#chang school

Enterprising authors, artists, and publishers, this magazine class is still open for registration at the Chang School at Ryerson University. Labs will be taught in the Graphic Communications School, Heidleberg Building. Sign up, quick, classes begin this Tuesday, January 17, 2017.

Yes, however it is best to fully confirm this with your Faculty Office. I have taken a course this summer (CGEO702), but I had to get permission from my Faculty to enrol in the course. This may work out differently with your faculty, so contacting them would be the next best move.

Hope this answers your question.

Well this is my first time taking courses in the summer, and let me say, it is not that bad. If its one of those 1-2 days a week Liberal courses, it will be somewhat intense work for about a month or so, then bamboozle, its done before you know it. They are usually in the Spring (May-June) and in the Summer (July-August) semesters.

Then there are other courses that are both Spring and Summer (I am currently taking one that started on May 5th, and is ending on Aug 25th :(. ). 

Overall, I stopped really being bothered by them, and as long as you spent about 30 mins to an hour on homework for a majority of the week, work gets done.

When the class is done, you have a credit you earned in about 1-2 months, rather than spend an entire fall or winter semester on it. However if you value the lengthy content of a Liberal, then by all means go for Fall or Winter.

An important note, since Spring/Summer courses are less frequent and finish quicker, the course lectures ands labs are longer. A lecture that would have been 2-3 hours in Fall/Winter semester, could be 3-7 hours long in Spring/Summer (I had a 7 hour one this summer, but thank the gods we had two 15 minute breaks, and a lunch hour break).

But for quick completion of Liberals, and as a result, granting yourself less course load during fall and winter, it is definitely a viable option.

I think Kieran also has insight on this, as he is also taking summer courses.

Hope this gives you something to think about :)

Most of the time, a majority of Liberals/Electives are offered in the Spring/Summer semester through Chang School. When I was applying for a Liberal for this summer 2014, courses were open for enrolment in Mid April 2014. Don’t hold my word for it though on the open enrolment date, but it is around that time.

Sometimes, if you’re lucky, other requirements can be offered. I’m currently also taking a course, CCMN432 (which I taking as a substitute for my required course, CMN300). 

So if you’re 4-leaf clover lucky, you can even find courses which count as equivalent for the course you are looking to take. (CCMN432 for CMN300) A chang school course also tends to have an extra ‘C’ in front of the course code (CCMN432).

Hope this is a viable answer :)
