Does anyone know the exact date for reading week?

http://registrar.mcmaster.ca /regis...sessional.html

he i was just wandering are there classes during reading week. aparently some unis have no classes during reading week. is that the same for mac, and if so is that the period from nov 30 - dec 7???

There are NO classes, labs, tutorials etc. during reading week (aka 'Mid-term recess' on link jhan posted)...

one more q why is reading week feb 21-26 makes no sense to me no exams anywhere near it term 1 is done and term 2 has only half finished. is there one such thing for term 1

Yeah I don't know why its like that, just is lol. I know other university/colleges get two reading weeks but not us.

Hm, according to that link, Mac officially calls reading week the "mid-term recess"...

...all I can think of is this:

I wish.

lol i thought about that too

I thought reading week had to do with suicide prevention?

The reason that some schools have a reading week first term is due to suicide prevention...I am not sure if that is the reason for the one in February or not though.

i heard shulich has like three reading weeks.

Waterloo engineers get a special "reading week" that no one else does.

Also, everyone at York has Fridays off. Literally, everyone. I don't know a single person that attends York and doesn't have Fridays off. What is this.

The week off in February is just to give students a little bit of a break from having to write midterms and do assignments. You might still have work to do during that week but at least there's nothing due then.

No classes is pretty much the definition of reading week
Although my friend at UofOttawa had a midterm or something during reading week once...but that was some weird messed-up case.

Nov 30-Dec7 is normal class time...you just can't have any tests during this time period.

lol suicide prevention are you guys actually serious about that, i know i shouldnt be laughing at that, but thats hilarious. and schulich for who ever it was up there has 2 reading weeks my friend attends it and thats where the question originally came from cus she wanted to know when i have mine. i hate her she gets 2 and i only get one oh well and yea thats totally messed up to have a reading week on such a random date
