Shark Speak: How do you feel about NSU’s summer course offerings and why?

jenna fitzhenryJenna Fitzhenry, sophomore communication sciences and disorders major,

“I personally don’t really take summer classes because they are too expensive at NSU and I also live far away. It doesn’t make sense for me to stay here over the summer when I can pay for the classes with my scholarship during the fall and winter semesters. If you need them, they are good to have, but they don’t work out [for me].”

“I think there are plenty courses offered to help students during the summer. The only complaint would be is that it is a bit pricey … but that’s about it.”

“There are not enough. They don’t really offer anything other than certain biology classes. Just in general [they need more classes]. They need more teachers in general and it’s worse in the summer.

“I think they should be split into five and six-week courses because other [colleges] do that, and we should have the class meetings five days a week. That way you can get the most prerequisites in. I also feel like we should be able to have a break in between. Right now, if you do a summer course, you have no break.

“I don’t mind them., I’ve taken a lot of summer classes before. It’s a good way to make sure you have taken any major or minor classes you need to take before you graduate. I declared a minor late, so it was a good way to finish that up and some classes are online so you don’t have to be on campus to take them.”
