[quote=Anonymous]I went many years ago to GaTech when it had quarter system (before Georgia board forced GaTech to switch to semesters). I would not survive with semesters... In my opinion quarter is much better. You do not memorize and keep in your brain material for all classes for whole semester. The key (specially with slow processing) to take as few classes as possible. My golden rule was not more than 2 very challenging classes (not more than 2 Math in one quarter for example) I also periodically was adding extra pass/fail or easy classes to stay full time and not to lose scholarships (I had a few). That strategy worked. Had quite high GPA (above 3.7) in challenging major. I wish my kids would go to college with quarter system. But almost all places have semesters now.[/quote]
