Are Mini-Mesters Hard?

I am going to to be taking a History 1301 mini-mester in December. It is only three weeks long compared to a full semester of sixteen weeks. Will this be hard? #college-student #student #high-school #college

Samantha -- Good for you for taking this on! I was always a fan of the mini-mesters because they are much more immersive. Instead of getting distracted by 5 other subject, you get to focus on only one. Often, you end up with more smaller assignments than longer term ones, but you also have the teacher's full attention for that abbreviated semester!

Sara Joan recommends the following next steps:

Try to get a copy of the syllabus from the professor

Hi Samantha,

I'm going to be honest with you "mini-mesters" are usually fairly difficult if done with multiple classes. It will be a lot of content/information and a lot of work in a very short amount of time. If you are only taking the one class than I have seen students do better in "mini-mesters" compared to a normal semester. I think "mini-mesters" have the potential to be very good for students, but you have to time manage and put in the work.

Samantha’s Answer

It won't be easy. I have taken "mini-mester" courses and it is a lot of information thrown at you in a very short period of time. It is a lot of work but its not for nothing. You will have to stay very organized with your work and make sure you are on top of all assignments.
