posted by Jason Stilgebouer

  Finals have arrived at SFUAD, and students are rushing to complete projects and study for their big exams. Darnell Thomas, a senior self design major, was studying for his Mathematics for Professionals class in the Fogelson Library where he gets the most peace and quiet. “I have five finals next week; it may look like I am not stressed out, but deep down I am very stressed out about them,” he...

Advice for Finals

posted by Ryan Sindon

Finals week is usually the most stressful time of year for most college students. There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel, as students will receive a four-week break at the end of the week.

Pizza has to help too, yeah?” Be aware of your testing area. According to Hadley, “Studying in an environment that resembles your testing area will make you more successful. For example, you will do better if you study in a...
