Revision, Revision, Revision
Posted by Beth in Biological Sciences on April 24, 2019
Revision, revision, revision. That’s a pretty accurate summary of my life currently. It’s that time of year when most students are busy with exam prep and deadlines. So how should you make this time as productive as possible? 1) Pick where you revise best: its easy to want to revise in bed but lets […]

A Balancing Act

So, dear readers, we approach the end of my tenure as your resident biological sciences blogger! I’m not ready to say goodbye yet, so I will leave my farewell post to the next one, which will give me enough time to think up of a clever title for it. For this post, I’ve […]

Feedback and Feed-Forward
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on May 29, 2017
So whilst everyone is finishing up their exams, I thought I’d write a post about feedback and the importance of getting it whenever you accomplish a task. Finishing a piece of work, an interview, an exam, brings with it so much relief and joy that it is near impossible to find the urge […]

Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on May 13, 2017
This week’s post is going to focus on all the lovely things I am looking forward to once exam season is over. We all have those objects that we regard as lights at the end of the tunnel – things that motivate us to push through those endless groups of notes and cuecards – and […]

Thursday Thoughts: Writing the Dissertation
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on March 29, 2017
So, this post was definitely not written to trigger fear. It was mainly inspired by the fact that my brain is rarely occupied by anything else nowadays!

Winding Down: 3 Exciting Things!
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on March 12, 2017
So, another week bites the dust and it seems to only get busier for us Leicester students! Fortunately, barring my dissertation, all of my deadlines are officially completed.
