organizational skills that are necessary to accomplish a multitude of tasks not

University of Minnesota Assignment Calendar
This is a gem for organization a writing or research project. It is my favorite
site. The student plugs in the starting date, the due date, the subject area and
the program calculates every step of the project and places it into a series of
steps with the date for each and tells the student exactly what is to be done. Plus,
it presents links to offer explanations and suggestions on the particular parts
of each step. I believe it is the most valuable study aid on the internet.
It is the simplest thing to use. Go to the site and plug in a due date and subject
and see what happens. It is amazing.
