Time management

Graduate studenst should carefully manage their time because graduate students may very busy during their study periods. And as a graduate student, I think the graduate students should do the followings to manage time.

Firstly, graduate students should make a time table which includes all the important taskes such as cources, part-time jobs, assignments. The time table should detail enough so that the students will not get confuse when checking the time table. For example, the classes and jobs sections should indicate locations, assignments part should point out deadline.

In additon, the graduate students know clearly what taskes should do first. They should set the taskes with closer deadline to higher priority, they should do team works prior to the indiviual works. This method can help student to finish all works in time. It avoids the problem that one task is not finish when others are done.

Once graduate students are so busy so that they are unable to finsh their taskes. They should try to handle this problem. For example, they can sacrifice their personal time to go to the 24-hours study room before assigenments deadline. And they may explain their situations to professor and request for hand in delay. If all possibiliies have been tried and taskes still not able to finish, the graduate students should give up some less important taskes. Droping classes or ask for part-time job leave may improve their time management.

In short, the time management is a method to balance student's acquisitions and energy. Graduate students should know how to manage time so that they can learn more.
