Academic quarter (class timing)
text:
An academic quarter is the quarter-hour discrepancy between the defined start time for a lecture or lesson and the actual starting time, at some universities in most European countries. The quarter system started in Sweden and dates back to the days when the ringing of the church bell was the general method of time keeping. When the bell rang on the hour, students had 15 minutes to get to the lecture. Thus a lecture with a defined start time of 10:00 would start at 10:15. Academic quarter exists
