argument for a quarter system

So it never fails, this time of the semester, right after midterms, I just check out mentally. It’s really not by any choice of my own, at least not consciously. I just find it find to study, or really focus on anything school related. I just get mentally tired of thinking about the subject no matter how much I enjoy the class.
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve realized that this is a great reason for having a quarter system instead of the semester system we have. By having shorter periods it allows you absorb more learning because you are exposed to shorter durations of things with more diversity. In the end you will have equivalent amounts of learning but it seems it’s more probable that you will have retained more of it.
I haven’t seen the research on this, but I’m pretty it’s out there somewhere. I’d love to hear from someone, if they know anything about this subject.

This would be a great excuse, “sorry Professor, I would of totally done better but this semester system got me again, what am I to do?”
