It’s that time of the year again, and while we are all fantasizing of summer break, finals are swiftly approaching. In just a little over four short weeks we will be taking the last of our finals for the year. So instead of waiting until the week before and going countless nights without sleep to study, why don’t you take advantage of this time and get prepared early? Getting ready for finals now will definitely impact your health, social life, and grades in a positive manner! The University of Utah has some great resources to help you out, so utilize those now. Here are some of the resources the U offers…
1. J. Willard Marriot Library
Yes, this is a pretty obvious one but the library is great! Going there to study for a few hours a week will get you ready for finals in no time. There’s nothing like going to the library to get you in a productive mood. Plus it isn’t as crowded now as it will be during finals week so take advantage of that and go study at the library!
2. University Writing Center
Do you have any final papers due? If so, check out the University Writing Center on the second floor of the Library. The Writing Center is a fantastic place to get advice on your paper, or even ideas of what to write your paper on. Hurry and book an appointment though, because the closer it gets to finals week, the harder it is to reserve a time to come in for help.
3. Go to Office Hours and TA/SI Sessions
If you want to be prepared for finals early, then start going to your professor’s office hours. I repeat. Go to your professor’s office hours. Professors love it when you go to their office hours and are always willing to help with any questions you have. Plus they might be able to give you some tips as to what is on the final and how to study for it. That being said, also go to TA and SI sessions. Your TA is a great resource for getting any help you may need on the course material. Not to mention TA and SI sessions are both free and everyone knows college students love free stuff.
4. ASUU Tutoring Center
If you still need help preparing for finals, go to the ASUU Tutoring Center located in the Student Services Building. ASUU has significantly low prices for both group and individual tutoring for a variety of courses.
Prepare for finals now and don’t put off studying until the week before. Start now and utilize these great resources that the U offers to you! Happy studying fellow collegiates!Â
