Hi guys,
Just a question about doing 1 or 2 summer subjects
What are the people who take these summer subjects main motivation to do so?
Has anyone ever done them before who can offer some feedback, both good and bad?
I'm currently tossing up between business finance (which I'd find relatively easy) and QM 2 (which I'd find relatively harder) or nothing.
Thoughts?

- You failed it in semester 2
- You need it for a prerequisite in semester 1

You're bored over summer.
You want a lighter load in a later semester.

I'm doing my breadth (Finance 1) because I want a semester with only three subjects in my third year, so I can focus my time only on the three. Motivation behind this is that MD is weighted x3 compared to first year. I also need the prerequisite for Introductory Personal Finance in semester 1, so I figured I might as well. Also leaves me with no more compulsory breadth subjects after end of semester 1.
Not too sure on my logic behind summer semester here, but oh wells.

My friend is taking summer subs for a lighter load next year - 2.
So she will do three per sem after that.

With Business Finance, I heard that in the regular semesters, you need to do assignments whereas in the summer, it's just the mid-semester and exam as assessment.
