Question: Any tips for Finals?
Baker LaFave, Construction Management, 3rd year, River Falls, WI. “For finals especially, I use a strategy that helps me not get burned out while I study, it’s called the Pomodoro technique. I find that I can retain more information if I give myself breaks during my study session.”
Alex Barnes, Biomedical Engineering, 3rd year, Ada, MI. “Any time I study, I listen to upbeat music to keep me energized to study. With faster pace music I get into a good groove for studying and that typically helps a lot.”
Hazel McGovern, Geological Engineering, 4th year, Grand Rapids, MI. “I would say that getting ahead in your classes if you can is a great way to make time for studying before finals. That way you don’t stress yourself out by cramming in a lot of work.”
Owen Stauffer, Biomedical Engineering, 3rd year, Ada, MI. “I’m always more focused and get more work done if I do some sort of exercise before I start studying. Before I begin to study for finals I typically go for a run to clear my mind and prepare it for a productive time in the library.”
Teagan Leonarduzzi, Exercise Science, 3rd year, Iron River, MI. “What works best for me is to start studying every day right when you find out there’s an exam coming up. Even if it’s just a little bit each day. Repetition is what makes information stick.”
