SI - Supplemental Instruction

SI Sessions provides small-group study/review sessions for sections of courses with difficult content or high levels of failure and withdrawal rates. The sessions supplement, but do not replace, out-of-class preparation for the course. See the Spring 2015 Schedule to see if an SI Session is offered for your course!

Time to Start Studying!

Finals will be here before you know it! Final exams will be held May 6-9. Have you started studying yet? Check out these apps to get you started!

Cold Turkey is a computer software that can help you stay focused while studying.  Cold Turkey will temporarily block you from social media sites, addicting websites, games and even programs! Imagine how fast you could do your work without all those distractions! Other apps like these include SelfControl, and LeechBlock.

Flashcards+ will help you learn and study new information. When you download this app on iTunes, you gain access to tens of millions of pre-made Flashcard sets all for free! Other apps like these include Study Blue, Chegg Flashcards, and Evernote Peek.

CrashCourse, a YouTube Channel, has videos for six courses: US History, Chemistry, World History, Biology, Literature, and Ecology. These types of YouTube Channels can help you study difficult topics for your next test!

AHHH FINALS!

We’re almost done with the 2012-2013 school year! You know what that means—final exams are approaching! If you’re starting to feel stressed, read our tips on how to relieve stress during finals week:

Sleep

Try to avoid pulling all-nighters at the library and get some sleep instead. When your body is sleep deprived, you are more prone to being stressed out. Make an effort to get at least seven hours of sleep a night. This will help your mind and body recharge and will help you be more productive during the day.

Eat Well

Don’t load up on junk food during the last few weeks. Bad eating habits not only affect your stress level, but they also contribute to your waistline! Eat simple and healthy means at your usual times.

Exercise

Take a relaxing walk, ride a bike, take a quick jog, or try going to the gym for 30 minutes. After sitting for two hours during your final exam period, giving your body some movement will help relieve stress and help you sleep better.

Make a List

Plan out your entire week by writing your exams and assignments down. Use index cards, a planner, or post-its. When you finish, cross it out! You will be able to see how much you need to get done, the progress you have made, and how soon summer will be here!

Relax

Find some peace and quiet and spend time alone. Get away from other stressed students and put yourself in a relaxing environment. Spend a few minutes doing absolutely nothing—turn off your phone and laptop to calm your mind while you refocus and recharge. Then do something fun! Take a short break to watch YouTube videos, play games, grab something to eat, or talk to friends.
