Student Tip of the Week

Anisa Jimenez is a sophomore at Stetson with a major in Psych and a minor in Education. Her first semester here was rough but she didn't let that pattern continue. Instead the second semester she found techniques and learning skills that best suited her, which lead to a drastic turn around for her GPA.

Her tip or key to success for fellow Stetson students is organization. It's all about being organized so that you can break your homework down into increments, that way it doesn't overwhelm you. It also means that the night before a major assignment or test, instead of cramming you'll be getting a good night's rest. To organize her life, Anisa makes use of planners and to do lists. She puts her due dates into the planner then breaks down how much work she should do each day so that everything gets done on time. There are many different strategies one can implement into his or her life to organize it, finding one that suits you will definitely boost your grades.

Roy G. Biv

Having trouble remembering what Gorbachev did for the Soviet Union? Make up an acronym. What is an acronym, you ask. Well every letter in Roy G. Biv relates to a color in the visible spectrum (red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, violet). This may take a little more time to come up with, but it might be a good way of remembering those really important facts that you just know you are going to be tested on.

…still wondering what the acronym is for Gorbachev? So am I dear blog reader…so am I.

ARC Trivia Answer 2

Week 2, September 6 - 12
Category: Biology

What species of frog is able to revive itself back to normal life after staying completely frozen for months, during which its heart, brain and other organs stop functioning?

The answer is the Alaskan wood frog! Similar to other northern frogs that hibernate close to the surface in soil and/or leaf litter, wood frogs can tolerate the freezing of their blood and other tissues. Urea is accumulated in tissues in preparation for overwintering, and liver glycogen is converted in large quantities to glucose in response to internal ice formation. Both urea and glucose act as "cryoprotectants" to limit the amount of ice that forms and to reduce osmotic shrinkage of cells. Frogs can survive many freeze/thaw events during winter if not more than about 65% of the total body water freezes.
