In a description of how examination protocols at a German university have adapted to pandemic-related requirements:
"Das System konnte ohne größere Umstellungen für formative, untersemestrige Prüfungen in Online-Fernprüfungen angewendet werden."
Would this just be "examinations within the semester" (as opposed to end-of-term exams)? Or is there a specific term in English? (for a US target audience)

midterm exams
Aus didaktischen Aspekten (kontinuierliche Beschäftigung mit den Lerninhalten, Verteilung der Prüfungslast über das Semester) sehr geschätzt wird die Möglichkeit, dass sich die Endnote für ein Modul nicht nur aus einer „großen“ Abschlussprüfung zu diesem Modul generiert, sondern auch die Möglichkeit besteht, etwa in Form von sog. mid-terms bereits untersemestrig Leistungsnachweisbestandteile zu erbringen. https://www.tuhh.de/t3resources/tuhh/download/universitaet/j...

A midterm exam, is an exam given near the middle of an academic grading term, or near the middle of any given quarter or semester. Midterm exams are a type of formative assessment, to measure students' grasp of the course materials and identify areas that need work. Midterm exams may also be used for summative assessment to contribute to final grades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midterm_exam
