I understand that Jilin University, China Ocean University, Tsinghua University and other universities are all three semesters. As a simple analysis of Jida.

1, first of all, the total length of holidays will not be shortened. The short term is one and a half months, that is, six teaching weeks, and the long term is generally sixteen teaching weeks, so the total study time is about 38 weeks. It can be seen that the length of holidays is not short.

2. Set the purpose of the short term. First of all, for engineering colleges, the small semester is a good opportunity for internship. Many people in our school wear tattered military uniforms for metalworking practice in the primary semester. Secondly, for a liberal arts college like ours, the small semester is a good opportunity to add credits. Our elective courses are usually finished after ten times. If all elective courses are put in a long semester, it will not only waste resources, but also have no classes for the next six weeks; It will also cause crowded courses, and classroom resources will become limiting factors. For this elective course with credits, it is placed in the primary semester twice a week. Alas, it only takes five weeks to complete the course. Why not?

3. Personally, I think that for us, the primary school term is a disguised extension of the holiday. During this time, those who have something to do and can't live without the object can linger for a while, and the course is not tight, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for buffering.
