Mid semester break (1 Viewer)

[Cape]

So u guys have ur mid-semester break starting from 25th Apr hey, damn that's tough, I think that's a lil 2 long between start of semester 2 the holiday and after u have the mid break ur almost approaching exams already so maybe the scheduling aint the best.

no, its not tough! when you look at it theres 3 or 4 weeks until stuvac so we will still be slightly energenic towards all the studying.

Also, you made absolutely no sense in the post it was a whole bunch of blab. And why are you back in here posting something which you know absolutely nothing about.

The scheduling was done for a particular reason - theres so many public holidays at this time of year, that theres no point in having this week off.

I made perfect sense Cape. 3-4 weeks aint that long in my opinion, should be around 6-7 weeks after the mid break but I suppose if ur fine with it then there shouldn't be complaining but then again u don't represent the whole of UWS

9 weeks isn't that bad - especially when theres an easter long weekend

and not everyone here goes to uni for 5 days like i do.

And I represent more of UWS than you do and what you ever will

Macquarie's Mid-semester break is the same week.
So it isn't just UWS.

That is my non-useful input for this thread.

Yeah ur right, that was quite a non-useful input indeed.

Anywayz UWS and Mac aint the same week, it's actually 1 week earlier, it's 7 weeks then mid break, then another 6 weeks, wouldn't that be a better system?...like 4 everything 2 be equal, some students study better in the first half of the semester than the second half so the weeks are broken down evenly, 4 ppl that did not keep up in first half of semester can have adequate amounts of time 2 catch up in the second half of semester.

Are you sure?

Since I was told that by someone who goes to Macquarie...
and if it's wrong, well, it doesn't bother me too much, it's not my uni.

The important thing is I can admit when I am being non-useful, It comes as a disclaimer.

 

[Cape]

meh ... atleast theres only a few weeks of work which we can fall behind on before stuvac starts

super flyse post's are so much more useful than yours hero!

Yeah i'm pretty sure, unless i'm totally misinformed.

What exactly is Stuvac?...

What exactly is Stuvac?...

For the 20th billionth time ... stuvac is exactly the same as in highschool. A week off before your exams - which allows you to study, also, some assignments are due during this time.

 

[HerO]

What difference is one week ffs. Last year it was week 7 when we had our break

I wonder why it's not constant every year in UWS?...like in most Uni's the mid break are at the same time every year...

Ok so ur mid break only lasts 4 1 week right?...and the stuvac week makes up as the 2 weeks students are meant 2 have as holidays?...

Mid semester break = one week
Stuvac = one week
Examination period = 2 weeks - only if you have exams though, if you dont have exams, you finish 3 weeks before everyone else

Stuvac is not a holiday.

Stuvac second semester last year was a holiday, only cause I had no exams

 

[HerO]

Maybe becuase we have the Easter weekend so close to the mid semester break this year.
Stuvac is not a holiday. Stuvac occurs at most unis, in fact i dont kno a uni that doesent have it. It is only a week.

lol u don't know alot of things ...by the way, there's no stuvac at Mac and it's better that way...

I was starting 2 like the idea of Stuvacs and then u mentioned it counted as 1 week towards ur mid semester break so that sux, it's hardly a holiday week since most students would have exams and assignments so it's actually Stress Week rather than holiday.

stuvac=study + vacation but its been contracted to stu + vac.

Holiday - why the hell would you go to uni for a holiday? If you can't cope with 10 weeks on constant work, how are you going to cope with the real work life after you leave uni?

lol ur misunderstanding me yet again...what I meant was it's good 2 have some holidays 2 take time off and catch up or if ur ahead u can relax a bit more during the middle of a semester. Like at Mac it's 7 weeks, then 2 weeks holiday, then 6 weeks, then exams...that's wat I thought happened at most Unis, but obviously not UWS which I think kinda sux, cuz u can't seriously say that u wouldn't prefer a 2 week holiday rather than a 1 week holiday plus Stuvac?...Cuz Stuvac is not really a holiday but rather more intended 4 students 2 study 4 exams am I not right?...

 

[Cape]

Hero I suggest you go back to high school and learn to write in english!

Atleast UWS gives you a week before exams to study - I'm sure mac has their reasons why they do the timetabling that way.

It is also noted that NOT every student has end of semester exams though
