Get Organized This Study Season

Hi, folks–

You have a ton on your plates right now.  Feel free to use the pdf study organizer we created in the Learning Co-op to organize those ambiguously categorized time you have set aside for “studying” at the end of this semester.  Breaking large tasks down into smaller, more manageable pieces not only helps you better manage your time, but also helps keep you motivated.  Set yourself 30 minute tasks and and reward yourself with a 15 minute break after each hour of uninterrupted study (try to avoid checking your email or Facebook until these study breaks and watch your productivity increase!).

The Final Countdown

Hello, Tutors–

I’m sure I don’t need to remind you that there is only about a week and a half left of classes this semester.  I may have to remind you, however, that the LAST DAY of TUTORING is WEDNESDAY, MAY 2.  No tutoring appointments may be scheduled after May 2.

The final payroll submission deadline for this semester is SUNDAY, APRIL 29.  You will receive your last paycheck on Friday, May 4.  (If you work hours the week of April 30-May 4, your final paycheck will be issued on Friday, May 18.  It can be mailed to you if you will already be gone for the summer, just let us know where it needs to go.)

As a thank-you for all of the amazing work you have done this semester, the Learning Co-op and Academic Support Programs is hosting a student staff-appreciation event just for you on Thursday, May 3 from 2:00-4:00 pm in the Fireplace Lounge in L/L!  Please RSVP online.

SI Leaders and Drop-In tutors interested in holding final exam reviews after May 2, please let me know no later than Wednesday, April 25 what date and time you would like to hold sessions.  Our final exam review session schedule must be completed by May 1.  Thanks!

As one last reminder, if you tutor in the Co-op, please be mindful of where our furniture is located to be accessible to all students who use our space and please do not move chairs between cubicles.

Best,
Rachel
