<p>November 19, Saturday

<p>November 28, Monday
Classes resume, 8.20 a.m.</p>

<p>December 2, Friday
Classes end, 5.20 p.m.
Reading period begins</p>

<p>So, you have a recess, come back for 1 week, then start the reading period?</p>

<p>What would that week of classes be used for? Surely everyone is already focussed on exams?</p>

<p>Yes, you go back for one week then reading week then exams. They are used for final projects to be finished (you get the break to do that) and then you move to exams and have final prep for exams…</p>

<p>And for more lectures / material.</p>
