And, the Center for Teaching and Learning is here to help-please reach out to us if you ever want to chat about navigating remote courses (or life!) this quarter. Be kind to yourself, and know that humans are adaptable and capable of adjusting to change more quickly than we think. This obviously wasn’t the way I planned to start law school, and I’m sure it isn’t the way you all anticipated starting college, senior year, or your time as a student in general. Have an apple or another handy snack on your desk to munch on in between classes if you have a few minutes, and eat ahead of time if you’ve got long stretches of class! to 7 p.m., and at the beginning, I made the mistake of not eating anything before classes started (it’s right after lunch!) but then I was starving by the time classes ended.

Pro tip: go to your Canvas calendar, and select the “Calendar Feed” option on the bottom right. I use a pen and paper planner as well as a Google Calendar, which has all my Zoom links and class times built in, so it’s easy and quick to log into class. I cannot emphasize this enough! It’s the only way I can keep track of class times. I know that choosing your schedule might not always be possible-for example, my law school schedule is pre-selected for me, so I had no control over class times-but if you can choose, you might want to consider courses held at times that you’re most likely to be alert and engaged. Similarly, you might be wiped out by a class that starts at 6 p.m. Pacific if you’re currently at home in Hawaii. You might not be the most alert in a class that starts at 9 a.m. I know this might seem obvious, but now that you’re aware of your best learning hours, you can aim for classes that match them. If you have the choice, opt for classes that are conducive to your time zone. In my case, that might mean getting homework done in the mornings, because my earliest class starts at 12:45 p.m. Of course, every person is different- figure out when your best hours are, and plan to do schoolwork at those times. And I usually hit a slump in the afternoons where I’m really not that productive. I’m also pretty productive in the evenings, but I’m Zoomed out by then, usually, so screen work is not great at that time. Do you notice that it’s easier to read, write, or focus in class at certain times of the day? Personally, my best hours are before noon-I wouldn’t say I’m a morning person, but I find that I have fewer distractions (emails, texts from friends, etc.) in the mornings. Here’s some advice on how to make the most of remote studying in a different time zone:įind out when your best learning hours are. And, as a law student on the East Coast, I’m also now in the same boat. Needless to say, it was challenging-but together we came up with solutions to help manage their varying time zones. Some were seniors required to take classes for their major that started at 6 a.m. It was also March when I found out I was admitted to a joint JD at Stanford Law School, which put me in a bizarre position of being both a current as well as an incoming student in the midst of a global pandemic.Īs a Peer Academic Coach, I’d met with many students over the course of Spring Quarter who found themselves in different time zones than their professors. In March, I abruptly left campus when the pandemic hit and campus shut down to stay with my family in Montreal, Canada as I continued my PhD studies. If you were to ask me how I anticipated my first quarter of law school going, I probably would not have expected midnight Zoom socials and taking classes via screen in my childhood home.
