I Didn't Realize Missing One Day in a Summer Class Could Set You Back So Much
Hello, Before taking summer classes, I figured missing one lecture wouldn't be a huge deal. During a regular semester, you can usually catch up over the next few days.
Summer classes are a completely different story. Everything moves so fast that missing one class can feel like you've missed an entire week. By the time you've caught up on the lecture, there are already new readings, another assignment, and a quiz coming up. It feels like the course never slows down long enough for you to get back on track. I've definitely gained a new appreciation for showing up every day because in a compressed semester, there's almost no room for falling behind.
Has anyone else been surprised by how much one missed class can affect your entire week during the summer?
