The semester system is merely a time device whereby the school year is divided into two equal parts, each five months in length. A student completes one half of his total year's courses during the first semester (the first five months). In the second semester he then studies the remaining courses. The content of each course remains basic - ally the same, and has the same time alloca- tion in total, but is compressed into a five month period. At the present time Lake Super- ior High School operates on a ten period day, each 36 minutes in length. A student earns one credit if he successfully completes a course involving one period a day for the en- tire year. On the full credit semestered system there will be 5 or 6 periods a day each 60 or 65 minutes in length. A student earns a credit if he successfully completes a course involving one period a day for 5 months. One of the advantages of the system is that a student is working on only three or four courses at a time. This fact and the shorter term provide incentive for more continuous effort and achievement. Acceleration and en- richment programs are also more feasible under the semestered system. A student who is not doing well in his pro- gram has the opportunity to change his program continued page I4
