Throughout fifteen weeks each semester, the students of Gannon U. must suffer through class- es and struggle to survive from break to break. At the conclusion of these fifteen weeks, it is now time to face perhaps the most diffi- cult week of any of the pre- vious ones- Finals Week. It is quite hard to understand the pressures of finals without having previously experienced it. Freshmen This Chemistry II student checks all heakers and flasks before lab check-out. Study groups are always a popular idea for helping to prepare for fi- nal exams. Final Exams A Test of Preparation! come into G.U. with the possibility of one or maybe two cumulative finals in their four years of high school. Yet, these are noth- ing to compare with college finals. Many students find it quite difficult to prepare for final exams. The most obvious method of study is a complete review of all topics studied throughout the semester, with an in- tensive review of the most recently studied items. Of course there are always the students who blow-off the entire semester, study- ing only the night before tests and cramming the en- tire weekend before final exams. In the end, these students d o find that they get out just as much as they put into the class. For nearly all students will agree that studying for a cumulative exam entails a cumulative learning. Stu- dents must stay abrest of their studies throughout the entire semester. A de- tailed learning will pay off for the hard workers at the end of that sixteenth week. So, students BEWARE . . . In mid-October when you are tempted by the Sunday afternoon football games or in early April when spring fever starts to set in, stay close to the grindstone and work hard, lest your grades will leave you feeling gray.
