ACTIVITY 9.2

Creating a Course Record Sheet

Learning skills: recording, managing resources, committing to future

WHY

Time management can be particularly challenging for college students because each course you take comes
with its own priorities, important dates, and deadlines. While you have a syllabus for each of your courses,
it is up to you to somehow take all that individual information and pull it all together. This activity will
give you practice in doing precisely that. You will complete a course record sheet which contains all the
critical dates and deadlines for all your courses.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Learn how to create a course record sheet.
2. Appreciate that the organization of important dates and deadlines is part of effective time management.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

C #1: quality of your course record sheet
Attributes:
a. reflects information for each course you’re currently taking
b. the dates and deadlines for each course are taken directly from the syllabus for that course

RESOURCES

• Course Record Sheet (on the following page)

PLAN

1. Locate the syllabus for each course you are currently taking. Identify, within each syllabus, all important
dates and deadlines for that course.

2. Transcribe those important dates and deadlines from all syllabi onto a single course record sheet, making
use of all applicable rows and columns. You may create your own course record sheet, if you prefer,
but it should be a single page document when printed and contain, at a minimum, the fields shown on
the Course Record Sheet on the following page.
