As the end of the fall semester approaches, students at the University of Montevallo are thinking about their final exams and projects. 

Everyone has different methods of studying. Mark Shoebridge, a junior in Exercise and Nutrition Science major, explained how he’s preparing for finals. 

“I think the best way to be successful in the final week is to invest time in work. Personally, I struggle working in my room so I spend a lot of time at the Carmichael library. We have all the tools we need here in Montevallo to succeed and I am very grateful for it.” 

In addition to being a source for infinite amounts of recorded knowledge and a cozy and quiet atmosphere for studying and working, Carmichael Library provides a number of extra assets like the J.A. Brown Jr. and Eleanor L. Brown Collaborative Learning Room, the Pat Scales Special Collections Room, the Digital Media Lab, and the Anna Crawford Milner Archives. 

There are always small tricks students can use to help study for finals. For some, it can be listening to music or having their favorite while studying.

Preparing early and working in groups can make tests less stressful. Everyone is different, but with the right method, studying for finals can be easier.
