I know in X1, and X2, you do the whole course in one week, do you have to be a quick learner, work harder and cram more since the whole course is compacted into one single week instead of spanning over 2 hours a week in normal session?

You just have to work intensly over a short period of time
like winter session has class 3 days a week for 5 hours in some gen-eds, so yeah, its tough to keep up

just a quick question; i assume the x1 and x2 survivor is referring to is the summer and winter breaks...

do you know if the FCE has any make-up courses for during the summer/winter holiday period, in the case i transfer and want to catch up?
