Tonight, I attended a workshop that was geared towards preparing students for their upcoming final exams. There were three professors from three different departments. One from the Math and Computer department, one from the Biology department, and then one from the English department. All of the professor s gave insight on not only how they construct their finals but also shared their own experiences with final exams with us. They provided us with some helpful tips as well. The most important things that they told us was to get a study group together and plan out a schedule for studying. Cramming all of your studying into one day will not work and pulling an all nighter is a very bad idea. Find a quiet place to study, where you won't get distracted. Staying focued is the key to studying. Walk into the exam with a positive attitude and have a little bit of confidence in yourself. One thing at all of the professors really stressed upon was talking to you professors. If you have a question, just go ask them. Don't be afraid to go and ask a question. Most college students are hesitant about meeting with their professors to ask a question. By the end of the workshop, they wanted you to feel a little bit more comfortable about studying for final exams and also about going to talk to your own professors. If you don't feel comfortable at all with talking to your own professor, then you can get in touch with them and ask them. They were all very nice and helpful. I only have one final this semester and I will use their tips to help me study. If i have a question, I will probably try to get in touch with one of them because my professor is not very helpful.
