There are colleges and universities that offer courses that are shorter in length. Typically, a regular semester course can run 14 to 16 weeks. However, there are some courses that are offer that rune anywhere between three and eight weeks in duration.
The short form of "semester" is "sem."
Each course is one semester. Although some are in a sequence. For example, business law I (first semester), business law II second semester).
It sounds like they are asking you to choose which semester you would like to take the class (course) in.
The semester-level structure of a course should reflect the values and education of the students. The students should be challenged throughout the course.
Negative aspects of semester system, * Students are confined only to their course contents. * They do not get time for extensive studies. As a result of this, the knowledge of students becomes restricted, and is limited to a very narrow perspective. * Another fault is the course is is much short. One is shocked to see that the course for a subject in university is much shorter than the course of a subject at secondary level. * In the last, semester system is comparatively expensive. Some students cannot bear its expenses and are unable to continue their studies at university level.
The typical course load for freshman in college is twelve units per semester. At three units per course that comes out to four courses per semester. Of course there could be a four unit course and then the course load would be thirteen.
A typical college course is three credit hours. This wold include the majority of college courses at the majority American colleges and universities. However, credits can range from half a credit up to five credits or more, depending on which college you are attending and the length and complexity of each course.
A semester hour typically means the amount of class contact hours in one week. For example, a three credit course would meet three hours per week through the length of the semester. A four credit course would meet four hours per week through the length of the semester.

No, it's considered a mini-mester, which is about half as long a regular semester. The instructors just cram all the information into about 8 weeks instead of 14.
