@ChampandGirlie how do you get them to stretch the semester over the weekend?
Thanks for asking. I start the semester from Wednesday or onwards during the week. I've done that on different days of the week but concluded that I like Wednesday or later best. If you do that, then they get a weekend in the middle. They will have final exams on Monday and Tuesday if they start on Wednesday.
Over the weekend, I have them do term papers, presentations and catch up all homework. There's still usually enough time for them to have a few breaks such as going to a bar or dinner out with parents or a date. Occasionally, they've gotten married over the weekend but I make them wait for the honeymoon until after graduation. I usually let new grads go on a trip or else have a relaxing staycation.
