Stressed about final papers? At the end of the semester, it’s crucial to take steps to manage your stress yet sometimes it’s difficult to know how. If this sounds like you, come to a new workshop, co-sponsored by the Writing Center and the Peer Counseling Program: De-Stressing Final Papers Wednesday, November 29, 4:15-5:15 pm, KJ 224... This workshop takes on the most anxiety-producing aspects of writing final papers and offers concrete and realistic strategies that lead to less stressful, higher quality work. In the first half of the session, a peer tutor will present several strategies with an emphasis on how to personalize each to best match students’ own strengths and weaknesses. In the second half, students will make individual plans for tackling final papers and tutors will provide ideas to jumpstart brainstorming. Snacks will be provided! Workshop is limited to 30 participants: please register here: https://docs.google.com//1FAIpQLSdNloqNf-Iy7bdVs/viewform
