Need a Study Guide?

If the number of episodes of The Office you've watched is more than the number of lectures you've attended, or if despite the ban on parties you still managed to make it to Stillman last night, or if your big achievement of the weekend is watching Betty White on SNL, you might need a study guide.

Thankfully, there are some websites out there that can help.

1. MK2Review: While this resource is limited in its offerings, MK2Review is remarkably accessible. Type in "Harvard" at the home page and MK2Review will store it for future visits to the site. From there, click on one of the popular searches, most of which are categories from the Core Curriculum. Though they've yet to list General Education courses, you can still click "Search" up top and then find other courses manually. For those nervous about tomorrow's Ec 10 final, the study guide for Social Analysis 10: "Principles of Economics" is pretty good, if a bit lengthy.

2. FinalsClub: Integrating study guides with opportunities to form study groups is a great idea that this website uses to its advantage. Sadly, it lacks guides, so unless if you're taking Science A-35: "The Energetic Universe," you don't have much to gain. If you want to try to navigate this site, click on "Course Notes." There are only two pages worth of course listings, so filtering or searching further is probably not worth your time.

3. SparkNotes: We don't really have to tell you about this classic website, which saved many of us from having to read Charles Dickens back in high school. But if you realized that watching the movie for "Pride and Prejudice" doesn't actually save you that much time, SparkNotes may be worth a look-see.

4. Paul's Online Math Notes: While most pre-100-level math finals are over, if you think you'd benefit from a refresher on calculus, differential equations, or linear algebra, Paul Dawkins' guide can help you out.

5. The UC Study Guide Library: Dead on arrival?
