- 2. These activities take at most 5 minutes and you can quickly get them out of the way to help you. Check class schedule to see what will be covered Read Instructor emails and watch videos (if online class) Picture walk of book chapter Download any student files for chapter See how much homework is assigned and commit to work on one piece of homework a day – write down the day starting on Thursday You can have a checklist of these activities and commit to have them done by Wednesday noon every week.
- 3. Complete projects assigned for the class, one a day, working in short periods of time and saving your work frequently or Setup your own schedule but commit to complete the tasks by your personal due date. Monday of week when homework is due: Email any questions you might have to the instructor on homework due that week.
- 4. Chapter projects/videos should be done first, so that there is an understanding of the material Homework that is due first should be started early If something comes along that affects your timeline, make sure to have a time every week that you can set aside for catching up in case you need it Sometimes, you can only realistically do 3 or 4 items a day.

- 6. I struggle with my time management as well, as a graduate student I attempt to make sure that the workload fits the requirements of the course, so the work is doable Sometimes writing a to do list and jotting down deadlines helps me, and I can cross out items once completed I cried on my first programming exercise. I had been for hours trying to figure it out…surprisingly enough, after that break, things worked out. I am not suggesting that you cry whenever something happens…just saying, our brains need a break – see slide #5…
