Midterm Season at Tulane University
The month of October is marked by the looming presence of mid-semester exams, papers, and projects, triggering anxiety for many Tulane University students.
Despite their equal importance to finals, midterm season is not given the same consideration as finals season on Tulane's campus.
At the end of each semester, Tulane grants a two-day "reading period" between the end of classes and the start of finals, but no such accommodation is made for midterms.
Midterms are weighted just as heavily as finals, yet midterm season is not given the same grace as finals season.
This disparity can lead to burnout among students, as they are not given the same opportunity to prepare for midterms as they are for finals.
Author's summary: Tulane's midterm policy prioritizes burnout over balance.
