This Week in OMSA

A Message from an OMSA Student Leader

When you study, plan early! Finals are right around the corner! If you haven’t started prepping for finals, try to start early! This will help relieve some extra stress later on. When I study for classes, I always try to stay ahead of the game by making my flashcards or making my review sheets for an exam a few weeks before the exam date. This gives me enough time to study and ask questions to clarify ahead of time. If you are having trouble or need extra pointers about what to study, try to attend one of your SI sessions if the class offers it, or stop by the Parkside Academic Resource Center (PARC) where they have tutors ready to help you!
