is world history and oral communication a good combination for summer quarter?

<p>i’m a high school graduate and i decided to go community college for my first 2 years.
i signed up for summer classes already and i picked world history, oral communication, and PE. summer quarter is 6 weeks long.</p>

<p>i was wondering if i want to pass both of these classes with 4.0, what would be the difficulty level? (easy to get, not hard nor easy, pretty hard)</p>

<p>my sat score is 1420. 570 math, 360 writing, 490 reading
didn’t try back in high school [not saying i will do my best now, but i’m definitely more wise and will try to try]</p>

<p>im planning to spend 2 hours for each 1 hour in class a day [each classes is around 2 hour]</p>

<p>2x3x2=12 2x3x2=12 24 hour 24/7=
estimate 3-4 hour a day on homework [include weekends]</p>

<p>world history 7:30am - 9:55am tuesday wednesday thursday
PE: strength development 10am - 11:40am tuesday thursday [no homework, im guessing]
oral communication 12:30pm - 2:55pm tuesday wednesday thursday</p>

<p>i’m really new to this and idk much so thank you for helping!</p>

<p>I started CC during a summer term as well, and your expectations are right on the money. I took a math course and a speech course (kind of like oral communication) for 9 quarter units and definitely needed a few hours a day, at least, for homework and study time. Actually, I found this typical no matter which term was currently going on, but just with more classes during the regular academic year.</p>

<p>Most courses actually state that 2 hours of homework/study time is needed for every 1 hour of class time. Some students take more and some take less, of course, based on how they are as students.</p>

<p>5 minutes between a 2 1/2 hour class and PE? Have you determined where your World History classroom is in relation to the PE one? Do you think 5 mins is enough time to jet over (hopefully the World History Prof doesn’t keep you over the 9:55 time - if s/he does, then you should probably just leave right at 9:55 anyway to ensure you have time to get to PE . . . I’d also suggest going to your World Hist class in whatever clothes you’d be doing PE in so that you don’t have to rush to change before it starts since I’m assuming you need to be changed and ready to go by the 10:00 time. I’ve never taken PE @ CC, so I don’t know what exactly is expected in that situation).</p>

<p>The 11:40 - 12:30 break is good and you should probably eat at that time, unless you know your body’s needs otherwise (or if prof let you eat in class anyway). If you don’t otherwise work, then you should have plenty of time for a moderately determined student to accomplish assignments (out by 3pm each day of class plus F - M, 4 days!, to get things done).</p>

<p>I tried to look for the right “combo” of related classes this summer too (e.g. taking U.S. History and Political Science) for great academic complement, but there were other things I wanted to do, so I couldn’t. Ultimately, I don’t think the lack of academic course coordination matters much, and students often find it a nice reprieve to be talking about different things throughout the day.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>

<p>I started at a JC also after I graduated. But mostly summer time a lot of people take speech/oral communication because its shorter (as compared to semester) and also speech and pe should be easy to pass and maybe the history class needs a little more attention. For PE classes there will be finals at the end. Usually you have to present something like for dance you have to have a dance routine and that would be your final.</p>
