I do not need the agenda to tell me every day what semester I am in.
When I need this information in the agenda view, I just press "[" to
show inactive timestamps, too.

Examens are appointments, which go into the "general information"
subtree for the semester, get a TODO keyword and a DEADLINE to remind me
to start the preparations early enough.

I mostly avoid this problem as a side effect of having a subtree for
each week; for weeks in which there are no classes, there will simply be
no subtree present.
Because I need a subtree for each occurence of a lecture anyway (to link
to related information and store (links to) my class notes), that does
not create additional overhead for me.
I face this problem with weekly exercises; because I usually do not take
notes then, there are no separate subtrees for these. (If I do take
notes, they go to the appropriate Homework subtree.) I do not use
org-mode to remind me of these at all, as I have my schedule committed
to memory by now. (I do have the schedule in an .org-file for reference.)
