Easy summer school courses
Hello,

I'm planning on taking summer school courses this year, 1 course per summer term. I can only take one more first year course because of my program requirement. So I'll have to take 1 first year course and 1 upper year course. Could anyone please suggest easy courses to take? Because I have to work full time in Toronto everyday and the commute time is quite lengthy. Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks in advance!

First off sorry but I can't recommend any particular courses. However what I want to propose is taking a hard class. A lot of people look for bird courses to take in the summer but it makes 10x more sense to take a harder one since you are only taking one course. That way you can take the bird course during the year when you have other more difficult courses alongside it to give yourself a break. Also if you can get one of your pre-req courses out of the way in the summer you will be more flexible in the fall... just a thought, although that's not to say that your particular situation doesn't preclude you from taking a harder course in the summer. Just wanted to put that out there. Good luck with your selection.

Maybe you should consider taking 1 course per term cause I've heard some people have trouble keeping up with how fast the material goes by. What course do you plan to take in the summer? If its something like Math 2Z04 or 2ZZ5 then maybe consider taking only that one for the term.

Ya, I'm planning on taking 2Z04 and 2ZZ5 in the two terms. I was thinking of taking econ 1b03 and 1bb3 along with them cause those two are pretty easy classes.
