Keeping track of deadlines is the most crucial and exciting part of an online class. Exciting in a way that it is satisfying for fully loaded writers to be able to meet and beat deadlines. Yes, I have made it! However, isn’t it more satisfying and a great relief if a student is not rushing things and cramming to the last minute? If a student seeks to achieve the highest possible grade for an online class, it is essential to give sufficient time and attention to an online class.  That means, preparing for every class requirement ahead of time.

As writers, we are already used to keeping track of deadlines as our clients also have due dates to meet. But admit it or not, some struggle to manage their time especially when other school requirement come in. To avoid missing important due dates, follow these tips:

Use a Monthly Calendar and Hang It On The Wall

As much as possible, do not settle for calendars with small fonts, go for big ones. This makes it easier for the student to see the dates and notes. You can also color important dates to get reminded. If you have the time, you can design your calendar if you find it more helpful.

Use a Digital Timeline System

Use your smartphones and computer to keep track of deadlines. Every smartphone has a Calendar/Planner app in which you can key in upcoming events or tasks and it comes with an alarm or notification to remind you that you have a deadline to attend to. It is best to set the alarm three days before the deadline and have it alarm your every day. For example, if you have a deadline on January 23rd, start the alarm on January 20th  and end it on January 23rd. In that way, you’ll be reminded to attend an upcoming online class activity.  Aside from the Calendar/Planner app in smartphones, Google Calendar is also a great tool to help you manage your time and schedule.

Check Dashboard When You Are Online

Hanging a calendar on the wall and making use of a digital timeline system will work best if you’ll go through your student’s dashboard every time you are online. In this way, you will be once reminded that there is a due date coming.

Even though we are fully aware of the fact that we are handling online classes and someone relies on us to give them high grades, it is still important for us to use tools to keep us reminded of various tasks and events.
