When you're behind on your work or feeling overwhelmed, how can you use Reading Week to catch up? With assignments, essays, and exams on the horizon, the middle of the semester can be overwhelming.
In this workshop, learn how to create an inventory of upcoming assessments and make a realistic plan to use reading week effectively.
• Learn to prioritize your urgent and important tasks
• Break down your work into smaller academic tasks
• Create a schedule to complete your work
