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 reading week and 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, because they’re both in week 9.
