Only If You Want Them to Be"},"content":{"rendered":"

Are summer classes harder or easier than regular school year classes? It’s an age-old question that many panicky, pent-up students start asking themselves when they realize that their next few months aren’t going to be solely spent reading trashy romance novels by the pool.<\/p>\n

But who says you can’t mix school with pleasure?<\/p>\n

I’m going to lay out how you can plan your summer schedule to be as hard or as easy as you want it to be. It\u2019s up to you to knock out a harder course during summer school or simply punch the clock to get course credit for an easier class.<\/p>\n

Summer School Is Definitely Harder<\/h2>\n

The first camp claims that summer school classes are harder<\/i><\/b> than regular school classes. Maybe it\u2019s just because anything<\/i> is harder than taking three months off and working on a suntan. But believe it or not, there are other factors that can potentially make summer school courses more difficult than your regular college classes. Here are a few:<\/p>\n

#1 No Time for Procrastination<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Let’s face it, you’re human… right? I figured as much! Well, chances are you’re slightly (a’hem) prone to procrastination<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the bad news: that simply won’t fly in summer school. Just the tiniest bit of procrastination, or a single missed class, can lead to a potential domino effect of failure since you won\u2019t have much time to catch up on missed work during the short semester. In an environment when tests can come once a week, there’s really no room for error or playing hooky when you should be studying.<\/p>\n

So if you tend to put things off and take your time, chances are you’ll find summer school a bit more challenging than normal school classes.<\/p>\n

#2 Lots of Material<\/strong><\/h3>\n

So you thought your spring Anthropology 1140 class covered a ton of material, did you? Well if you take the next Anthropology unit over the summer, you\u2019re going to be digging into your course material even faster!<\/p>\n

Professors need to cover a whole lot of material in a short amount of time, which means that you\u2019ll need to absorb a lot of information really quickly<\/p>\n

What\u2019s this all boil down to? You may find yourself in a situation where you have a quiz, a lab, and a midterm all in the same week! But don\u2019t worry, the summer session is short<\/b> and the pain will be over quickly.<\/p>\n

#3 Professor\u2019s Expectations Are the Same<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many professors will have the same expectations of you over the summer as they would have during the normal school year. You are going to have to show up on time and regularly, finish your homework, and limit your extracurricular activities so you can get above average grades on your exams.<\/p>\n

Your professor is busy working over the summer teaching you, and, chances are, she\u2019ll want you to work hard too! I know you can do it, just make the commitment and stick to it. Oh! And if you have a hard time getting up early for class, check out these awesome tips for never missing your 9 o\u2019clock lecture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#4 New Material Is Difficult<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As you\u2019ve probably already discovered by now, learning new subjects can be tough! If you sign up for that exciting summer astronomy course, for example, you may be shocked to find out that it\u2019s not all about gazing at the stars and memorizing the constellations (yeah there\u2019s some<\/i> of that\u2026).<\/p>\n

There is some legit new stuff you\u2019ll have to learn to master astronomy, so don\u2019t get too excited about jumping on a mission to Mars just yet. First you\u2019re going to need to figure out the difference between absolute and apparent magnitude and learn how to calculate escape velocity!<\/p>\n

Classes you\u2019ve never taken before can be very challenging since all the material is brand new<\/b>\u2014unlike the universe, which is 13.77 billion years old (and counting).<\/p>\n

#5 Hours and Hours of Reading<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Are you a slower reader, like me? Or does reading put you to sleep in less time than it takes you to turn the page? If so, you may want to avoid taking that Shakespeare course this summer or any other class with a ton of reading on its syllabus. You don\u2019t want to fall behind on your homework because of simply having too much reading and too little time. If reading too slowly is often a problem for you, you may want to learn the art of speed-reading<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#6 Limited Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Oh, so you\u2019re planning on bussing tables at Applebee\u2019s full-time, going camping with your friends, and acing your summer Greek Literature class in the next four weeks, are you? Well you may need a reality check. Summer school leaves little time for much else, what with all that homework, and testing, and class time.<\/p>\n

Remember, you\u2019re not immortal; I encourage you to be careful before you venture out this summer and try to take on too many challenges at once.<\/p>\n

But before you get too freaked out, fear not! There\u2019s some pretty solid evidence that summer school classes are actually easier than normal college classes.<\/b><\/p>\n

Actually… Summer School Is Easier<\/h2>\n

\nThe second \u201ccamp\u201d claims that summer school is actually easier<\/i><\/b>. Maybe this is because the hot summer sun makes professors feel relaxed and lenient. But I\u2019ve actually compiled a pretty solid list of more probable reasons for why you could potentially skate through summer school:\n

