This presentation is simply meant to be a
helpful tool for you—you do not need to
follow ,it step by step, these are simply my
suggestions.
From time to time the presentation will ask you

make a plan that will make sense for you.
Remember, the better your plan is the more
likely you are to stick to it and the more likely
you are to be successful in class.

No that you are clear
on the expectations,
it’s time for you to
decide what you need
to do first.
Take a moment and list
the activities in order
from the ones you
believe will take you
the most time, to the
ones you believe will
take you the least.
