To be honest, I don't think it really made much difference at all. I can see some advantages each way. Personally, I prefer the semester system, because I like having the break in classes over Christmas rather than over Thanksgiving as it would be otherwise.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573106204390814039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212234230338648875.post-84612861276032987562006-12-06T22:21:00.000-08:002006-12-06T22:21:00.000-08:00Your right, why would BYU make a schedule which is...Your right, why would BYU make a schedule which is best for the students? Women's conferences, education week and EFY are more important than the students.

Quantum and E&M would be 3 or four classes each. It might be tricky.<br /><br />It would also throw off the schedule of education week and women's conference (not to mention EFY) but that's no big loss.Quantumleap42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16711817313734546305noreply@blogger.com
