I'm off now until the 31st. Anyone else have a reading week now, or coming up? I know some schools call it different things - I've heard 'fall break' and 'study week'.
My school is technically calling it 'remedial week' now, but my profs and all the students are calling it 'reading week' since that's what it was always called before. As well, it's not really remedial for everyone - only those who aren't doing well in their classes have to worry about catching up, and I'm definitely doing well this semester. So I have nothing to worry about besides seeing my boyfriend, friends, and family for a week! biggrin

At my college we're lucky which professors give us the week off. Normal professors would make us go Monday and Tuesday, but I lucked out this term and got the whole week off. I used it to get ahead on some assignments, finals projects (finals are in 3 weeks for me) and work extra hours.

I've going to a Community College where we get National/Federal/State holidays off but are required any other days unless the professor decides to take a day off. When I went to a trade school, it was up to us (a completely weird system) whether we came or not since it was self-paced on the curriculum without lectures. At the University I went to, same at the currently Community College but was on a semester basis instead of quarter so we were given a Fall break.

Padawan Brittany No, here it doesn't depend - everywhere it's the administration that decides. But considering you say, "community college," and also, "National/Federal/State," then I understand that you're American. So obviously there are going to be differences between our system and yours. But yeah, every college here has a reading week, as does every university - just some colleges only have a reading week in one semester, and some have one in both (whereas most universities have one in both). My college only had one in the second semester until this year, when they started following this new 7-1-7 format (seven weeks of class, one week off, another seven weeks of class). I don't know if it's like that in the entire country, but it's like that in my province - we get holidays off, and reading week, but we're required to attend every day otherwise unless the prof is absent (even last year, when a snowstorm caused an accident that blocked off the road to the college, it was still mandatory to be there). That sound very interesting! I was wondering why type of system other countries were on; I never looked into it much since I decided not to study abroad. I have a friends in Quebec/Ontario/London to see what their systems are. I know in the states, it all differs depend on how the college/uni is set up (quarters/semester/self-paced/trimesters/ect.) We just recently switched to no breaks during the quarter, but 3 weeks off between finals and the starting of the next quarter. I'd rather have the break between myself lol.
