Peer Network Program
There are various factors that impact our success as students. As engineers/architects many of us tend to focus on a solid and defiant answer to a problem, but sometimes you need to step back and look at it from different angles in order to have multiple approaches in solving the problem better. For example: Doing poorly on a midterm is likely to suggest to us that we need to find a study group. Yet this outcome could also have been impacted by our nutrition, sleeping habits, time management, missing out on office hours, etc. This holistic approach has helped me stay focused on the bigger picture as a FEAS student.
