Graduate Students - Academic, Social and Personal Support
Visit https://gradschool.cornell.edu/student-experience/
to learn how to enhance your graduate student experience with the following:
Tips for a Successful Semester
- Manage your time by using a semester calendar and a weekly planner. These calendars are available from the Learning Strategies Center: http://lsc.cornell.edu/semester-calendar/
- Stop procrastinating by exploring why you procrastinate so that you don’t fall behind. While many lectures are recorded and classes are asynchronous, you can still create your own 9am – 5pm schedule to keep yourself on track. Register for the March 12 Procrastination workshop offered by CAPS at Cornell Health.
- Learn from mistakes and see them as opportunities to learn and grow. Develop your growth mindset by recognizing & reframing negative self-talk and remembering "I made a mistake, but I am not a mistake".
- Get help when you need it! Connect with peers, TAs, and instructors when you're stuck (in COVID safe ways of course).
