Midterms

Shouldn't this mean a single test at the middle of the semester?  Chem 455, for example, has it right.  I will only have two tests in this class: a midterm, and a final (which means test at the end of a semester).  If we're going to have so many tests in a semester (like 5 or 6!) shouldn't we have cooler names for these tests.  Like, a quarterterms or something.  Then I would at least be less confused as to why I'm in the testing center three weeks after the beginning of the semester.  And why I'm going to the testing center a couple of weeks before the end of the semester.
