Hi: Hopefully with this stressful time upon us, you can help me. First of all, I am 40 years old and a first year undergrad student. There’s problem number 1 already! I have a hard time memorizing stuff and thankfully I only took one course this year, but it happens to be Intro. to Anthropology. My question… how in the world can I be expected to remember 8 months of lectures and notes for my exam next week? I’ve pretty much taken the year fine, my tests, although have not been that great, at least I’ve passed them. I did get 88% on my first university essay so I am pleased with that. Despite buying a new home, having my oldest daugther quit university and move to Montreal, life is pretty much stressfree! Right! So you can see my problem; an older student, who is married with 2 kids, and she is trying to do what she should have started 23 years ago! Any suggestions on how to study without pulling any allnighters, would be very much appreciated! Thanks guys!
i’m sorry i was so damned late on a reply for this. um…i really want to help but to be honest, i’m not sure how to get through university without all nighters. i doubt if i could suggest anything to help out with that. luckily, somebody else can help you out.
try contacting the family care office here for their website or call 978-0951. they might have good suggestion for how to cope with your lifestyle and on achieving balance between your obligations. also try couselling and learning skills service here for the website or call them at 978-7970.
otherwise, hang in there. i hope your exam went well, especially since it sounds like you did so well on your first term test.
cheers,
