[Phys-L] Re: Quarters vs Semesters

This is my point, but I consider it a problem, the year of physics is
120 lectures for you in the quarter system, in a semester system it is
82 lectures (at my institution)

(but we have slightly shorter semesters than many, the number may be
more typically 86-90 for the semester system).

So they are not identical. You can not cover as much material in the
semester system, as measured by one hour (50 min) lecture periods in the
year long introductory physics course.
