I'm starting college in the summer term and need help deciding on a course load.?

Question

Well i'm going to college to get an AS in Paralegal Studies w/ a Specialization in Litegation. I have a number of courses to choose from but I don't want to cram too much into the 3 months for the summer term. I am required for finacial aid purposes to enroll full time so that is 12 credit courses. Any idea's?

Answer 1

Remedial English grammar and spelling.

Answer 2

Easing into it is overrated. I took one credit less than the max in every quarter my first year and I did just fine. When you begin college your energy and excitement to do well is usually at its highest anyway. Just make sure you don't cram your schedule full of all really hard classes, so then you get burnt out fast and have no time to enjoy yourself and meet people. I think 15 credits is an okay number.

Answer 3

I'm not sure what your situation is, but all i could say is, you should take the classes that you need to take that isnt too hard. List out the classes that you need and want to take. Mark out the ones that seem the easiest and then take them. The reason I am saying this is because the summer courses are really crammed, meaning they go through everything like bam bam bam bam bam. They have a really fast pace and if you are in a hard class, you'll guarantee a fail esp. for a full time student in summer. remember, its summer, take it easy, not hard.

Answer 4

If you are serious about it you should cram as much as you think you can handle, but maybe pick a few hard courses or more of the easier ones for the summer.

Answer 5

Ease into it. Take 3 4 credit courses but make sure they are introductory.

Major NOTE: If you plan on being a lawyer you need to take a logic course. It will help you on the LSAT
