Students explore US-Argentina difference by Miriam Garcia Cauldron staff During finals week, most students rush to the library to copy notes and group with classmates to study in preparation for a week of long exams. However, if you were a student at St. Thomas Aquinas University in Mar del Plata, Argentina, the stress level would be significantly lower.
Students there can take their finals up to a year after their courses are over.
Marcos Giannotti, a graduate of the Fraternidad de Agrupacion Santo Tomas de Aquino, is enrolled in his first semester at UST s master s in international business program. Valentine noted that there are many differences between the two schools. Professors schedule final exams when the course is over, but students usually take them several weeks or months later. I was the only one taking finals on the original scheduled time, Valentine said. Giannotti followed Valentine s example.
