Study Strategy Swap

Residents are given two index cards or sticky notes. On the first card, they write down one study strategy, habit, or academic routine that has helped them succeed (for example: spaced repetition, color-coded notes, study playlists, office hours, or teaching the material to someone else). On the second card, they write down one academic challenge they currently face, such as procrastination, staying focused, test anxiety, or managing multiple deadlines.

I will collect and redistribute the cards so they are shared anonymously, then facilitates a group discussion by reading strategies aloud and inviting residents to connect them to the challenges listed.
