Neither - the last day of classes.

Or more generally, sometime within the last month and you need to ask to find out when exactly.

I've never heard it mean anytime within the exam period, certainly not the last day of exams (PS no prof would EVER voluntarily go for the last day - it gives almost no time for marking)

It's also unlikely they'll even be around on the last day of exams.

This is pretty much the standard requirement for my experiences at Stanford.

Ditto.

Yes, I would assume that it meant on the last day of regular class, not during exams. But of those two choices, the exam for that class sounds more correct -- the professor wants to mark everything and go home for the holidays.

From a teacher, I'd assume it's by the last class before exams.

Only one vote counts: your professor's. ;p

It seems vague enough to ask about, but in absence of other information I'd assume (with low confidence) it meant the day of the last class.

"End of term" generally means
a) the last class of the semester in that course
b) some nearby date to be announced by the professor
c) before the final exam in that class
d) the last day of classes in general (before exams)
e) the day before registration day for next semester
f) whenever the hell the professor wants it to mean


demand clarification of deadline if it matters to you.

I'd ask. I'm uptight like that.
