Planners

When it comes to your classes the two most important things you can do are 1. read the syllabus and 2. keep organized. The syllabus will help you know what and when all your assignments, quizzes, and tests are, while a planner will help you keep it all organized. 

When buying a planner it is important to consider if you plan on carrying it around or leaving it at your desk, if you prefer a horizontal or vertical layout and, most importantly, is the planner really able to meet your needs and organizational process.
