At the beginning of the course your instructor(s) will give you a course outline or syllabus that will let you know the dates of your major assignments and how you will be graded. You can use that information to create a schedule for your semester so you know when you will be busy with school assignments. Then you can look at each week and make a plan for when you will have time to work on your assignments to avoid pulling all-nighters or cramming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about how to create these schedules here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/kpu.pressbooks.pub\/learningtolearnonline\/chapter\/create-a-semester-schedule-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Create a Semester Schedule | KPU OpenTextbook (link)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/kpu.pressbooks.pub\/learningtolearnonline\/chapter\/develop-a-weekly-schedule-that-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Develop a Weekly Schedule That Works | KPU OpenTextbook (link)<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren&#8217;t sure how long some kinds of assignments might take, you can use a tool like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ctl.utsc.utoronto.ca\/assignmentcal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Assignment Calculator<\/a>&nbsp;from the University of Toronto to help you estimate and plan for larger assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember that VIU has a whole set of resources for you on the Learning Matters site!
