Coffee Relief and Academic Mastering (CRAM) Night, hosted in the student union, provided a space for students to get school work and studies done with refreshments provided for by ASB.
Snacks and drinks, such as coffee and sandwiches, were available to all in attendance.
Tutors for different subjects were also in attendance to help any students who wanted extra help reviewing before finals.
Student Kaylee Pizano came to the event in order to catch up on assignments for History 47 and music theory.
Pizano chose the student union because other locations were insufficient for completing work.
“If I’m at home, I’m not doing anything and if I’m at a cafe I’m also not doing anything,” Pizano said.
Other students were also there to study for upcoming tests on some of their more difficult classes.
Korey Dunn and Robert Tognoli, both math majors, found that their most difficult class was calculus.
Dunn noted that it was the concepts of calculus that proved to be difficult.
“It’s just a lot of conceptual ideas in it, so if you don’t understand a lot of the concepts being thrown at you, you’re just going to drown basically,” Dunn said.
Tognoli specified that much of the coursework involved testing.
“80% of our grades are our tests, and we have 20% for homework. A lot of it is getting those tests down,” Tognoli said.
As a math tutor, Dunn was also on standby to assist students with whatever issues they were having with their course work.
Geneyah Warren, a chemistry tutor, commented that a common problem for many chem students was the math aspect of the material.
“I would say math is the main problem in chem, it’s a new language for some people,” said Warren.
CRAM night ran late, up until 10 p.m. for students that needed the space and time.
