Tip Sheet for Writing Exams During Strike
As we near the final day of classes on December 8, you may be wondering how the strike by CUPE 3906, Unit 1, impacts exams. Please know that the exam period will continue and that your instructors are making every effort to support you at this time. Check Avenue to Learn or other instructor communications for any course-specific changes in exams that may include a change in format, delivery (in-person vs online), or occasionally a course exam may have been cancelled.
What you can do to reduce exam anxiety is stay informed and practice self-care.
