These reduced studying time periods have helped me reduce my stress and increase my retention of the information discussed in my classes.…

I had a training with the army, and that required me to absence from school for two weeks. Unlike my other class, I didn’t have a chance to work ahead of the class with the instructor for the two weeks that I would be missing.