#1 A Pared-Down Syllabus<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Wooohoo! You only have to do a portion of the assignments that the Art History students had to do last spring! It\u2019s time for celebration, especially if Art History is just a filler class for you. The time constraint of the short summer school schedule doesn\u2019t allow for everything<\/i> to be crammed in; that would be crazy.<\/p>\n

This means that teachers will typically only pick out the most important aspects of the course to teach.<\/b> But beware! This method is easier in some subjects (English and art classes for example) than it is in others classes (like sciences and math) where a foundation of knowledge must be meticulously laid (less can be left out).<\/p>\n

#2 Graduate Students and Postdocs Are More Lenient Teachers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fact: some summer school teachers are easier than the regular school year profs.<\/b> This is because they are often postdoc or graduate students trying to get some teaching experience in.<\/p>\n

There is a really great tool on the web for you to use to help you determine whether your potential summer school teacher is tough or not, but I\u2019ll give you more on that later in this post. So hang on!<\/p>\n

#3 You Already Know This Stuff!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Are you taking this summer class to re-take a class that you didn\u2019t do too well in last fall? Well it may be disappointing for you to have to re-take the class, but the good news\u2014no the great<\/i> news\u2014is that it should be easier the second go around, as you\u2019ll already be somewhat familiar with the material. Ummm\u2026assuming you didn\u2019t sleep through all the lectures the first time, of course.<\/p>\n

#4 No Time to Forget<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do you suffer from I forgot what the heck I learned in the beginning of the school year<\/i> syndrome? Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019re not alone! And even better, you won\u2019t have that problem this summer. During summer school, since you are covering a subject over a few weeks, rather than a few months, there is less time to forget the material. You learned the stuff just a few weeks ago, so the information you need to know for the final exam is still \u201cfresh\u201d.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

#5 Smaller Class Sizes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The smaller class sizes of summer school mean that there is more opportunity for you to interact with your teachers, and you\u2019ll have more chances to get all of your questions answered.<\/p>\n

In fact, Professor Ellen Bremen<\/a>, the Chatty Professor, encourages you to take advantage of this and talk to your professor every day<\/a> if necessary, starting from day one. She writes, \u201cIf you need an A, or any other grade, in that summer school class, see the prof before the first <\/b>class, after the first <\/b>class, or walk with him\/her out to the parking lot if you have to (but no stalking!).\u201d<\/p>\n

I know what you’re thinking by now: “Hmmm… so it seems like summer school classes really are easier. Sign me up, Sally!”<\/b><\/p>\n

Not so fast.<\/p>\n

Before I jumped to this conclusion and started recommending students earn some easy credit over summer, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t unknowingly sending you to the summer schools slaughterhouse. In fact, I chatted with four different college summer school professors and asked them what their opinions are on the difficulty level of summer school classes compared to normal school courses.<\/p>\n

Is Summer School Harder or Easier? Here’s What the Profs Say<\/h2>\n

\t<\/p>

\nProfessor Bradley Hyman<\/a> at UC Riverside<\/a> says, \u201cI taught Introduction to Cell and Molecular Biology, normally a ten-week quarter, compressed into a five-week summer quarter. We met four days a week for 1.5 hours and had two allied laboratories per week instead of one. Sometimes students were taking midterm exams and handing in laboratory reports in the same week!\u201d\n

YIKES! That sounds like a nightmare.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Professor Morris Maduro<\/a> didn’t offer much to alleviate our concerns. He told me, \u201cI make the same demands of students in terms of knowledge, scholarship, and responsibility. Exams, assessments, and expectations are the same as during the regular academic year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oof\u2026that\u2019s not very good news, is it\u2026?<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s hope<\/b>\u2026 so don\u2019t get too stressed out just yet.<\/p>\n

The associate dean<\/b> of UC Riverside Department of Biology Dr. Leah Haimo<\/a>, says, \u201cIt is often not regular faculty who teach in the summer, but graduate students or postdocs. (For this reason), most summer school classes are not as rigorous as are the regular courses\u2026mostly because they are not taught by regular faculty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thank you Dr. Haimo for that good news, right? And she\u2019s not alone in her opinion that you can get through the summer with little stress. <\/b><\/p>\n

I also talked to Dr. Eva Telzer, Assistant Professor of Psychology at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign<\/a>, and she says, “If I were teaching summer school I would be more flexible, given that the schedule is more packed and there’s less time for the students to develop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phew! So they\u2019re not all out to make your summer miserable.<\/p>\n

