Student Spotlight
Olivia Kavapalu
Meet Olivia Kavapalu! She’s a health, society & policy and international studies double major and CSBS ambassador. When asked what inspires her to #bethesolution, Olivia said, “As Starr Carter from Angie Thomas' "The Hate U Give", articulately puts it, 'What’s the point of having a voice if you’re gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn’t be?' With an ability to speak up and dismantle oppressive systems, I choose to #bethesolution because the moment we decide to silence ourselves is the same moment where we surrender. #Bethesolution means more than speaking out against instances of injustice and strife. It asks individuals to sacrifice their complacency and use their privilege for good. #Bethesolution is the conscious decision to evolve; to grow; to move.”

How Good is Your Online Study Game?
Did you know that the most common study strategies students use are among the least effective study strategies available?
Students often rely on re-reading, underlining, and highlighting their notes as their primary study strategy, but this is the least effective way to truly learn course content! Even worse, many online students don’t even take notes in the first place when watching lecture videos or reading online texts, which means they aren’t giving themselves a foundation upon which to study later in the semester.
Consider combining any of the study strategies below to get more out of your online courses:
  • Take hand-written notes while watching lectures and reading online texts
  • Create a study guide
  • Make and use flash cards
  • Design mind maps of course concepts
  • Use mnemonics
  • Quiz yourself
  • Create a study group
  • Get plenty of sleep and eat nutritious food
For even more information on how to increase your study game, visit the Tools for Success page for students at the U.
