The countdown is on with six weeks of class to go until finals.
Recognize what you have achieved thus far. You have learned a great deal and moved closer to your goals. Reconnect with your dream and remember why you’re going to school. Now is the time to open your planner and assess and restructure your study habits, review each syllabus, and put together a strategy to finish the semester strong.
- Start now. Don’t delay, just do it!
- Reestablish strong study skills by implementing this five-step Study Cycle approach.
- Consider using weekly planners to manage your time.
- Book a study room in the library for group sessions with other studious classmates.
- Plan to visit the Writing Center prior to your writing assignment due date to allow time for revisions.
- Schedule an appointment with a study skills coach at the Academic Achievement Center, if you need help getting started.
- Check out some Discipline Specific Study Tools.
Finally, your plan should include time to relax and recover from stress. Be sure to balance all this mental rigor with physical fitness. Visit the Ping Center and take advantage of a group fitness class or take that stroll or run to start or end your day. Remember this is a marathon not a sprint.
