Fostering cats has been instrumental to keeping me sane during the comps process. For my students, they offer some illustrated advice:
|
Talk to your TA to clarify information early in the term. |
|
Work together with your peers to clarify concepts and keep each other on track (but make sure to hand in your own work for individual projects!) |
|
|
Do your readings, and take notes.
Your reading space should be comfortable...
But not too comfortable! |
|
|
Think outside the box |
|
Back up your work periodically. |
Sometimes, the angle you're approaching an issue from makes it hard for you to see an impenetrable obstacle.
|
Sometimes, it helps to just sit on an issue for a little while. |
|
If things aren't making sense, try looking at issues from a different vantage point.
|
|
If all else fails, take a nap.

Models: Mellow Yellow (orange/white); Scott (human); Kiira, Nienna, and Luke/Linder (grey/white); Kiki and Kiwi (calico). All of these cats are/were fostered through Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association. Scott is not being fostered; he is my friend and simultaneously supportive and distracting office-mate.
