The schedule of instruction, holidays, and key dates for a specific academic year at the California Maritime Academy provides a structured framework for cadets and faculty. This structured timetable typically outlines the fall, spring, and summer semesters, including periods for registration, classes, examinations, and breaks. An example would be the designated start and end dates for the fall semester, including Thanksgiving recess and the final exam period.
A well-defined yearly plan is essential for successful academic progression. It allows cadets to plan their studies, extracurricular activities, and personal commitments effectively. Faculty can align their teaching schedules and course materials accordingly. Historical context reveals that such structured schedules have evolved with the changing needs of the maritime industry and the academys curriculum, adapting to technological advancements and pedagogical innovations.
