Learning Strategies

Assignments

 

You are probably aware that in university there is A LOT of work to do and juggling tasks can, at times, seem like a never ending battle.  Here are some tips to help keep you on track to get your assignments completed on time and with less stress.

·         At the beginning of the semester note when all the assignments, tests and exams are due.

·         Mark them on your calendar and in your day planner

·         Estimate how much time you need to study or complete the assignments (over estimate)

·         For large assignments you want to break them down into small manageable tasks

·         Look at how much each assignment is worth, this will give you an idea of how much time you need to spend on them

·         Make sure you are clear about what format the assignment should be.

·         Clarify with the professor if you are unsure about what is expected

·         Schedule in time to work on assignments

·         Finish ahead of time so that you have enough time for editing or clarifying anything you need to
