PLANNING A SCHEDULE FOR THE COURSE Š‡ ‘•– •‹‰‹ϐ‹…ƒ– ƒ•’‡…– ‘ˆ ƒ ‡ˆˆ‡…–‹˜‡ •–—†› ’Žƒ ‹• –Šƒ– ‹– ‹• ƒ ™”‹––‡ ’ŽƒǤ ™”‹––‡ •–—†› plan is more concrete than one that you simply draw on from memory. So, when creating your plan, write out a day-by-day schedule for reviewing all of the materials that are necessary for success in the course. This written format will provide a clear and dependable guide for study. The schedule should be prioritized according to the time that you need to devote to each of the different subjects, based on the amount of time that you have. Consider how you can plan your study time so that it corresponds with the course topics. In addition to assignments given in class, you may wish to devote extra study time to your particular areas of weakness. The “to do” list you created based on your Student Summary report is a good place to start. Use the calendar template that follows to develop a plan of action with your teacher, determining what topics you will study each day and allotting time to study those sections of the book and complete the relevant exercises. Remember that it is not necessary for you to do everything all at once. Instead, picking a few things to focus on each week will help you to better manage your time. •‡ –Š‡ ˆ‘ŽŽ‘™‹‰ ‡’–›…ƒŽ‡†ƒ” ƒ• ƒ –‡’Žƒ–‡ǡ ϐ‹ŽŽ‹‰ ‹ ›‘—” ƒ••‹‰‡–• ƒ† •–—†› ’Žƒ ˆ‘” each day.
