What they don’t tell you about Summer classes!

Some things you need to know about summer classes! I don’t love taking summer classes but I do appreciate having them available so that I can get caught up or get ahead on my classes! But they’re not all sunshine (even though they’re in the summer lol). Let me tell you what you need to know about them!

The classes are accelerated so the pacing of them is extremely fast! Usually a normal class is 12 weeks long but summer classes are at most 8 weeks long, but usually they are 6 weeks long so that you can fit 2 sets of classes back to back within the summer semester.

This is exactly what I did when I took Calc 2 and Calc 3 over the summer my sophomore year! Calc 2 was the first 6 weeks of summer and then after finishing that class I only had 3 days off! Then I started Calc 3 right after that and it was super rough honestly. I was 12 weeks straight of 5 days a week 2 hour classes everyday. I worked really hard throughout the entire summer but it was totally worth it and saved me so much time in my degree!

Let me know in the comments if you have questions about summer classes and if you are planning on taking any this summer!
