Time Management Skills

For the Time & Task Management Activity above, begin by completing the handout. Students reflect on their own time and task management skills, but also consider what an expert in this area might tell them.  The objective of this exercise is to encourage them to search their metacognitive knowledge to identify what they are doing that may not be effective, versus their knowledge of successful strategies that they know about but may not use. 

Once students have completed the Part 1 of the handout, watch this video. While students watch the video, they complete Part 2 of the handout.  The handouts are then collected and should be returned at the mid-point of the semester.

The Task Management Assignment Instructions above, provide a detailed explanation for the assignment, in addition to a student Word template on which to create the task management plan. Students must include every assignment for every course in the semester. They are not obligated to use the template; it is merely offered as an option for those who do not have some alternate method. Later in the semester, students can complete a final reflection activity about their task management plans.
