Others are night owls, and have more energy in the evening hours. Just like each student has a unique learning style, different students may learn better at different times of the day.

4 tips for managing stress and anxiety of studying during COVID-19
Many of us who endured the rapid transition to online studies during the emergence of COVID-19 might feel like we’re hanging by a thread during this pandemic. And for those who had hoped to return to university as I do, we might be dreading another semester of online classes as the pandemic continues across the world. I’m certain we’ve all got divided opinions when it comes to online learning. While some of us rejoice at the thought of not having to wake up early and face the commute to morning classes, some of us feel stressed out about the massive workload that’s going to befall upon us as a result. For those like myself, online learning is one of the least appealing methods of learning, and it was a really difficult adjustment for me. Here are a few pointers I’ve learned during the uncertainty to help you manage the stress and anxiety through a semester of online studies during COVID-19. 1. Plan and prepare for your classes I can already hear a collective groan but hear me out. Keeping up with online classes takes a whole load of stress off your shoulders. When my university migrated to online platforms during the first wave of the pandemic, I remember procrastinating for weeks. I reasoned with myself that I’d be able to catch up eventually since all the materials were available online. 2. Talk to friends and family Uni friends are half the reason that makes university life memorable. Although for many of us it’s not possible to connect with them face to face or socialise the way we have before the pandemic, we can still connect with them through regular calls or video meetups to talk about classes or just about anything. It’s also harder to retain a sense of university spirit when you’re not on campus. Thankfully, many university events have shifted digitally, so you can still join student union groups, clubs, events and activities to keep connected with your peers and your university community. Talk to your family as well. Share your worries and anxieties about the semester with them. Talking openly about the issues that stress you out can be a breather after spending a long day before the laptop screen. 3. Reach out to professors for help whenever necessary Although professors and tutors seem to constantly pump out video lectures, face-to-face tutorials, assignments and other activities, they’re very aware of the situation we’re in. Chances are, they’re also trying to beat the COVID blues as well. Hence, they might be open to have a conversation with you and will be receptive if you take the first step to reach out. So, don’t hesitate to seek assistance or advice when you need it. 4. Look after your physical health The ultimate reason for lockdowns, restrictions and mandatory quarantine is to safeguard our health. And staying glued to our laptop and cellphone screens within the four walls of our room for extended periods of time is detrimental to our mental and physical wellbeing. Therefore, it’s essential to eat healthy, do some stretching or exercises every day. Most importantly, maintain a regular sleeping pattern to wake up fresh and perform tasks for the day. Whether we like it or not, COVID -19 is not going anywhere, at least not for a while. The key is to adapt, prepare and adjust to the ‘new normal’ to get through your studies. Remember to remind yourself that help is readily available whenever you need it, and rest assured this too shall pass.
How to balance work and study
The rising cost of university means students are turning to part-time work to pay the bills. Discover how to hold down a job without letting your degree suffer Money is a concern for most students – 79% of respondents to the Student Money Survey 2019 said they were worried about how they’d make ends meet while at university. It’s therefore not surprising that 75% of respondents worked to fund their studies, with a part-time job being the most common form of work (67% of respondents). If you’re trying to decide if finding a job is the right move for you, read on for advice from students who have been in your shoes. Benefit from part-time work While many students work to top up their loans and earn spare cash, that’s not the sole benefit of finding a part-time job. ‘Having a part-time job has been beneficial on many levels. Earning my own money is so rewarding, and the skills that I have developed really help to enhance my CV,’ says Catlin Edwards, a fourth-year Consumer Behaviour & Marketing student at the University of Reading. She works part-time as an HR administration assistant and bars assistant alongside her degree. ‘The colleagues that you meet in your role may even become your life-long friends. I cannot recommend getting a part-time job enough.’ It’s not just students who recommend taking up some form of part-time work at university. ‘Even if a student is financially secure enough not to need to work during their studies, we still suggest working part time or volunteering, as good-quality work experience is so important,’ says Jay Russell, campus jobs manager at the University of Reading. Consider your schedule Before applying for any part-time job, you should first think about your timetable. ‘Shops are busiest in November and December, and you may be given lots of extra shifts,’ Jay explains. ‘This could be perfect for you – but not if you have lots of essays due or exams to revise for.’ Be honest about the amount of work you can take on. Employers needing staff to cover shifts during term time often take advantage of eager students who need the money, and will often expect part-time employees to be flexible and work more hours during busy periods. Even if you’re willing to do this, highlight when your lectures and seminars are, as well as coursework deadlines and exams. While it’s important to be careful when taking on extra responsibilities, part-time work can be a great addition to your schedule – motivating you to stay productive throughout the day. For instance, if you have a shift in the afternoon or evening, you’ll need to wake up earlier to study in the morning. Plan your time effectively Taking on the extra responsibility of a part-time job won’t make excelling in your degree impossible, but you’ll need to be highly organised and have good time management to make it happen. Also, don’t try to stay on top of your workload by memory alone. Invest in a diary or planner and write down all shifts, lectures, seminars and outside commitments, as visual representation of your time helps you to stay organised and fit everything in. If you ever do find that you’re working too much, Jay advises that you talk to your manager and ask whether it’s possible to reduce your hours. ‘Ultimately, your health, wellbeing and degree should come first,’ he insists. Should you ever be feeling the strain, see our ways to manage student stress. Tailor your job application Working part-time throughout your studies equips you with the transferrable skills employers are looking for, so it’s important to highlight these in your CV and cover letter. In whatever role you choose, it’s likely you’ll develop teamwork, problem solving, time management and communication skills – all of which will boost your graduate career prospects. Make sure your application is tailored to the job you’re applying for. In your cover letter, explain how you’ll put the skills you’ve developed into practice. Employers at a bar or café won’t want to hear about the specific modules in your biomedical sciences degree, but will interested to hear how your degree has improved your ability to motivate yourself and to work as part of a team, for example.
How to Study Smarter, Not Longer
Having good study skills is always helpful. But it’s even more important now during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many students worry about family or friends who may get sick, Sana notes. Others feel more general stress. Beyond that, students in many countries are facing different formats for learning. Some schools are holding in-person classes again, with rules for spacing and masks. Others schools have staggered classes, with students at school part-time. Still others have all online classes, at least for a while. These conditions can distract from your lessons. Plus, students are likely to have to do more without a teacher or parent looking over their shoulders. They will have to manage their time and study more on their own. Yet many students never learned those skills. To them, Sana says, it may be like telling students to learn to swim by “just swimming.” The good news: Science can help. For more than 100 years, psychologists have done research on which study habits work best. Some tips help for almost every subject. For example, don’t just cram! And test yourself, instead of just rereading the material. Other tactics work best for certain types of classes. This includes things like using graphs or mixing up what you study. Here are 10 tips to tweak your study habits. 1. Space out your studying Cramming before a big test can leave you exhausted. But you’ll learn and remember material better if you space your study sessions over the course of several days. 2. Make a plan — and stick to it Many students know they should space out study periods, quiz themselves and practice other good skills. Yet many don’t actually do those things. Often, they fail to plan ahead. 3. Test Yourself That 2010 study backs up one of Nebel’s preferred study habits. Before big tests, her mom quizzed her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval practice,” she says. “It’s one of the best ways you can study.” As Nebel got older, she quizzed herself. For example, she might cover up the definitions in her notebook. Then she tried to recall what each term meant. 4. Mistakes are okay — as long as you learn from them It’s crucial to test your memory. But it doesn’t really matter how many seconds you spend on each try. That finding comes from a 2016 study by Kornell and others. But it’s important to go the next step, Kornell adds: Check to see if you were right. Then focus on what you got wrong. 5. Mix it up In many cases, it helps to mix up your self-testing. Don’t just focus on one thing. Drill yourself on different concepts. Psychologists call this interleaving. Actually, your tests usually will have questions mixed up, too. More importantly, interleaving can help you learn better. If you practice one concept over and over “your attention decreases because you know what’s coming up next,” Sana explains. Mix up your practice, and you now space the concepts apart. You can also see how concepts differ, form trends or fit together in some other way. Doing schoolwork during a pandemic is a tough situation at best. But remember your teachers and classmates also face challenges. Like you, they have fears, concerns and questions. Be willing to cut them some slack. And be kind to yourself as well. After all, Kornell says, “we’re all in this together.”
