A Midterm freeze would help track faculty changes and assignments for the second part of term for online courses. The start of the last 8 weeks aligns closely with the Midterm date so this would be a helpful data point to have for reference, there are several changes that occur during the parts of term that are not being captured by the Census and End of Term freezes.
