Just curious as to why U of T doesn’t have a full reading week in the fall like other universities seem to have?
———————————————
hey there,
i’m curious, too. i haven’t been able to find any official explanation of the reasoning online. this Varsity article gives a pretty good overview of the issue, though it questions why we only get a two-day break instead of a full week, as we do in the winter term.
for what it’s worth (and this is JUST ASKA’S OPINION – i’m not speaking on behalf of any university administration), it makes sense to me that in a school where full-year courses typically make the winter term heavier than the fall term, that the break in the winter would be longer than in the fall.
but hey, we’re all allowed our own opinions on the matter. freedom, and all that.
hope you enjoy your (albeit modest) break when it does come,
