SFU reading break happens if Easter long weekend does not land within normal class time during the semester.

I heard it's different because a long time ago when the unions representing schools in BC were negotiating a new deal, workers at SFU and Langara got fed up and ended up each negotiating their own deal respectively. Pretty much every school in Canada has a reading break at the same time.

Yeah reading break is great, our two days worth. Even better when you already don't have classes on those days. :p That said, last year I believe they skipped the breaks due to... err "snow days"?

the whole 2 days are starting to look a lot better. lectures and tutorials for my english class are cancelled

You can't really compare SFU/UBC because of the two different systems. One is a Tri-mester, while the other one is a more traditional semester system. Waterloo, UTM, follow the same trimester system as SFU and they usually skip their "midterm" breaks too.

yes sfu starts later than ubc too...sides the "break" usually means more studying

jimzilla 01-13-2009 09:31 PM
