Trimesters?

<p>Because Drexel is in trimesters does the professors tend to teach faster than schools that are in semesters? Is trimesters harder than semesters?</p>

<p>My friends and I affectionately refer to this type of term as a “ten week tussle”. The ten-week term is a satanic hell demon. HOWEVER, I love the ability to take so many different courses in a year. This does, however, make the learning of material a bit difficult. Additionally, you may find that the testing schedule is a lot more rigorous than other schools. With all of this being said, however, I will have taken at least 34 entirely different courses by the end of spring term and I think that’s really awesome. It does have definite pros and cons.</p>

<p>On the same note, because there are three terms, there is generally less content in each class than it’s equivalent at a semester school. For example, Chem 101 at a semester school might be equivalent to (most of) Chem 101 and 102 at Drexel.</p>

<p>I am a little confused about how the tri-mester system works. suppose someone wanted to transfer into or out of Drexel from or to a regular semester school, how would the credits transfer. I know this is possible but I just don’t get it. Can anyone fill me in. Thanx!</p>
