PHYS 241 - PHYS 272 - Absolutely NOT easier in SUMMER

ALERT - Students said PHYS 241 and 272 were easier in the summer, but a couple years ago the instructors adjusted due to various things, prob including cheating, and now the courses are just as hard as they are during the year. LOTS of students end up dropping bc they don't plan ahead and they think the courses are still easier.

PLUS in summer you don't have the Engineering Success Center, which has free group and individual tutors for both those courses in spring and fall. If PHYS is your thing, you'll be fine. If not, better to take these during the fall/spring. Either way, be prepared to put in plenty of work. And 272 has a lab, so if you're in a different time zone from your lab partners, you'll have trouble coordinating with them in summer when you're home or wherever.
