Hi,<\/p>\n

for summer courses….do they only have a final exam? So…no term tests or anything, for S and F courses? and are these courses harder than taken during the school year (ASIDE from the fact that it is crammed into 6 weeks?)<\/p>\n

thanks.<\/p>\n

Yo yo!<\/p>\n

It all really depends on the course. Some have exams, some don’t. Naturally, you can get through this with a touch of logic. For example, if you’re taking an English course, you’ll most likely be attacked with some essays, but if you’re in say Math, yeah, there will probably be an exam.<\/p>\n

You can try emailing the professors set to teach the courses you’re interested in so far if you’re really keen on knowing beforehand. I actually did that one year because I had to go somewhere in the allotted exam period and needed a course that didn’t have an exam. All the profs were really sweet despite my nagging! Just make sure you word things politely. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

And harder? Again, that depends. From my experience, the courses were actually easier but that’s mostly because the profs I had seemed like they wanted to take a trip or drink a beer<\/a> just as badly as I did. Really, I don’t think they’re all that different from the ones taken in the fall or winter. What might make things “easier” is the fact that you’re only dealing with one course.<\/p>\n
