Do you have your exams in term 3?
|
before I go I wont leave you with an unanswered question.
We have final exams for all of our classes during the end of the term. Our school runs on a block schedule. This is different than most schools which have the same classes maybe nine all year round our system works the following way.
We have four classes during each term. The class periods last about 180 minutes or something close to that. And our school day goes from 7:40 AM to 3:15 PM. With certain after school classes or before classes(Jazz Band for me before school). Now these terms last nine weeks. In which at the end of the term, the last two days, exams for periods one and two take place, and then at 12:45 Pm we get out on those days. Then the following day periods three and four, and get dismissed at the same time. We have four terms in a year. and two terms equal one semester. So four terms, two semesters. I personally like the block schedule. You focus more on the four subjects you have during that term, and have more work yes, and more things to learn in that time frame. But its much easier than to focus on lets say nine different classes all year round, and be stressed with tons of hw for all the different classes. remember last thing some classes, examples band, lasts all year along same with jazz band. But things like math and english last two terms. Same with world studies(social studies). Or if you take certain AP(advanced placement classes) they last three terms. then there are also some classes web design,(Im taking next year) Basic programming, etc. Certain science classes, that are only one term.
Hope that answers your question atleast about our school system at Mundelein highschool. If you have any other questions ask me when I get back, and I will be happy to answer them.
