How does reading week work?
It typically lands near midterm season, in October or November in the fall and February in the winter. The idea is time to catch up on readings, study and rest.
Dates and length vary by school, and some programs still schedule tests or assignments right after it. Check your academic calendar and syllabi.
How Dash helps with reading week
Dash knows what's due right after the break because it has your deadlines. Ask for a study plan and it builds one around your real midterm dates, with practice quizzes for the courses that need it, so the week doesn't vanish.
Questions students ask
Do you have assignments during reading week?
Sometimes. Classes stop, but deadlines can still fall during or just after it. Check each syllabus.
Is reading week the same as spring break?
Similar idea. In Canada the winter-term reading week is often in February, while US spring break is usually in March.
