I only have one finals test this year. I guess if I did have finals, what I would do is I look at all the information for the thing and basically just like, write it down the second time, because that’s how I like, memorize stuff is by writing it down.” – Thomas Kennedy, first year, Graphic Design
“Oh goodness. Well, I’m an Art Department student, Graphic Design, so preparing for finals, I mean, we start weeks ahead of time. I mean, we’re already preparing. A lot of studying, a lot of – let’s see… what classes are we taking right now? Well, our classes are kind of different. Usually, with our classes, we will be doing a lot of research right now. But due to the projects I’m doing since I’m a senior, we more like, already have the stuff we need, and all the information we already know. We just like, go ahead and start our projects but our projects, I mean, for finals, we’re two weeks ahead of time.” – Morgan Jetton, senior, Graphic Design
