With finals just around the corner, students may be juggling studying, work and finding time for themselves. Effectively multitasking could be a way to help students be more efficient with their time.
Caroline Black, teaching assistant in the Department of Biological Sciences, said creating a list of everything that needs to done and distinguishing what tasks can be done at the same time is one method for tackling this busy time.
âBe honest with yourself about what you can actually accomplish and what you can do together,â Black said.
It is hard to be productive when stressed, so Black said being honest with yourself can be helpful. For example, Black said there are some lectures she can have on as background noise as she completes other tasks, and others she must focus on completely.
