How to approach stress related events for the student

Public

Discussion:

When a student is closed to mid-term exams or final exams they could feel anxious about sucessfully completing the course.
A few things we do to help them deal with this school related stress factor:
1) Creating a friendly atmosphere out side the classrooms from day one.Ex: we give breaks between classes. During these breaks students meet, talk and relax.
2) Check on what the student is "getting" outside the classroom by asking questions ( surveying )
3) Talking about a funny anecdote or topic just before a test or preformance could help to relax. :-D
