<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSummer courses are fast-paced as they only run for two months. You\u2019d think this would make classes harder but I notice the syllabi are set differently to accommodate the accelerated term. Professors also hold different expectations for summer classes; I find them more lenient during the summer and have demands for tests and assignments that aren\u2019t as harsh as the normal school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another part of what makes summer courses more enjoyable is the weather; if you know anything about Canadian weather, the winters get long and those gorgeous but sporadic days of sunny weather are numbered. Canadian summer in Toronto is pretty consistent and attending school under beautiful weather naturally boosts my motivation. I recall attending lectures in-person or online and I\u2019d go for a nice walk or study outside in between classes. Good weather allows me more balance between work and play as it\u2019s easier to go outside and I can bring my homework to places like the beach (which I\u2019ve certainly done) before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSummer school isn\u2019t for everyone and doing well or enjoying summer classes depends on a person\u2019s learning style, needs, and lifestyle. Although I think it\u2019s worth trying at least one summer course. U of T summer courses are charged per course instead of a big tuition for the whole session. If you will be in Toronto for the summer or there\u2019s an online course available in your program then there\u2019s no harm in giving it a try!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
