We're well into the quarter now and I want to check in and be sure you're utilizing the resources available to you! There are study centers (Physics in the Auditorium Building, CLUE for a variety of classes in MGH, and the instructional center at 1307 NE 40th St). There are also Study Smarter Workshops available to you for free from the counseling center (on the 4th floor of Schmitz). Workshop topics include time management and text anxiety. In addition, remember to attend office hours or schedule a separate appointment with your professors if you're not understanding material in class.
Here are some events to keep in mind this week:
Spring Schedules: Let me know if you have questions as you begin to think about your spring quarter schedule. Registration begins as early as Feb. 19 for graduating seniors.
Undergraduate Research Symposium: Are you working on research? Present it to the UW Community at the 13th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. The symposium will be on May 21 in Mary Gates Hall. You must submit an application to participate by Feb. 22. Check out some of the workshops available for writing the application:
Abstract Writing Workshops are tailored to students who are applying to the Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium.
The session includes a review of the Symposium application process, the logistics of the Symposium day, followed by information on what exactly is an abstract, how to write one, and what information to include. If you already have a draft, you may also bring this to the session for feedback.
