) duirng the second session, because there were too much work. Too much work in one class define:

1. 13 Practice quizzes
2. 11 Case quizzes
3. 13 Reading quizzes
4. 2 Practice exams
5. 1 mid-term and 1 final exams
6. 11 Discussion board questions (2 pages single space)
7. 25 pages individual company research project (single space, business paper)
8. 2 group research projects (each 45 pages, single space, business paper)

For both summer sessions, I was in the library from 9am to 6pm doing my school works. If you think you can handle it, go for it. But I won't recommend Written Intensive courses for the summer term.

^ basically what he said, but it all comes down to your major, your course, and your professor.

heh.

My school has 3 summer sessions. I don't know how long they'll last for each seession, since I only see the registration...but I think it'll be very fast for one session.

And thank you so much for giving me a view of what's going to happen to me this summer.

btw I'm a liberal studies major....I was thinking of taking English 309, but since the way you said it seems so scary, I wouldn't want to take either English or math during summer. Since for this English class, I have to go and observe a classroom too besides the class.

Thanks for the advice ^^ I'll have to sing the song "I will survive" each day during summer lol..and I'm planning to work too...darn >_<
