what does semester means and what does module means what non-classroom facilities does uni offers?

Answer 1

Universities these days mostly run semesters, rather than terms. There are usually two semesters in the old academic year (Oct-June) and then maybe a summer semester for vocational or overseas students.

Courses are also now often divided into modules. Each module will be on a different topic or aspect of your course - for example, when I studied midwifery, I had a module on sociology and childbearing, a module of nutrition, modules on anatomy and physiology related to childbearing, etc. You study several different modules at the same time. Each one is given a value in terms of academic credits, and you need to study a certain total of credits per year to move up a level (level 1 = first year undergraduate, level 2= second year, level 3 = third year) and to graduate.

On any given course there are core modules you must study, but you may get to choose optional modules within your degree subject, or sometimes even elective modules from a completely different subject.

I'm not sure what you mean in the part about non-classroom facilities - did you mean to support your learning, or on the social side of things?

Answer 2

Semester is the same as a term. The academic year is split into two semesters.

They usually run from September to December and from January until about June time.

Whatever subject you choose to study i.e. English will be broken down into lots of modules.

These are just parts of the subject to study more closely i.e. adaptation of Shakespeare to film.

You will do a set number of modules each semester and be tested on them.

The following semester you will pick different modules and will again be tested on them.

Usually the exams come at the end of each semester.

Uni rocks. I totally recommend going. Even if just for the social side and life experience. If I could spend the rest of my days stuck in a groundhog day type scenario I would choose the three years I spent at uni.

Answer 3

a semester is a term, a bit like school but there are only a couple. modules are the different components you study within the course( i study media, so modules include photography, journalism, radio) etc. different uni's offer different facilities, if your deciding which one to apply for, look on their websites and contact them to find out. Best thing to do is go to the open days, it will open your eyes up to what different options you have and what place will accomodate your individual needs.

Answer 4

a semester is like a school term but there are only two, i.e. semester 1 until january and then sem2 until about june

a module is like a topic that you do and non-classroom facilites depends on what uni u go to.. there are lots of societies you can join...

Why is a finite life bad? Here is the converse. Why is a finite life good? Think about it. You spend 20 to 30 years getting skills to do something that you enjoy. You have about another 30 years to do that, then your mind and body begins to fail. You can't snowboard any more because you might break a hip, and that hip replace didn't come with a snowboarding warranty. Now, if you have good genes, the next 20 to 30 years, you lose your eyesight, the floor is painful if you fall, and things down on it are hard to reach. Your school mates are remembered as you read of their deaths in the obits, and you wonder who will read yours. Why is an infinite life good? You know that skill you developed over the 30 years? You have become a master craftsman at it, and people look forward to getting you to work for them. You decide that you want to try another skill, say singing and dancing. Even if you are 1250 years old, your body is up to the task, and because of the resurrection, you can learn to dance from Gene Kelly, or if you prefer the style of Fred Astaire, you can have them tutor you. And if your love for music is toward the opera, the Great Crusoe could be your instructor. Your wife is forever young and exciting, your smile had no teeth missing, and that head of hair has no "implants" to fill in the bald spots. You decide to visit all the places of the world that has attracted your attention. So, for 4000 years you travel the Pacific, visiting each of the islands. When you get to Asia, you wander for 10 or 20 thousand years, build homes and develop friendships with 1000s of people. Which life sounds like the one you prefer? Added note: My personal plans? Well, geologists say the area I live will one day split, from Colorado to the Gulf of Mexico, because of the Rio Grand Rift. They say that it "should take about 250 million years". So, living an infinite life, as I have an expectation from the scriptures, I may one day have beach front property. Just a matter of patience... Either that, or I will have a good laugh at the so-called experts.
