Exam Cram

Eagan campus hosted another study-a-thon on Saturday Dec 8th.. This librarian writes about how he planned and advertised for an Exam Cram during finals week.

Study-a-thon at Eagan

The Mentor Center Coordinator and I planned a Study-a-thon on Saturday Sept. 8th from 10-2. It was a huge success. About 30-35 students attended. We offered prizes (Wal-Mart gift cards) and food. Many students met in study groups. The Mentor Center Coordinator, tutors, and I were all available to answer many questions. It was great to see the library and computers labs buzzing with students studying for finals and finishing up research papers. In the future we are planning on doing more study-a-thons during a Saturday around Midterms and again at the end of the quarter. We think that Saturdays work best for students to not have conflicts with daycare, their classes, etc. I highly recommend doing this at other campuses. It is not always fun to come to work on a Saturday, but it was nice to get out early on Friday :)
