Favor Exams
Tlie students seemed to favor
the two-week exam schedule be
cause of tlie following reasons.
1) tlie two week exam period is
profitable for the good student wht
uses this time wisely for review
2) the two week exam period
usually spreads exams out so more
attention can be given to each
course
3) a recuperation period which is
necessary in a concentrated ight

ranted in the two week exam
schedule
