It’s the last week of class and time to think about finals! Here are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Finish your coursework. Look back through your syllabus and other course documents to be sure you haven’t forgotten anything. If you have, contact your instructor to see if you can still get credit for late assignments.
2. Save course documents. Once the course end date passes, you will no longer be able to access course materials. Courses typically end the last day of finals. We recommend that you save any files, discussion posts, or resource links that you wish to keep to your computer before the end of the course. If you need to access course materials after the end date, contact your instructor.
Save course documents in a folder labeled with the course number and name. This will help you keep things organized and easy to find. It may also come in handy later if you need to do a comprehensive exam or review for your program.
3. Create a contact list. Once your D2L site is closed you won’t have access to student email addresses. Make a list of names, email address and/or phone numbers of those you may want to contact after the class ends. You may also want to include a note about why you kept their information (i.e. “employed with DNR,” “may help with research,” etc.).
4. Stay healthy. You may be overwhelmed with finishing final papers and studying for exams but it is important to eat right and get enough rest.
Good luck! Enjoy your holiday break!
