Thread: New Testing Schedule

The new testing schedule looks interesting, but I'm not sure how effective it will be. Speaking as a first semester, I didn't really mind the first exam being 5 weeks in instead of 4. The material seemed to line up pretty well with the exams. Anatomy - done with the arm (except hand) by the first exam, Histo/Biochem All the real basic stuff done and moving on to blood after the first exam etc.

I like the idea of things being more evenly spread out, I just hope the material is rearranged so it still fits the exams in a way that semi-makes sense instead of the exams just becoming arbitrary breaks in the material.

This is new?

yea its new. first mini would be after 5 weeks worth of material. now it's 4 weeks, so in fourth semester, you have the first four weeks which is tested on mini 1 and then the mini instead of the additional 5th week of mini 2 material the week before mini 1 during which no one goes to class
