Eastern used to offer students a fall break, similar to that offered by other universities, with the main purpose of breaking up continu- ous weeks of class. Also this semester students and teachers will only have one week of classes after Thanksgiving break to prepare for finals, which is not the sufficient amount of time to review and prepare. Likewise, it is an inconvenience for teachers who have to grade semester projects and finals on Friday and turn grades in by Saturday for the fall semester, leaving them not even 24 hours to do the job. The last week of classes is also stressful for students who often have several projects due.
