Are the number of lecture hours per week for a half course in the summer session the same as those in any other session? Are courses in the summer session easier?
nope. you’ll be doing a 4 month class in 2 months, so look for a double load of reading and lecture (and labs if applicable) in your summer session courses.
summer courses aren’t necessarily easier. i find that i get better marks in them though because you are intensively focused on just one or two courses for a short period of time. if you apply yourself, the simple lack of other classes to divert your attention should act as a means of upping your GPA.
