Fall Break is quickly approaching, which also brings a few other things along with it. The first and most stressful thing is: MIDTERMS! Yes, midterm season is upon us, but you can get through it! Being a senior, I have had several semesters to work out the best way to study, and it really comes down to planning. The best thing I can do for myself is to first know when these midterms are, know what material they cover, and what I need help with. In an ideal situation, I review notes a few days beforehand and make note of what I do not understand based on first glance. Then I go back and reread notes\/books\/supplemental material to try to reteach myself. In recent semesters, I’ve found that listening to the lecture (if it is recorded) again to be very helpful to make sure I have the correct information down. After I’ve relearned the material, I like to summarize\/draw\/restate things on my own or explain the topics (like a mechanism\/ biological process) to a friend. Seeing the big picture and explaining means you have full grasp of that concept. My last tip: try to do a little everyday if you can, this way there is a better chance of committing everything you’ve learned to long-term memory. And finally, good luck! It’ll be over before you know it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
