What are quarters/trimesters/semesters?
Some U.S. schools want to know how long my courses lasted. In the UK we typically have two periods per year when you learn courses 1 from September-December one from January to April. May and June are used for exams. Every course I took lasted 1 or 2 of these periods. Is 1 of these periods a quarter, trimester or semester?

I get the feeling the former response was more of a criticism of your effort rather than a failure to overcome any sort of cultural barrier. |

[/ QUOTE ] Well over here we have 3 terms, but only 3 of them are for learning. The 3rd is also truncated. So is that a trimester or a semester? |

Re: What are quarters/trimesters/semesters?
No, up until college you have three terms of learning.
At college and university you have two semesters of learning followed by an examination period. You can't really apply terms from one to the other. |
