The First Year Library Team is planning to host an Exam Jam on Monday, December 1 at the Davis campus Library from 10 am to 4 pm.
What is an Exam Jam?
An Exam Jam is an event that combines academic study sessions with fun, stress-relieving activities for students. Other schools, like the University of Toronto, Mississauga, among others, have hosted this type of event in the past. For examples of what an Exam Jam might look like, click here.
We’re looking for faculty help.
The First Year Library Team wants to engage our first-year students as they enter into exams by providing academic support via course study sessions. We are looking for faculty volunteers to run study sessions for the following courses at the Davis campus:
1. CHEM 17370 – Introduction to Chemistry 1
2. PROG 10082 – Object Oriented Programming 1 – Java
3. MATH 17688 – Mathematics 1
These study sessions will be one hour in length, host up to 40 students and run between 12-3pm. They will serve as a general exam-prep session for students. We also welcome volunteers for other courses. If you teach a first-year course and think your students would benefit from a general study session, please volunteer.
If you can’t volunteer your time, you can still help by promoting this event to all your first-year students. Want us to visit your class to promote the event? Please send us an email.
Sheridan’s Exam Jam
In addition to study sessions, the opportunity for students to have some fun through the creation of appreciation cards, some short physical exercise activities, healthy snacks and more will be available. One of Sheridan’s Accessible Learning Strategist’s will also host workshops on taking multiple choice and long/short answer exams, and offer general study skills information.
For more information, to volunteer or to suggest a study session, please call x5676 or email Jamie Goodfellow at jamie.goodfellow@sheridancollege.ca. Please respond by November 14.
