'STUDY WITH PIMA' YOUTUBE LIVE STREAM SESSIONS
“Study with Pima” is a way for Pima students to not feel so alone when studying from home. Join the session to have a virtual study buddy (1,5 hour or 2 hours). Although you will not communicate with the PCC student, having them on your screen can offer a way to practice good study habits. This session uses the Pomodoro Technique. Let’s help motivate each other! How do I use “Study with Pima?”
Play this video while you are working on your coursework or studying for tests/exams. Treat this like a study buddy and just sit down and study with us!
Please RSVP on PimaEngage page.
