I decided to finish off a pre-major requirement (STA 291) through a new winter session that my college is offering for the first time, and thus far it seems pretty cool.

The class itself is only 2 weeks long. So it started this past Monday (A mere two days after my fall semester final) and I'll have my midterm this Thursday. :lol

It seems kinda crazy, but when you're going to class from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. & 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. you actually take in quite a bit. My final exam will be the Friday after New Year's.

Anybody else ever thought about taking winter sessions if offered? It seems like a really fast and easy way to earn a grade opposed to dragging through an entire semester.

My university didn't offer winter classes, but I loved the first summer session we had, it was only 3 weeks long. I always took advantage of summer sessions, enjoyed them quite a bit.

Winter and summer classes are great for general-ed requirements in undergrad. By the time you get deep into an engineering major though or grad school in a tech subject the classes aren't really offered that count towards anything at those times. I don't know if I'd want to cram VLSI or Computer Reliability Analysis into two weeks anyway.

There are a few Systems Engineering graduate classes available during the summer at my university - but no one ever said Systems Engineer was real engineering anyway. :lol I keed, I keed!!

Yeah I took a history class during a winter break. It was five hours a day five days a week... GOD that was brutal. I think it was my first general education A in college tho haha.

Yeah, I'm taking a GE class called Historical Process (whatever THAT means). I want to finish up my GE before my senior year SO I haven't got much of a choice... you'd think these guys would be kinder to out-of-state transfer students.
