Thanks for the note, I appreciate it. During the test I didn’t feel as if I was doing all that well. My score is more a reflection of the great instruction I have received, plus the help and support.
Thanks again,
Mitchell P.

Studying During the Holiday Season

Published by pcpro under Miscellaneous,Study Tips

‘Tis the Season… Right! With the Holidays right around the corner, some students might have the luxury of waiting out their food coma in front of the television. Others aren’t so lucky. This is “crunch” time, and I’m not talking about cookies.

A house filled with friends, relatives and what’s-their-names is far from the ideal study atmosphere – here are some suggestions to help drown out the distractions:

1.  Find a quiet environment… I know what you’re thinking, but try your best. Whether that means holing yourself up in your bedroom or taking a walk to the local coffee shop, where you study can make all the difference.

2.  Avoid social usage on the computer as much as possible! It may be tough, but with so much going on during the holidays, a class-related Google search can quickly turn into an hour on Facebook.

3.  Eat smart. Avoid digging through the cookie jar. Sweets and holiday leftovers can knock you out. Instead stick to lighter meals and non-caffeinated drinks.

4.  Lastly, try to relax. The holidays can be crazy and stressful (that’s off the record, of course) and it doesn’t matter how hard you study if your head’s somewhere else. Stay focused and concentrate on the issues at hand.

Remember, don’t be too hard on yourself. After all, the Holidays are all about taking a second to get out and enjoy the little things.
