Be on the lookout as get close to Finals Week! We will be giving some study tips for you to try out as you prepare for the end of the semester! If you need more tips and tricks, visit cmich.edu/ess/oss and click on the “Resources” tab!

This week’s study tip is to get organized! Find a method that works for you to sort out everything you need to get done! But be careful, don’t spend too much time organizing, or you won’t have time to study!

This week’s study tip is: Remember to take breaks! The Pomodoro technique encourages short bursts of studying. Try studying for 25 (uninterrupted) minutes, take a 5 minute break, and repeat! After 2 hours or so, take a longer break of 15 minutes to get your energy back!

This week’s Study Tip is: If you’re having a hard time keeping off your phone, try using the screen time function to limit yourself, or utilize apps that incentivize keeping your phone locked. If you’re with friends, hold each other accountable!

This week’s Study Tip of the Week: Gather up all your questions and take them right to your professor. You still have plenty of time to go to their office hours and get clarification on a study guide or concept.
