Semester-End Quizzes Banned

Faculty members also voted
to ban "quizzes, make-up
quizzes and final
examinations" on the last class
meeting day of each semester
and to require that "all class
and laboratory exercises be due
before these days."

The 'early start' calendar,
adopted last spring and
effective in 1973-74, includes
fewer days than the present
calendar and no reading days.
Under the adopted proposal,
instructors may treat the last
days of the semester as normal
class time or as review sessions.
