Description
At Northwestern, the term “midterm” is commonly used to refer to any test or exam that isn’t a final exam. In this usage, students can have multiple midterms for the same class in a given quarter, and the midterm can take place in any week outside of finals week.
Usage
Most students at Northwestern use “midterm” in this sense, though there are a few who hold to its outside meaning as a test taken in the middle of a term. Many professors, especially in the natural sciences, also use the term in this sense, even marking “Midterm” on the class syllabus.
Example Sentence
I have a final and a midterm in the same week this quarter.
