Pretty sure my alma mater switched to trimesters the year after I graduated. Seems bizarre. They pack the class in tigher so you can spend more time focusing on a few things at a time or something.

i didn't even know what a trimester was. i have to rethink every sentence with semester in it.

e: nvm im good "The word 'semester' is sometimes used as a synonym for a 'term', as in a 'summer semester'."

We used to do quarters, but I assume it's the same thing because they counted Summer as it's own quarter. It was amazing and I would kill to be on that instead of semesters.

It says the next "spell." Nowhere does it say minion....or even card. How does this relate to MtG terminology? I can't remember any that would o.o

Everything in MtG is a spell basically, 'cept maybe terrain I'm not sure. I still internally refer to minions as "creatures" and I don't even play MtG (but that may be because minion is already linked to LoL for me).

In MTG, every nonland card is a spell.

^ Yeah it can be deceiving with how similar the games are. It makes sense they wanted to create some terminology that was more unique but it can lead to some bad decisions lol

Also HS related, for the amount of times you're like why can't I draw my out, I just had it where I drew lethal. I had 11dmg on the board and fireball, which meant I was 1 dmg shy of lethal. Draw pyro. ggwp shaman. I cone of cold->blizzard->flamestrike->finally have board control. I'm a dirty mage this run

Oh that's right... it's quarters but one of them is just the summer classes lol.

i think it would still be called a trimester system because the "academic year" is three terms.

It's a quarter system because in quarter system schools there is a full summer term that students can elect to take. It's not a set "vacation term" like a winter/summer term in a semester school, it's just most people choose to take the summer quarter off. See: Stanford, for example.

I don't know of any trimester colleges, but I'm sure there are some out there?

Correct for my high school - there was no internal summer class system, so we were set up as a 3 term school year.

The whole thing doesn't make much sense since a normal two semester system would really be a trimester if there were summer classes... Education I tell ya.

Huh I didn't realize that as I always called them creatures and spells. Can show how competitively i played MtG lol.
With HS it even says on the bottom of the card if it is a "minion" or "spell" though :p

Hmm all my schools were 2 semesters. Normally we would have 4 tests though and so after each testing week a "quarter" would end and you'd get 1 of your 4 report cards. Don't think we ever called it a trimester even though they all offered summer classes (although generally only if you failed, not to get ahead.) Public schools, yo.
