Many summer classes are in a time period shorter than the normal semester-length class. There are advantages and disadvantages to this format:
PROS:
You can focus on only one or two classes. You are not spreading out your study time over four or five different subject areas.
The class usually meets every day, so repetition is built in.
Even while working very hard, you know it is for a brief time – you can see the end.
CONS:
You have to stay on top of your studying; you cannot take even one day off.
There exams and/or assignments scheduled almost weekly.
You are learning a semester’s worth of information in a short period of time, so there is a lot to learn.
You have to do a semester’s worth of studying in a short period of time.
Here are some TIPS for SUCCESS:
Mentally prepare for the work. Plan on studying every day.
After each class, learn the information from that day and also review all of the previous information.
Don’t miss any classes.
Be sure to keep track of assignment and exam dates.
Schedule a fun activity for when the class is over so you have something to look forward to.
