Are winter courses worth it?
I just got an email for scheduling winter session courses, and one of the offered classes is a lower div GE I (4th year) need. However: I hate online classes with a passion. Beyond that, the winter season seems to be Jan 2nd to 19th, leaving the full extent of the course to be just over two weeks. It is also $452/unit, which is absurd pricing regardless. That said: I really do not care for the idea of taking this class for the full 15(?) weeks we have in a normal semester. I've done summer courses before at a 2-year, but even those are 8 weeks.
So, all this to say: is it worth it? Has anyone taken a winter course and thought "this was worth it?" I'm willing to have 2 weeks of hell and a little out of pocket to not have to take this class in the standard school year. Let me know your thoughts!
