Happy Finals Week!

The last week of classes is here!  This semester flew by and next week is already finals week.  I plan on studying every day before each of my finals.  Two classes that require a written exam are my Western Civilization and Mathematics classes.  My other classes require a major project, such as an iMovie video or a PowerPoint presentation.  For example, my Inquiry class is requiring an iMovie based on my experience at Southern, which is similar to our assignment for the midterm grade.  I have already begun working on the iMovie and I still have more to do to complete the project.  My Communication class requires my classmates and I to complete a group project, which includes a speech about a product that we must create.  My classmates and I are brainstorming ideas to prepare for our final assignment.

To prepare for my final exam for Mathematics, I plan to review all of the notes that I took in class.  In addition, I am preparing to study by completing practice problems with a friend in class to ensure that we understand the material.  Studying with a friend is helpful because each student can share their understanding of the content, share ideas, and help to explain concepts to each other. 

To prepare for my Western Civilization final exam, I plan to review the textbook as well as the notes that I took in class.  My classmates and I are also studying together for Western Civilization because we can discuss the historical events and share ideas with one another.

Stress always comes with major exams and tests but exercising and eating right will help to maintain a healthy and balanced daily schedule.  A minimum of eight hours of sleep is needed for finals week.  Also, I do not want to over study and try to cram too much information for each class.  I plan to study and prepare for each final a few days before the actual test day in order to review the information more than once.  Just think… Christmas break is almost here!
