[LM_NET] TARGET: Midterm/final exam schedule

[Amy Short <ashort@WESTFORD.MEC.EDU>]

Hi all -

I am on a committee at my high school that is looking into the scheduling of
midterm and final exams.  Currently we schedule those exams based on
periods.  We are looking to move to an exam schedule that is based on
subjects (all math at the same time, all history at the same time, etc.).  I
am looking for answers to the following questions:

Does your school currently schedule midterms or finals based on subject
     area?
What does the schedule look like?
What are the logistics of running this schedule?
What issues come up with this schedule? (For example, how do you deal with
     students who double-up in math or other subjects? Do departments rotate
     through the schedule so the same department doesn't have to rush
     grading each year?)


Thank you -
