Hi Jordan!

Great question! The NABS Board is developing a sample letter that students can send to their professors if they are indeed confirmed to attend Washington Seminar.

We will distribute next steps on how attendees can obtain one of these letters in the coming weeks.

Thanks for bringing up a great point!
Kathryn

How can I go about negotiating with my school to let me have finals week off? Finals week is Washington seminar  week for the winter 2020  semester. Yes, I am taking sociology 1 over The winter intercession semester, and I will probably have a final exam on February 13, 2020.

I just had a quick question in regards to how you study best, what tools/methods you use that have worked effectively to succeed in final exams, and for some advice of course. I?ve been mainly using Quizlet, which is somewhat accessible but could be better. There is an upcoming exam for me this Friday and am trying to explore some methods and strategies that other students here have used that have worked. Yes, I?m expecting a relatively difficult exam and would appreciate some input from you all. The exam that I?ll be taking consists of about 50 multiple choice portion followed by short answer/free response portion.

> Hi Seyon,
> I use a Braillenote Apex and have all the vocabulary words I need to study in one file. For me, it's not re-writing that helps, but reading and re-reading, and going through the words I don't know repeatedly. Another thing I have done (although this probably only works with tricky words for English class) is to create sentences with the words I'm having trouble with to review later. I like creative writing, and I try make sentences relating to either myself or one of the characters about whom I am writing. If you do this, try to be specific: the sentence should grasp your ability to apply the word.
