Signing up for Classes

* Get a listing of the classes offered.
* Make sure you get the classes you need that are only offered a specific times of the year. Your counselor can give you this information.
* Before signing up for a class ask other students who have had the class what to expect.
* Ask which professors are the best and why.
* Pick the best classes, professors, in the times you want them.
* Check the class schedule to see when finals are for each class you are taking. Make sure that two or more of your heavy class do not have back-to-back finals. Having finals on separate days gives you a chance to study in between each final for the next one coming up. Back-to-back finals blows your mind.
* Sign up early to get your selection of classes.

Calendaring & Planning

* Find out how long the term or semester is.
* Get a calendar showing a whole month for each of the months of the term/semester .
* Usually a class syllabus is issued the first day of class. This usually lists the major assignments and their due dates.
* Mark on your calendars the dates that each of the assignments are due from each class.
* Look to see if there are places where there are two many items due all at the same time. If they exist, then look for empty spots on the calendar before the crowded due date, in which you can arbitrarily move assignments so you and get them done way before they are due.
* Move the type of assignments will not involve other people or are tied to knowledge you must have to complete the assignment.
* Often research for papers can be done well in advance of the paper’s due date. By taking advantage of small blocks of time as they become available early in the term/semester the work can get done a bit at a time.
* To make sure the work gets done, set up a work schedule for each item to be done. Set your own due dates in advance of the professor’s, so if anything happens, the assignment can still get done in time.
* As new assignments are given throughout the term/semester write them in immediately on the appropriate calendar sheet and calendar how you will get the work done for the assignment.
