Completing Physics I during a summer session, particularly a half-summer session, is generally discouraged due to the compressed timeline and potential for inadequate coverage of material. Many summer courses, especially those starting in July, primarily offer Physics II, assuming prior completion of Physics I. Students seeking to enroll in Physics I during the summer should research schools that provide this course in the later summer sessions, but they should be aware of the challenges associated with accelerated learning in physics.

My best friend is desparate to complete physics 1 this summer but was not able to get into any courses that started this june. There are many summer sessions that are considered "summer 2" that begin in july. Unfortunately many of these sessions only offer a physics II (they assume you completed physics I in the first summer session). If anyone has expereince with this please let me know which school offers physics 1 during summer II session!
thanks, Ed

please excuse my spelling mistakes above! Should have proofread!
 
I'm not sure...but I would strongly advise against taking physics I in a summer session, let alone a half-summer session. That's just not a good idea. Not only will it be difficult, but material and explanations are going to be cut out for time.

Thread 'How do physicists practically switch fields to non-adjacent subfields?'

Hi all, Hope you are doing well. I'm a current grad student in applied geophysics and will finish my PhD in about 2 years (previously did a HBSc in Physics, did research in exp. quantum optics). I chose my current field because of its practicality and its clear connection to industry, not out of passion (a clear mistake). I notice that a lot of people (colleagues) switch to different subfields of physics once they graduate and enter post docs. But 95% of these cases fall into either of...
