"From now on, every 2 weeks, we will have a quiz.
And your grades will be summed up and used as your midterm scores.
Isn't that great?"
(:T^T:)
Everyone smiled bitterly with invisible tears in their eyes.
Why did they feel like his majesty was too intentional?
Why give them hope only to crush it later on?
Those that took up to 7 courses for the semester were in pain.
They now regretted it.
Funny enough, on the last day for dropping courses, many of them didn't bother to do so as their pride got the best out of them.
No, it wasn't entirely pride.
It was just that back in their empires, they did a lot of things, running everywhere.
So many felt like they could handle whatever came their way.
Plus, many took in a lot of courses now, so that next semester, they should be somewhat free.
Looking at the printing curriculum given to them on orientation day, they knew how many courses they had to take each year.
.
Additionally, they could tell which were co-requisites and prerequisites.
They had everything planned out.
Why?
Because they wanted to sign up for work-study next semester.
So they wanted a somewhat free school time for them.
One should know that at present, secretaries amd some of the lecturers had already begun jotting and noting everything down from the weather record books brought in by everyone.
A single city or town could produce up to 3 lenders a month.
Why?
Because they wrote down every slight weather change that took place each 10 minutes
How the clouds & stars looked like, and even how the wind felt like through the primitive wind vane movements... everything was recorded.
Even landslides, scorching heat and so on were recorded based on particular unique stones etc.
Anyway, for this semester, the secretaries and lecturers did their best to extrapolate the data and note them down correctly.
And from next semester, after the students had basic knowledge of weather, then, they would begin charting, graphing and estimating certain things.
Of course, by the end of the semester, these secretaries might've only gone through at most 6 months from the past.
With every city and town in the various empires bringing records and books, they couldn't do more than that.
To make matters worse, every year had over 40 books.
The year 800, the year 900, the year 1010… all had over 40 book records.
Of course, the students only brought at most 6 months of records from a single year when they came to Baymard.
They randomly picked out a year and brought in 6 months of work for that period.
.
Anyway, once the students have acquired more knowledge, they'll start graphing everything, noting the constant factors they saw, and so on.
Take for example, wind patterns.
Because of the Rotation of the world and certain factors, the wind directions typically always fell in the same estimated range.
Be it the prevailing winds from the northern hemisphere and so on... All these were essential for flying planes.
They needed to predict and extrapolate all they knew from each region to better understand the weather.
The academy even had its own hot air balloons to go up in the air for taking temperatures and running some tests while in the Academy.
And next semester... No! It was even earlier than next semester.
This December, the students would team up with the lectures and work nonstop out on the field.
And when the next semester began in January, they would work part-time, earn their salaries while studying.
So many felt like oiling more courses for this semester and keeping the next semester very open.
But who would've known that their plan would backfire?
There was just so much to do and so much to study for the uping midterms, as well as assignments.
So they felt momentarily overwhelmed.
And now, Landon was rubbing it in by giving them bi-weekly quizzes.
Wasn't this too much?
Of course, they only felt like this because of the midterms.
After that, they would eventually relax again.
But at this money, they felt like beating their former selves for taking so many credits.
Dammit!

Landon wrote the class code and name on the board before facing everyone again.
[ATM A 106: Climate & Its changes]
"In this class, you will address me as Professor Landon or Prof. for short.
Now, before we talk about Climate, who can tell me what weather is?"
Instantly, several people raised their hands while others started flipping pages of some other books.
"Hmmm."
"Weather is the condition of the air or the atmosphere on our planet."
"Great answer. What's your name?"
"Benjamin Neto, Prof."
"Benjamin! Good answer!
"Weather is an atmospheric situation which occurs in a given moment in a specific place.
So when you look outside the window at your home, what's the weather like?
Is it cold, or is it hot? Is it rainy or snowy? Cloudy or windy?
All this is what we call observing the weather.
But, in contrast, how would you all describe Climate?"
Climate?
Many furrowed their brows deep in thought as they tried their best to remember what exactly climate was.
During one of their other courses called