Tips for Summer School Survival<\/h2>\n

So what\u2019s this all boil down to? Can summer school really be a good time to bank some course credit without sacrificing your entire summer?<\/p>\n

Yes, it can be, as long as you follow these three tips on how to survive summer school:<\/p>\n

#1 Watch Your Credit Load<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re going to take multiple classes, make sure they are redos or less intensive courses (e.g. don\u2019t take organic chemistry, physics, and<\/i> calculus). Typically you shouldn\u2019t take more than two classes simultaneously, three at most, because the classes in the summer are so intensive.  In fact, most schools have a maximum credit load limit that ranges from 8-15 credits for the entire summer semester.<\/p>\n

#2 Select Subjects That Make You Feel Like a Ninja!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you are trying to pick an easy summer load, then select subjects that you are strong in (for me that would be English), rather than subjects that make you scratch your head in confusion (Chemistry\u2026ick!). On the flip side, if you are trying to challenge yourself, or knock out your most hated subject, this summer, plan to take a single class that you find difficult, and focus on it like a laser beam.<\/p>\n

#3 Snag the Most Popular College Courses<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At some universities, courses that are hard to get into during the spring and fall semesters will be offered during the summer to meet demand, so this could be your chance to get into that awesome Film History class that you\u2019ve been waitlisted for every semester since your freshman year.  But be careful, summer classes are typically first come first serve<\/b>, so sign up as early as possible, especially if you\u2019re going for the hottest course offered in your school.<\/p>\n

And finally this brings us to the most helpful, amazing tip of all to make sure that your summer school experience isn\u2019t too hard to handle.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

#4 Use College Professor Ratings to See if Your Professors Are Easy (or Hot!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even if you choose less intensive classes, you can still get stuck with a \u201chard\u201d teacher. Make sure you research the professor you\u2019re considering taking a class from before you sign up.<\/p>\n

Remember how we got you all freaked out when we told you what Professor Hyman said? Good news, according to RateMyProfessors.com<\/a>, it turns out he\u2019s rated a 2.3 out of 5 rating for \u201ceasiness,\u201d showing that he is somewhere between an “easy A” and “the usual” when it comes to difficulty (a 5 score would denote he’s the hardest prof). So no need to get too worried, just try to avoid those 5s on the easiness scale if you don’t want a tough professor over the summer.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s say that you need to take an intensive chemistry course this summer to get those science credits you\u2019re after. The best way to survive a summer chemistry course would be to avoid<\/strong> the hardest chemistry professor in the whole school <\/b>(that is, unless you\u2019re some kind of proton-neutron-lovin\u2019 genius!).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a Step-by-Step Tutorial Showing How To Find Ratings for Professors<\/b><\/h4>\n

Step 1: Search Your School<\/h3>\n

In this example we are searching Diablo Valley College \u2013 Pleasant Hill.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Select the Appropriate Department<\/h3>\n

Now select \u201cchemistry\u201d from the department drop down menu.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Sort By the Easy Professors<\/h3>\n

Now sort the profs by the \u201ceasiness\u201d column by clicking on the blue column header.<\/p>\n

And voila<\/i>! We\u2019ve discovered Chemistry Professor Richard Samuelson is the hardest of the chem teachers at Diablo Valley College, with a 5.0 easiness rating, which means “hardest thing I’ve ever done” according to the scale.  And check this out, he\u2019s been rated by 5 students, which makes his rating more believable than Professor Dorota, who has been rated by only one student so far.<\/p>\n

To find the easiest prof, just look for a 1 or 2 score in the easiness scale. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

 

Step 4: Read the Reviews!<\/h3>\n

This is the fun part where you really get to find out the dirt on your potential prof. Previous students will have left glowing or hateful reviews of the professor in question. Be sure to read a few to make sure this professor has the qualities you seek in your ideal summer school teacher. (And when you\u2019re done with your summer school class, leave a review of your own!)<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts on Summer School<\/h2>\n

The Lesson? Summer School can be easier than normal school, you just have to make sure you play your cards right.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Just like during a normal school semester, summer school classes are either easy or difficult depending on your comfort with the course material and the difficulty of the professors. You can end up with a hard schedule if you overload yourself, or get stuck with a tough teacher.<\/p>\n

But if you are looking for an easier summer schedule, make sure to do your research and choose your subject and professor wisely, consider how much time you want to spend doing schoolwork over the summer, and you\u2019ll be fine. You can still enjoy your summer and get a little school credit if you plan accordingly.<\/p>\n
