Finals week
Continued from Pagel
said.
Some students, however, are
less organized. Students studying
at the last minute are familiar to
Susan Lesyk, director of Acade
mic Learning Services, which is
located in the basement of Prince
Lucien Campbell Hall.
“We see an increase in the
number of students who are com
ing into the math labs and the
writing lab,” Lesyk said.
She said every year she notices
this lab-usage increase, as well as
an increase in students who
come in for individual counsel
ing right after Thanksgiving
break. Lesyk said she thinks stu
dents use the Thanksgiving holi
day to get organized and make a
plan of what they need to accom
plish by the end of the term.
Paul Hartley, a graduate teach
ing fellow and co-director of
BEST, said he has not noticed a
significant increase in students
seeking help right before finals.
Hartley said the BEST center has
been busier than usual all term
and he thinks students might
have spread out their studying
throughout the term rather than
cramming it in all at the end.
Wolfsehr’s strategy for suc
ceeding at finals is to start study
ing early and write out important
concepts. Wolfsehr said she is a
visual learner and benefits from
aids such as flashcards.
Wolfsehr said she thinks most
professors usually give hints
about the material covered on the
final, which makes studying easi
er and more focused.
Besides her take-home final,
Wolfsehr has a final paper due
and will take two final exams
next week. She said getting orga
nized early will keep her from
getting too stressed right before
her tests.
Thursday afternoon, Shawn
Vredenburg, an undeclared ju
nior, had not given too much
thought to finals. He said in the
past he has tried to cram in as
much material as he can a couple
of nights before the test but is
neither worried nor stressed be
cause he usually does well.
Deidre Schuetz, a senior dou
ble-majoring in international
studies and Spanish, said she
tries to spread out her studying
as much as possible to avoid
stress.
“Usually I tend to do a little bit
of each subject a day, so I don’t
get burned out,” she said.
Like Wolfsehr, Schuetz was
sitting at a table in the Fishbowl
that was filled with pieces of pa
per, books and note cards.
Schuetz said flash cards help her
organize her thoughts for papers
and enable her to move her ideas
around.
While Schuetz starts reviewing
course material and preparing
herself for finals early, she said
she studies until the last minute
and frequently walks into the
exam room with notes in her
hand.
“I like to study as much as pos
sible,” she said.
The ALS math and writing
drop-in labs in PLC are open
Monday through Friday from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. during the term
and will be open from 9 a.m.
through 3 p.m., Monday through
Wednesday during finals week.
