USING A LONG TERM PLANNER
One way to get an overview of what you have to do is plan the semester ahead of time. Using a semester calendar helps you to remember upcoming tests, assignment due dates, days when classes are cancelled, times you must meet with your mentor, when you need to go to tutoring, when you have an appointment with your advisor, etc. R-MC provides a planner /Fishtales/hand- book to all students, or you can buy or even make your own! The important thing is to use it!
Ways to get started:
-
After the first day of class, enter all important due dates for EACH class in your planner. Enter test dates, quizzes, paper due dates, speeches, etc.
-
Enter club/organization meeting times, work times, and other fixed commitments.
-
Add to your planner as you receive new information.
-
Refer to your planner often to see what's coming up!
