Squid are cephalopods of the order Teuthida, which comprises around 304 species. Like all other cephalopods, squid have a distinct head, bilateral symmetry, a mantle, and arms. Squid, like cuttlefish, have eight arms arranged in pairs and two, usually longer, tentacles. Squid are strong swimmers and certain species can fly for short distances out of the water.
1 The summer semester is 10 weeks long with two 5-week mini-mesters offered as well. 2  Some courses are only available in a 10-week format. 3  The classes are accelerated and cover the same amount of content as the 16-week classes.
For homeschool, I do two 17 week semesters (and summer school). Our university has two semesters of equal length: 15 weeks+ 1 week Finals. I start school one week before the university semester begins and go through the end of Finals week, maybe a few extra days. Our home fall semester begins August 12 and ends before Christmas.
