The idea for a course to increase academic success, obtain higher grades yet feel less stress, came to me many years ago as school was winding down for our last year of my BSc undergraduate degree. To be honest, I struggled in my first year of university, dropping a difficult course, often feeling behind in my studies and overwhelmed trying balance both my varsity diving commitments and school. When I returned to campus the following fall, I started trying the strategies to be presented in the first Prep4UniCo lecture series.
