Midterm Season at Tulane University
The month of October brings mid-semester exams, papers, and projects, causing anxiety for many Tulane University students. Despite their equal importance to finals, midterm season lacks the same consideration as finals season on campus.
Notably, Tulane provides a two-day "reading period" before finals, but no such grace is given during midterm season, which can be just as demanding.
Midterms are weighted just as heavily as finals.
This disparity can lead to burnout, as students are not given the same opportunity to prepare and balance their workload during midterms.
