Students in the past have said this course is easier over the summer, but the course has been reconfigured and students now report that it is just as hard, at least, as taking it during the fall/spring. It doesn't matter who the instructor is (and the course is online anyway). I do not recommend taking this course in the summer if you have struggled with it or think you will struggle with it.

Exams heavily reliant on past exam and homework material, often copying the exact problems and numbers from previous assignments.
