<p>No, because the summer classes are easier, period. A big part of the reason is that the students, as a group, aren’t nearly as well-prepared. Thus, most profs do not move at their usual speed or expect the usual level of analysis from students. Even in classes that technically aren’t curved, the best paper in any class is going to get an A, and it’s a lot easier to write the best paper in the class when the other students are high schoolers rather than Harvard undergrads.</p>
