Workload and expectations
Most summer courses have an intensive teaching format and completing a summer course successfully requires your full committment. For this reason, we recommend that you take no more than two courses during the summer.
For a manageable workload we recommend that you spread your courses across November and January sessions rather than enrolling in two courses in one session. Due to the timeframe for summer courses it is often not possible to be as generous with assignment extensions as it is for semester courses.
