Jasmin Mazariegos, 18, center, and her group members discuss a project during a University 101 class at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley on Thursday, Dec. 1, 2022. Arizbeth Cortez felt confident college would be just like high school and she’d ace all her classes. After all, she’d never received anything less than an A grade at Denver’s Bruce Randolph School.
On her first exam at the University of Northern Colorado, however, she got a B. It brought a flood of tears and worries that she didn’t have the skills to meet her expectations. “I ended up with anxiety about exams because I didn’t know how to study very well,” said Cortez, 18, a freshman. The challenge of college can be an eye-opening experience for even the brightest student. But Cortez realized she didn’t know how to manage her time or know how to prepare for a test.
They’re skills she missed while attending high school during the pandemic, when she took her classes virtually for more than a year, rarely had homework, and most of the tests she took were open book. Most of her junior year was spent learning from home and she saw her mom and sister more than peers and teachers.
