Two of the best organizational helps I can offer is to link from here to pull down a copy of Education Equation's Daily Planner and Class Note's Management System . Using the daily planner, you will have a list of all homework assignments, reports to do and the due dates of your classwork. The Class Notes Management System will help you identify what was covered in class. Your Teacher or Prof. will cover the most important items in classroom lectures and discussions. Most of the test items are covered in classroom discussion and lectures.
Time management is the single most contributor to school stress.
If you ever feel pressured, overwhelmed or just need someone to talk to, go to Education Equation's Dr. Tharp during chat room hours. You can email them during non chat room hours. Many times, you need someone to talk to. Someone who can hear you out and you don't have to worry about a critical or angry outburst. Dr. Tharp will take your email and respond anonymously in their Education Equation columns.
