Managing your Homework
Learning how to make time for your homework.
As the first weeks go by, your teacher gives you homework. And more homework. In short, there is a lot of homework. Some of it is for the next day, and some for the next week. Or you sign up for an activity that you do in class three weeks from today.
Some homework has three or more steps. How can you remember it all? When can you even do it? Once again, the key is organization:
1) On your phone, go to the calendar and put an event for the day when the HW is due.
2) Add a reminder before the due date (a day before or even more, if the HW is long)
3) Every day, you need to know what happens the next day, or this Thursday, or the next week.
4) If you miss a class, make sure you check the class Blackboard. There will be HW.
Well, that’s helpful, but how can you do all of the homework? Do you need to sit at a desk for hours every day? Maybe not!
1) After the first HW, you will find out how long some things take: 30 minutes? More? Less?
2) Set a time each day when you do HW.
3) Don’t leave all HW for the weekend or the day before the HW is due. It will be too much. Do a little every day.
4) Save your work on your computer or your Google drive.
5) Submit your work only when you’re 100% sure it is finished.
