There are two types of students: those who hate group work and those who love it. No matter which type you are, working in groups still allows you to meet fellow students. The sunken lounge area by Cecil B. Moore Avenue is a great place to find some peace and quiet, only if you are lucky enough to be there when the skate boarders are not.

Staying up late I One thing that teachers constantly advocate is a way to improve one ' s ' study. Studying, even though it may i be a sure fire way of assuring a good grade, almost always proves a te- dious and time consuming task. There are many different ways that students study for exams or just for knowledge of subject matter. Some people study while riding the sub- way to school as a matter of both passing the time and learning some- thing. Other people spend hours upon hours in the library research- ing and reading in hopes that their i efforts will land them on the Dean ' s list. Scientific research on the sub- ject of studying has shown that re- writing notes can improve memo- rization; this is another widely used approach. One way of studying that can prove useful for even the big- gest dolt is associating what one is studying with something that is al- ready familiar to that person. An example would be finding a relationship between wrestling and philosophy and then associating those together. Flash cards are not nearly as exciting as one might think, but they nonetheless provide a fast way of memorizing words. Studying by oneself is lonely and can make it more of a task than the fun experience it should be. Grab a partner and, presto! Studying sud- denly becomes fun. Partners are helpful in studying because they may have more knowledge on an- other subject. Two heads are al- ways better then one! — Ryan Daley Photo By: Hiu Kwong Yau Who ' s to blame for finals? Students say: Instructors are to blame for the long hours and sleepless nights. Professors say: The procrastination of the students is what makes finals so hard.
