“Students need to learn how to manage their time better,” said Jonathan Kermiet, an MSU expert of student health, “they need to anticipate and keep on top of their work load.”

77 percent of students feel stress over academic concerns and 60 percent of students at some time have felt stress to the point of not being able to get work done, according to the Associated Press and MTV College Stress and Mental Health survey.

“The average attention span for a person is about 15 minutes it’s not going to be their advantage to be cramming for a couple hours,” said Kermiet.
