I hope you all had an EXCELLENT weekend, I know I sure did!
First things first, I’m still looking for suggestions or constructive comments about the first year Co-op Fundamentals course. Now is your chance for input! I will be meeting with the people responsible for designing the course shortly after the release of this article, so contact me at vpeducation.a@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca with anything you might have!
In other news, exams are soon approaching. Don’t forget to study because there’s still time! Here are Derek’s top 10 (mostly serious) study tips for the average Engineering bunny!
- Sleep enough and try to keep a normal schedule.
- Shower, change your clothes, find time to exercise and eat healthily.
- Plan to have breaks in your studying, it helps with memory retention.
- Believe in yourself! Have confidence!
- Practise.
- Practise some more.
- Practise WITHOUT problem solutions.
- Magically get a photographic memory.
- Never leave an exam question blank; part marks FTW!
- Leave a note for the markers if you see your final answer as ridiculous, it shows you are thinking!
Exams can be scary, but with preparation and a positive attitude, the exam season can be a refreshing break from the school term. Don’t panic!
