School Segments 
Repeated cacophonic sound? HARDC
West of Brooklyn MAE
Rather, once ANCHOR [I thought archaic for the word
rather]
Theme: phrases that can be read as school segments of specialized degrees
Part of a surgery degree? CUTTINGCLASS
Part of a physics degree? COLLISIONCOURSE [atoms collide]
The other theme terms ---
MODULE, UNIT, and PERIOD --- are primarily parts of a CLASS or COURSE and only secondarily of a degree. So I sense a lack of parallelism. Or is this too much a “nitpick?”
RATING:
Three grins = Excellent: Loved it; Two grins = Good: Enjoyed it; One grin = Satisfactory: A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Unsatisfying: No fun
