While you’re preparing for projects, presentations, and exams this week, check in with your tech to make sure you’re saving time, staying organized, and studying smart!
Canvas
If you’d like to save any readings, presentations, or other material from this semester’s courses for future reference, make sure to export or download these files and organize them on your computer or in the cloud for easy access. Reviewing course materials is a great way to refresh your memory on concepts, ideas, and assignments you studied earlier in the term.
Study Playlists
Some people prefer to study in silence – but if you need a soundtrack, check out the many study playlists on platforms like Spotify and YouTube. You can also make your study sessions cozy by playing ambience room videos on YouTube, like this wintertime jazz coffee shop, or staying warm by a virtual fireplace.

Save Time with Citations
Citations are essential for many projects, papers, and presentations, but they can quickly become time-consuming to properly format. Clark ITS offers EndNote, a reference management software, to all Clarkies. University librarian Laura Robinson also recommends Zotero, a free tool that can be used in your web browser.
