A Q2S Guide

March 11, 2020 by Kai Watson 1,059 Comments

The Q2S change is happening in less than six months, and it can be intimidating if you don’t have the correct information. Students worry about not being able to finish on time or taking classes that they shouldn’t need to. Departments set up their own criteria, but as far as general education goes, everyone will have to follow the same requirements. Dr. Craig Seal, who is the former dean of the Office of Undergraduate Studies, spoke about the advantages of teaching on a semester system based on his experience with both approaches. “Quarters are so fast.

October 29, 2019 by Kai Watson 132 Comments

Gap years are always talked about when students are burnt out of their education.
