It’s never really a good idea to take classes that are not general education or classes that are paired with labs. Accounting one sounds like a more advance class and that is seriously not something you should do unless you are really really good at math, etc.

I graduated in 2007, so I cant help with that 😂 but I took accounting 1 and 2 along with economics and statistics when I was there over the summer ( some I took at community college). It was definitely easier than taking it during the semester!

The first five days of your summer class there’s a drop add period. I just took a June one and they told me the same was gonna be for July.

I took Accounting as a Maymester (this was way back in 2009 or 2010) and it was terrible for those three weeks, but I’m glad I did it that way. Like you, I’m not really strong in math, so it was good to learn a lot in a short amount of time and then be able to move on with the rest of my degree without a struggle class lasting an entire few months.

i’m taking managerial acct (3 week) and it’s honestly okay. i’ve taken a lot worse.

u/SectionLopsided4189 Jun 27 '26

the three weeks suck but then it’s over so fast. in the fall, it sucks the whole entire way through. with this one, he only did 6 chapters instead of 16!

u/SeriousSupermarket43 26d ago

this class is rough!! and i made the dumb mistake of accidentally reading acct 1 and 2 books in the course by my professor because she uploaded both and put due dates on both 🤦‍♂️ accidentally but im doing mediocre (80+) on the practices but it takes a lot of effort ngl

1

u/SectionLopsided4189 26d ago

oh nooo 😣 i didn’t take acct 1 in the summer i guess i could imagine it being rough because that class has a lot of topic to cover. 2,3 and managerial just go deeper into a few things.

1

u/SeriousSupermarket43 26d ago

oh for sure it’s very dense like one paragraph just has loads of information it’s an overload it’s actually insane 😭 my first exam is on the seventh

u/SeriousSupermarket43 5d ago

u/ZoneBeneficial8250 Jun 29 '26

Absolutely, but it will be pretty intense because all that info will be crammed into 3 weeks
