the courses available will change year by year but from my experience, they are generally (fairly useless) electives. I guess that depends on your program though. Stuff like first year econ, antro, poly sci and sociology are usually offered but anything 2nd year and up is a crap shoot.
The format is usually an essay, midterm and final or two essays and a final. I don't think I have ever had any quizzes or test but I did have a group project once. The workload is generally the same but you have less time to do it. The amount of reading is usually the same as a normal term. The only class I have ever taken in the summer that was a lighter load was Cults of North America (religious studies) since it was all based on movies we watched not readings. If it is taught by the normal prof, for example sco sci 2p03 with Dr. Voros, it will be the exact same class as the normal term.
I have always found summer classes harder to get a good mark in. There is a lot of work in a short period of time and its not uncommon to have a midterm or an essay due on like the 4th class. A lot of the profs are also sessional which can make it more difficult since no one knows anything about them and how they mark. For some of them it might even be there first time teaching.
Classes are twice a week for 3 hours each time. Usually mon and wed or tues and thurs. Most commonly they are 9am, 1 pm or 7pm
