First of all, the semester system
This is the same as the academic system arrangement of domestic universities. Each academic year is divided into two semesters, with courses of 14-20 weeks each. The study time is about nine months, and each semester will be arranged as an examination week, so that everyone can complete the course assessment.
With this arrangement, students will have more time to arrange their own courses and prepare for exams, and they will have more time for theoretical study and project research. However, this will also bring the disadvantage of low efficiency, so that resources can not be used to some extent.
Second, the academic year system.
One academic year is divided into ten semesters, each semester has about 9- 1 1 week courses, and there will be summer courses. The goal of each quarter will be arranged according to the four seasons, so that everyone's study will be more compact. The arranged summer courses are optional courses, and you can register for them.
This arrangement shortens the teaching time and increases the number of terms, so that students can stay in a more active and sensitive learning stage, with fewer courses and more concentration in each semester. However, due to time constraints, everyone will face greater pressure.
Trimester system
This academic system, which is common in European countries, was introduced to the United States. It divides the twelve months of a year into three semesters. Students must complete the autumn and winter semesters, and spring and summer courses can be selected. They have four admission opportunities every year and can apply for graduation after completing their studies.
The first semester is the autumn class, which will be arranged to start in late August and early September and complete the course before Christmas; The second semester is a winter class, which starts every year on 1 month and ends on1month; The third semester will be divided into two semesters, so you can choose one semester as an elective course.
4.4- 1-4 system or 4-4- 1 system.
As the name implies, a school year is divided into three stages, including two four-month semesters and one one-month semester. Mini-semesters can be arranged between semesters or after semesters.
The ten-month semester study is a formal professional course study period. Everyone needs to complete their professional studies at school, and students will be arranged for learning exchanges or internships outside the school in the primary semester.
