Excerpt from Examinations as Educational Means With Special Reference to the Method of Self-Examination The university of California devotes about two and one-half weeks each semester. Or five seeks of the collegiate year to the matter of final examinations. Besides this, in the majority of courses, there are at least two mid-teams each semester, or four mid-terms a year. In the case of a two unit course. This means another two weeks devoted to the subject of examinations. It would thus appear that six or seven weeks of the thirty-six weeks of the standard college year are consumed by the faculty and students in giving and taking examinations. This means that from sixteen to twenty per cent. Of the total time in college is given over to examinations. Put in still another way, about six or seven months of a standard college course of thirty-six months, are set aside for examinational purposes. Or again, if the examination program were dis tributed more evenly throughout the year, instead of being principally massed into two solid blocks of time, one at the end of each semester, we should have every fifth or sixth day taken up With the effort of test ing the effectiveness of college teaching.
