Introduction

Being a student can be very stressful for many different reasons. One of the pressures is the many deadlines and assessments, particularly if it is difficult to study. To me, I face many difficulties with how I cope with assignments and pressures of time, I do not know where to begin and how to improve my study and communication skills.

I learn better if I get notes down and work with groups and discuss the topics with the other students. I like to work this way because it helps me to clarify my thinking and remember more effectively.
