What are the benefits of semester system being introduced in colleges? Tap Andas?
It is just that you finish a course in just about 5 months. It is a kind of concentrated learning. Otherwise the course used to be spread over a full year and you try hard at remembering what was taught in the first month. The second benefit is that some other course for which a pre-requisite course is required can be taught in the next semester if the pre-requisite course is taught in the previous semester. In non semester type, you have to wait for a full year to learn such a course. Semester system also helps the teachers because they have to teach just one or two subjects in a semester rather than 4 or 5 for a full year. They need to concentrate on lesser number of subjects so that their teaching can be better. In semester system, perhaps the students have lesser time to enjoy.
