opportunity to deal with time conflicts and have the schedule
changed. Holding final examinations in the weeks prio: to the
final exam week is detrimental to the students because it creates
conflicts prior to exam week and students miss other classes in

order to study for or take the "final exam".

FIFTEEN WEEK SEMESTER

 

The semester is fifteen weeks long, at the end of which there is

a final examination.

No instructor has the right to shorten the period of instruction
by giving the last week off to study for other final examinations
or for any other purpose. The work should be planned from the
first day in the full knowledge of which days are holidays and

the day that the semester ends.

MID-TERM ASSESSMENT
Each student has the right to demand from an instructor an assess-—

ment at mid-term.

The purpose of this assessment is to give the student a rational
basis on which to determine whether or not he or she should with-
draw from the course, redouhle his or her efforts or carry on as
usual. In order to give a mid-term assessment, the instructor
must provide some basis for the assessment other than a subjective
analysis of the student's ability. That is, at least two assign-
ments or tests should be given and graded prior to the day the mid-

term assessment is due.
