Hi there,
I took the second half of the English requirement at a JC over the summer. I thought it was fine.
Due to the time constrain, it probably wasn't as rigorous as the regular English class at the UC system. But I thought my teacher was terrific and I learned a lot. Ultimately, i think it depends on what you want to get out of it. If you just want to get it over with quickly....then summer school at a JC is fine. But if you love literature and want to explore it a bit more, then by all means, take it at your school, i assume that you are in one of the UC schools. Both routes should be fine. Hope this helps!
