Grad Students of U of T
Name: Emma Helfand-Green
Program of Study: Master of Public Policy
What made you choose your grad program at U of T? I was ready to return to my hometown of Toronto after four years away and U of T had an amazing reputation, especially for the MPP program.
Favourite Study Spot: Easy – big tables by the windows in the Gerstein Centre. I always seem to be able to find a spot!
What’s on the top of your TO-DO list this week? Making a plan for how/when I’m going to complete the three assignments I have due next week. Also, finalizing details for an upcoming workshop at the Family Care Office where I work.
What’s your favourite way to take a break from school work? My favourite study break activities include; hanging out with my cat, listening to some new music on 8tracks, walking my dog or scrolling through endless twitter feeds.
What did you have for breakfast this morning? Special K Cereal with Red Berries. It’s my go-to breakfast choice, unless I’m running late in which case I usually grab something on the way.
What’s your best study trick? My tried and true best study trick is explaining difficult concepts to my parents. Unless I can explain what I’m studying to my Mom or Dad clearly and accurately, I know I haven’t fully understood the concept. (Note: Mom or Dad can easily be substituted by friend, partner or even cat!)
