7.1 | Agenda and Quiz

Read the weekly agenda and watch the overview video before attempting the quiz:

   Introduction/Purpose

This week is all about stress and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Students are notorious for staying up late studying while eating junk food and drinking too much caffeine!  You may be living on your own for the first time as well and that may feel a little lonely.  Stress will be a big part of being a college student too, so it's so very important to know what your stress feels like, where it's coming from, and how to reduce it. 

Physical, mental, and emotional health are part of lifelong strategies, but examining practices while in college and finding solutions for maintaining health can help students discover what works for them. Health is truly the foundation to college success. Without good sleep habits, for example, students will not be able to learn effectively and efficiently. Without managing the negative effects of stress, students will not be able to focus on their courses and assignments. 

This week you will have your second quiz which will be over Units 2 and 3, so be sure to plan your week accordingly to give yourself enough time to take this quiz!
