Let's turn the clock back to the historical summer of 1969. Since this is a professional blog I won't discuss the cultural history of that era. I was an chemistry undergraduate student at City College at that time and took two summer session courses. One was in basic economics while the other was an introduction to sociology. Back then advice was given to me not to take a course in my major over the summer.
Summer session courses are very concentrated. Even though the number of class hours is the same as those during a normal Fall or Spring Semester the professor just can not cover the same amount of material. This situation is true today at NJIT. There are relatively few course offered. I assume that some students chose summer classes so their class load are less during the normal semesters. It must be difficult to concentrate on studyng when the weather is so hot. Fortunately, the classrooms are air conditioned.
