Coping with ... FINALS!
(How Do You Get Ready for Finals?)
I start working at the last minute and I am quite stressed, but I work out or exercise to help. I sleep for a few hours before the test.

Ali Ayçicek ECON-IV

I like to study efficiently. This means that I work nonstop for 12 hours and I take the test without any sleep. I like to study efficiently. This means that I work nonstop for 12 hours and I take the test without any sleep.

Serhan Özbek MAN-II

Every day I keep thinking and making sketches. I work at night and I drink lots of coffee.

Umut Aslantaş GRA-I

I study three or four pages, take a break and continue. I prefer studying at night because I can't concentrate in the daytime.

Nükhet Büyükvelioğlu ELIT-III

I go to the library. We can concentrate better there. At home we eat and drink and we can't concentrate much.

Nil Giritli ELIT-III

Nothing other than study. I think the only way to be successful is to study hard and attend courses regularly.

Barış Bilir EE-I

I study in my room with music at night. Heavy metal is good for finals. I like Megadeath.

Buğra Yenen GRA-I

We prefer studying together. We find it provides us with different views on our studies. My field requires discussion on issues.

Bahar Altay ELIT-III

I don't have a strategy but I am learning. Sometimes I get together with friends. They say just work hard. No one has a special scheme.

Özge Baytekin IAED-I

Our Department is Graphic Design, so most of our time is spent on thinking, imagining to create something. This week I am thinking of a design for use on finals.

Murat Bayral GRA-I

We wait until the last night. Because sometimes we don't take good notes we get together to study. It helps us see the mistakes and positive things together.

Saim Aydoğan AMER-II

Sometimes we find and memorize some of the most important points.

Ebru Uluğ ELIT-II

Before I start studying, I eat, brush my teeth, and make phone calls just to clear my mind. Then I find my favorite music.

Sezin Dolonay ELIT-III

I have to make a plan. We didn't have finals in high school. It is really hard not to sleep but work hard. I am not used to that kind of work.

Ali Ergin IAED-I

My problem is there is not enough time between midterms and finals. I am drinking high-caffeine energy drinks and I am not sleeping.

Cemil Yaman IE-III

I go to my friend's home to study. It is not quiet enough in the dorms. I stay up very late. But I study regularly so it's no problem.

Ayşen Ağbaş ELIT-III
