Using the tips and information provided in this section, you will be on your way to a more organized college experience.
Tips
Actively update a calendar, either your phone, web or a physical calendar, with all life events, such as your work schedule, meetings and social plans and activities.
Look at the schedules from all your syllabi and mark due dates and exam dates on your calendar. With these key dates on your calendar and in one place, you don’t have to remember to refer to each class’ syllabus daily, and you can easily identify your busy weeks.
Color code by each class and event type (work, meetings, social, etc.) you have on your calendar to help keep everything straight.
Use a planner or notebook to write down each class, things you need to accomplish before the next class meeting and due dates. The list allows for prioritization among your classes and crossing off tasks on this list ensures you are prepared for each class.
