Dr. Ian Garner, Academic Skills Outreach Coordinator in Student Academic Success Services at Queen’s University returns to Campus Beat in this episode. Garner chats with us about obstacles students face in staying well, organized and prepared for exam writing especially in light of the new challenges COVID-19 has presented. He also talks about Test Anxiety, how students can recognize it and ways to address this common experience. Garner also talks about the many resources and services available virtually for students to help them survive and thrive this exam season.
Following our discussion with Dr. Garner, this episode also features campus news updates on the University’s new food service partnership with Aramark Canada, NSERC’s new research award named for Nobel Laureate Dr. Arthur McDonald, and Queen’s students Matthew Hynes and Jevon Marsh’s selection as 2021 Rhodes Scholars.
