Instructions

Once you have (mostly) solidified your course schedule, take some time to build a master syllabus/schedule. Which includes the following information:

All assignments with their due dates
Projects and due dates
Exam and midterm dates
Your instructor's office hours

A more comprehensive tutorial can be found on the following blog, "Organize Charm: How to Create a Semester Assignment Spreadsheet."

This may take you some time to fill out, but having all this important information in one place will help you keep track of everything in the long run. It will help you plan ahead so that you can arrange your work, social, and school schedule around important assignments.

No assignments in your instructor's syllabus? That is violation of your student rights. Please read more about this in the Student Rights section of the University Catalog.

If you are tech savvy, you can sync your spreadsheet with your Google Calendar so that it automatically copies your due dates.
