Finals are around the corner, but so are all of those end of term project reports to complete as well. This is the time of year where stress can completely take over, but it is important to keep calm and focus. Sounds easier than done? I feel your pain, but the best advice I can relay is to find the study method that works best for you. Another thing to keep in mind while studying is to keep a regular schedule which includes important things like sleeping, eating, and bathing. This regularity will help your body feel its best. A healthy body will help your brain be good to go for the studying marathon I know you all have planned.
As the term wraps up, that means surveys! By now most of the course critiques should be complete; thank you for completing these surveys honestly. These critiques really do matter to the professors, departments, and faculty and are taken into account for future offerings of the courses that you are currently taking. The other survey is the debt load surveys, these surveys are used to estimate the current debt load on students across the faculty based on program and year. The report of these result can be found just to the right of this article. Thank you to all the academic reps who submitted their classes surveys and apologies for all the emails.
That’s it, that all folks, this is my last article as your Vice-President Education. If you are confused as to why that is, let me give you a bit of background. Due to their 8 month co-op schedule, students in Nanotech engineering can’t run for 8 month executive position without a partner, which is where I came in. I became VP-Ed for Winter 2013 and Orysia Soroka will be VP-Ed for Fall 2013. Who is this Orysia character you ask? Great question. She is a vibrant, charismatic, and humorous individual, with often interesting twitter hashtags. All in all, she is an awesome person and I’m excited for everyone to meet her as the incoming VP-Ed. It was a great experience representing engineering students on education issues and thank you everyone for your support during my term.
With that I bid farewell to all of you but I will leave you will one last fun fact: did you know that a group of pugs is called a grumble? Too cute right?!
Keep Smiling,
Megan
