Teaching: Finish the Semester Strong

Congratulations! We’ve passed the halfway mark—specifically, we’re at the 8/14 point, counting full weeks of instruction. How do we ensure our students maintain their momentum and finish the semester strong? A helpful page from Georgia State University offers ten insightful tips for students. Among these is the Pomodoro technique. A time management strategy developed in the late 1980s, this approach breaks work into focused intervals, separated by short breaks, enhancing productivity and focus.

Several other tips focus on how students can schedule and organize their workflow efficiently. To support this, Goblin.tools has developed an innovative suite of tools designed to keep students on track, including:

Magic To Do: Simplifies complex tasks or assignments by dividing them into more manageable steps.
Judge: Analyzes the tone of written work, helping to clarify if it’s potentially being misinterpreted.
Estimator: Provides an estimated duration for completing tasks or assignments, aiding in better time management.

With the right tools and strategies, we can empower our students to achieve their best, rounding off the semester on a high note.
