This course is delivered in two morning sessions, the second of which will be a Google Calendar tutorial as led by James Aspevig. Learn how to utilize and get the most out of this wonderful time management tool available in student email.

TEST ANXIETY/TEST TAKING STRATEGIES
with Brian DuMontier
Mon Oct 6, 9:00 AM
Wed Oct 8, 2:00 PM
Test stress is natural and helps to keep you mentally and physically alert, but too much may cause physical distress, emotional upset, and concentration difficulties. As it snowballs, test stress becomes fully blown test anxiety which impacts your ability to perform on an exam. This workshop will teach you two important test taking skills:
- Methods to help reduce psychological and physical distress to keep your test stress manageable.
- Test taking strategies known as "test wiseness" that will give you an extra edge as you methodically break down each question.
Improving your beliefs and attitudes about the test-taking experience may actually help you enjoy studying and may improve your performance.
