These can be on your closet door, or they can be kept in your wallet or the front of your notebook. Make it a habit to check your calendars and daily lists each morning. To figure out time to set aside for long-term projects, count backward from the due date and estimate how much time will be needed. Always allow more time than you think you will need. Keep the syllabus for each course in a place where it won't get lost.
Some students paste the syllabus inside the front cover of their course notebook.
Schedule a time before a lecture, discussion or recitation class to review notes so that classroom time is relevant. Grab a few minutes after class to review notes. The more immediate your review, the better the chance for remembering. Think of unscheduled time-and use it. Summarize lecture or reading notes on index cards or tapes.
