Who's taking classes this summer?

I am! Are you? Also, quick question: I'm taking 3 classes this summer, they're not hard classes by any means. Mass Media class, World History class and a Philosophy 'Religions of the World' class... I looked up each professor for each class and none of the reviews stated the work was hard or demanding, so I figure the extra transferable units would be fine for Summer. Six weeks Summer, I got a 4.0 last semester, so I did pretty well.

Anyway, is 3 classes too much for a crunched 6 week summer semester? Also, are you taking Summer classes? Which classes?

Yep, I start on Tuesday. I think three classes would be a lot, at least for me. I have class Monday through Thursday. Only one class each day but it's for like 3.5 hours. I'm taking junior English (required for pretty much every major unless you get an A in freshman English... I placed out of it with AP English but for some reason that doesn't get you out of junior English) and criminalistics, which is basically forensics, for my "advanced studies" elective (a 300 or 400 level class outside of one's major).

One's in the morning and one's in the evening, should be pretty fun and both classes are supposed to be easy

I'm only taking one class, but it's economics, so it's kind of intense. My midterm is next Friday and I've only been in the class for two weeks... such a change from normal classes! I've been studying nonstop for it, so it's probably a good thing I decided not to take another one this summer.

I'm taking an online Psych class and we had our first exam... a week into the class. It is tough just because we move so fast but the material isn't really that difficult and I can listen to the online lectures as many times as I need.

Taking a CC science class. Haven't decided on which one to fulfill my gen Ed since I hate all science classes.

But on top of this I have a job or else I would've taken one more.

I think you'll be fine.

I'm taking Principles of Macroeconomics for SSI and Calculus for Business and Economics for SS II. Both at UCONN. Kind of freaking out about calculus since I suck at math.

I'm taking one online course this summer - more than that is probably doable but I just finished high school so I want to start off slow while still getting ahead.

I'm taking 2 this session and one next session. One science, one senior-level sociology class (first soc class), and one senior-level philosophy class (first philosophy class). It's definitely doable. I'm doing fine in my science and philosophy class which is in 7 weeks and balancing a few jobs on top of it.
