For this week’s spotlight we are interviewing teachers on finals prep. First up is Ms. Cox!

• What finals schedule do you prefer? Three days or four days?

  • Personally, I have only had students during the four day finals schedule!
• Do you like doing tests or projects for your final?
  •  I prefer tests!

• Do you have any advice for students who are stressed about finals?

  •  Start studying early! Cramming the night before isn’t as effective as we might think. Spreading out your studying over longer periods of time can help with memory of the subject!
• What are some coping strategies (if any) you use for test anxiety?
  • Take your time! There is no need to rush through your final! I always recommend starting with the section that you find easiest, then circling back to the section that you are stuck on.
• Do you have any study tips for students?
  •  Prioritize the classes you seem to struggle with more than others. If you are stressed about one class more than any others, focus on studying for that and reach out to the teacher as well!
