Some professors—such as Henri Zerner, who teaches History of Art and Architecture 10—say that the new semester schedule does not allow enough time to cover course material from previous semesters.
R.J. Jenkins, the head teaching fellow for the popular “Lit and Sex” course English 154, says the loss of holiday break before exams was “really felt” by upperclassmen accustomed to the old schedule.
Under the old schedule, many final projects and papers were due after the long winter break, and students only had a week of intersession between semesters. And impending exams and deadlines loomed during winter break.
While administrators concede the new schedule caused added stress this past semester, it is unclear whether there will be structural tweaks for the next academic year.
Harris says it is “premature” to discuss any changes to the academic schedule before survey results have been reviewed, though that and other options are “being looked at.”
