summer school is a great option! i personally like taking courses in the summer more than during the year because i feel that i have more energy and motivation.<\/p>\n
if you are wanting to make up 1.0 FCE’s during summer 2018, you have four options since there are two summer semesters.<\/p>\n
1) take a Y course (1.0 FCE’s) which will last from may to august<\/p>\n
2) take two\u00a0F courses (0.5 FCE’s each) from may to june<\/p>\n
3) take two S courses (0.5 FCE’s each) from july to august<\/p>\n
4) take one F course (0.5 FCE) from may to june and then take one S course (0.5 FCE) from july to august<\/p>\n
obviously if you want to get your classes over with earlier and enjoy the rest of your summer, option 2 would be ideal (which is what i happen to be doing right now), but be prepared to work hard and manage your time wisely.<\/p>\n
summer school is accelerated, so for an For S course, you’ll have 6 weeks of class as opposed your typical 12 weeks. let me tell you right now, summer school is not easy. you’ll feel like you just started getting into the material and then BAM! you’ll be writing your final. you’ll also have twice the amount of lectures per week which means twice the amount of readings.<\/p>\n
it’s tough, man.<\/p>\n
i actually just answered a question recently about summer school that might answer some of your questions regarding class times, which you can check out here<\/a>!\u00a0in terms of F and S courses, for one class, you can expect an average of about 4 hours of class per week, split between two days. (e.g. tuesdays and thursdays 12-2pm) i feel as though this is a pretty standard representation of what summer courses are like,\u00a0but don’t quote me on that. you can take a look for yourself this summer’s timetable<\/a> to get an idea of what class hours are like.<\/p>\n you would only have class everyday if you decide to take classes that fill up your whole week!<\/p>\n you can definitely still enjoy your summer- you’d only be in class for a couple of hours a day! you can go out and have fun for the rest of the day! (don’t forget to study, of course) relax yo. it’s gon’ be chill.<\/p>\n peace and love,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi I’m a first year student at UTSG and I’m thinking of going to summer school next year cuz I only have 4 credits now.
