Studying for Finals


Here are some tips on how to survive our first college finals:

1.     Create a schedule for studying:
a.     Spend around 60-90 minutes a day 3 to 4 days a week taking a brain break every 20 minutes to soak in what you studied.
2.     Find a study partner or group:
a.     If you find that you study better well with someone else find someone in your class a study with them.
                                                        i.     It’s never too late to find a tutor or ask your professor for help on something you just really don’t understand.
                                                      ii.     Attend review sessions with your professor if they have them for the final exam
3.     Know your exam schedule:
a.     If you have two exams that are close together in time prioritize based on how confident you are on the material, the amount of time you have already spent studying, your grade going into the exam, and so on.
4.     Pick a good stop for studying:
a.     Pick a location that is quite and has no distractions to help focus on studying
5.     Don’t Stress
a.     Avoid all-nighters. Sleeping after studying has been proven to help you retain what you learn. Get some sleep.


Good Luck!

    I agree with these tips! I have done this all at least once and I have seen such a great improvement. Finals week can be a stressful time for us all, and if we remain calm and collected it should be easier. Another helpful tip is to keep a positive mind set. If you have an awful mind set, it is proven that you will not do as good on a test then if you would have had a positive mind set. Good luck everyone!

    These tips are definitely great for studying. Finals are one of the most stressful periods for students. I find the tip of finding a good location to study at vital to making progress while studying, to be so relevant. Many don't realize that the environment plays such a huge role in ability to focus and retain information.

    Thank you so much for these tips! I's sure a lot of people didn't have to study in high school so they don't have these skills. I'm sure you even had to do some research to know all of these things. This is one of the most stressful times for most college students and i'm sure this post really helped people.

      I did have to do some research for someone these. I made this sort of checklist in high school around my sophomore year because I could never figure out how to study. I am very glad that these tips were helpful for you and everyone else that read my post.

Rhetoric Discussion In Class

The question, "What is Rhetoric?", has been asked many times in the classroom. This topic has been controversial because of the many definitions that come with the word "rhetoric". People often say that this is based on the art of persuasion and they are correct, but there is so much more that contributes to a good definition. When sitting in the middle of the discussion, I kept questioning whether my statement was correct. There are so many ideas that could be thought of and rhetoric can even be a manipulative power that can be used towards convincing individuals their arguments are wrong. Using this in society is how humans function in daily life. With these thoughts in my mind, I began to wonder what life would be like without rhetoric.

The US using a "Ninja Bomb" in Syria?

Recently an interesting article was posted to Business insider talking about how a US drone was able to eliminate a terriost threat using a missile to strike a mini van that was traveling through Atmeh in Syria. But the most interesting part was the missile was not packed with explosives instead swords The main targets in the strike were elites in a grouped named the red bands. The mini van seemed intact besides the driver side where is was torn in shreds. This was created and used to reduce civilian causalities. In review its crazy to see how modern day weaponry is being intovative to solve problems of civilian causalities .

Are you aware of what is in your food?

Many food providers and producers do not bring full awareness to the ingredients and parts of the products that they make and sell. Many companies hide ingredients to promote it as healthier. For example, Gatorade is known as a "healthier" drink than soda. It is promoted as being a healthy alternative to drinking soda. However, Gatorade contains as much, or more, sugar as soda. Recently, schools across the country have been replacing soda in vending machines with Gatorade. Another example would be flavored drinks. Most "fruit flavored" drinks do not include the actual fruit. The taste is coming from an artificial chemical.
