If you are taking two summer classes, realize that you are trying to squish a 15 week course into 6 or 8 weeks.

Keep in mind that the government/accreditation assumes that for every academic hour in class, you need to do 2-3 hours of studying/reading/homework.
15 weeks/course x 3 class/week (1 hours/class + 2-3 study/homework hours/class) = 135-180 hours needed for a course
If you had 2 classes in 8 weeks, that would be around 20 hours/ class/week.x 2 classes =40 hours/week

So 2 classes is a full time job…plus you are working another 8 hours on top of that?

You have to put your school work as your first priority…remember that HW includes reading/studying/doing homework which is a way to practice your skills that you are learning. You are going to have to drop the amount of work hours you are doing so you can succeed in your classes.

What your professor is saying is that you have to make the choices…you can choose to not get 15-20% of your grade and probably not get a good grade in your class. or you can choose to work less.
