There are only two things that make me question my sanity: my unfaltering love for TV shows from Spain and final assessment period. Going through exam period is easily the most stressful part of being a student. It's a not-so-fun…
4 Tips for Maintaining Balance During Exam Period
It’s almost exam season! Given that I’m in my fourth year of school (and my eighth exam period ever!), I’m starting to get a hand of the end of term grind. Today, I wanted to reflect on things I do…
Three Tips for Last Minute Studying
In a dream world, we would all be studying weeks before exams, feeling fully prepared for the big day. But what if this doesn’t happen? I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit, and sometimes, you’ve just got…
My Experience With The Academic Success Center Drop-Ins!
Hey guys! In last week's post, I had vowed that I would go to the Academic Success Centre (ASC) during the drop-in hours to meet with a learning strategist to help me prepare for my upcoming midterms. A learning strategist is a trained professional who provides individualized academic support; they help you understand your learning style and guide you towards the appropriate strategies to maximize your learning efficiency. During the ASC drop-in hours, you can meet with a learning strategist for up to 30 minutes.
The ASC is located in the Koffler Student Services Centre building at 214 College St. Drop-in hours for this Fall semester are:
- Tuesdays: 10a.m. - 12p.m
- Fridays: 1:30p.m. - 3:30p.m.
(Barely) Imparting Senior Student Wisdom
Hello new semester! Don’t you just love the buzz around campus this time of year? You know, its that time in the semester where midterms haven’t taken over life yet, the weather is still amazing and you have a whole new batch of stationary to play with. Okay, that last one only applies to me and a handful of very cool people.
It’s also that time of year where I usually make tons of new goals and try extra hard to get this whole studying thing right.
Game of Groans: an exam themed parody
Winter Exam season is coming.
As April quickly approaches, the average seasoned student will be preparing themselves for the onset of the most stressful time of year: final exams.
Similar to the fabled “winter” from the popular HBO series Game of Thrones, exams are dreaded by most and require rigorous preparation of student-friendly rations like caffeine, extra sleep and good study snacks.
It’s difficult to say when exams will truly come, as it is not unlikely that the exam schedule will be released later than expected. Like the Wildlings, the masterminds behind our seasonal exam schedules are unpredictable creatures and some of us prefer to leave it up to the U of T Gods to decide whether or not we will have consecutive exams (which sadly rob even the most battle-worthy students of their mental perseverance).
