Uni assignment and semester planner: never miss a due date
Unit outlines give you every due date in week 1, and then they disappear into a folder. Ten minutes putting them all in one planner saves a lot of week-10 panic.
1. Map your teaching weeks
Every uni runs its own calendar, with semesters or trimesters and a mid-term break that doesn't always fall in the same week. Take your dates from your uni's official academic calendar and label each week (Week 1, Week 2, Break, Week 7...). Then "due Week 9" means something.
2. List every assessment
From each unit outline, list the assessment, weighting, due date and week. Sort everything by date across all your units. Clashes jump out straight away, so you can start the second one early.
3. Work out the mark you need
As marks come back, multiply each by its weighting. The mark you need on the remaining work is:
(target total − marks earned so far) ÷ weighting remaining
Example: you want 65 overall, you've earned 40 out of the 60% already assessed, and the exam is worth 40%. You need (65 − 40) ÷ 40 = 62.5% on the exam. Check whether your unit also has a hurdle requirement.
WAM and GPA
Unis calculate WAM and GPA their own way, so use your uni's official calculator for those.
