No, repeating items go on forever (as far as I know)
I normally deal with this with a second deadline item to kill the task.
Something like this:
,----[ university.org ]
| * Classes
| ** TODO CSC243 Practical
| SCHEDULED: <2008-10-28 Tue 11:00-13:00 +1w>
| *** TODO Task ends
| DEADLINE: <2008-12-16 Tue -7d>
|
`----
and then I just remove the +1w from the CSC243 task and mark it and the
deadline task as done.
I would also recommend putting these tasks in a separate org file and
just adding it to your agenda with C-c [. Then it's easy to drop it
from the agenda in the future with C-c ].
HTH,
Bernt
