In times like these, it’s important to uphold a level of academic honesty. Cheating can lead to automatic failing, 0s, as well as expulsion. Academic rigor is vital to uphold the proper acquisition of knowledge. Plus, cheating is a lot of effort, which could be better channeled toward studying. That way, you'll actually know the material. Teaching yourself how to learn is highly beneficial in the long run. It'll keep your mind sharp and ready for anything. There is plenty of time to still succeed at school. Good luck and use this time wisely!

A very much forgotten aspect of being a good student is getting exercise! Exercise has been proven to strengthen blood flow to the brain and improve memory. It also improves your sleep quality, helping you wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day. Even though you may not want to hit the gym during the pandemic, there are plenty of ways to exercise, while remaining socially distant. Take a walk around the neighbourhood, or watch an exercise video online. 30 minutes a day is a great goal. It’s easy to forget this fundamental aspect of being a good student. Make sure to get some exercise!

With the middle of November almost upon us, students are faced with unit tests, midterms, and major assignments. It’s normal for many students to feel a sense of burnout. Burnout is a serious issue that affects performance as well as energy levels. In the workplace, burnout can cost major companies millions of dollars a year. So, it’s nothing to take lightly. Make sure to eat well, exercise and sleep well during this time. Education is a marathon not a sprint.

We love a bit of artistic note taking! When notes are aesthetically pleasing, they are easier to go over. Note taking is more than just writing things down on paper. They are also a great way to individualize learning to fit your needs! Don’t just write stuff down. Underline, colour-code, or draw pictures! Pictures are a great way to individualize notes. Some of our favourite things to draw are flow charts, tables, or other important diagrams! Bullet points are also helpful ...to take down key information. If a teacher spends a lot of time on one concept, you can be sure that it will be important in the future. Also, make sure to tailor your notes to tackle the key concepts and topics of your course. When it comes time to study it might be beneficial to draw mind maps or make flash cards. Not only is the physical writing beneficial, but so is the ability to visualize your concepts coming together. Don’t forget to practice, practice, practice!
