It’s important to keep up with the work which was supposed to be happening as this could be work which might affect your final grade or come up in assignments towards the end of the year. One way to do this would be to do work when you otherwise would have timetabled hours. It is likely that a lot of the information will be up on canvas and if not then independent research is the way to go.
Doing work in your uni room or flat can seem hard and demotivating so maybe think about the study spaces set up on campus such as the student union or the libraries. Just because strikes are happening doesn’t mean that students can’t cross the picket line. No lecturer or teacher wants to make the student suffer so it is important to keep motivated and doing your work.
The strikes may seem like a good chance to get the well-needed lie in but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be keeping up. If getting up later is really important to you then try and make sure you do your work later on in the day and into the evening. It is a chance to see how you work most productively.
Of course, this may mean that you miss out on a lot of socialising so try to meet up with some friends too. Maybe you could suggest a study date with some people on your course to keep you motivated and to help each other along the way. Or perhaps having more spare time will allow you to meet up and go to pub gardens during the day as the weather begins to brighten.
Remember that you don’t need to miss out on vital information on your course and most office hours will be going ahead as long as they’re not on strike days so try to make the most out of that. Also, make sure to email your lecturers with any questions which will hopefully be replied to outside of strike days.
