Syllabi Spread Sheet

 In this post I am going to show you how to take all your syllabi together and create ONE set of papers with all your due dates, teacher's office hours, and teacher emails.

Once you have all your syllabi you need to set aside about 30 mins to get this done (may be longer or quicker depending on how fast of a typer you are).

The first thing you want to do is start writing down all the dates that you see.

Second, pick a color for each class because we are going to color coordinate the classes. Once you picked out the colors take the syllabus for your first class and start filling in the dates with the corresponding color. Do this for the rest of your classes using your chosen colors. Also, make sure you have left space between the dates that way it is easier to see and the dates won't run together.

Now the spread sheet I have created is semesterly. If you wanted you could separate the dates by month or even weekly. This was my first time using a spreadsheet so I did mine semesterly. Next semester I am going to divide mine up weekly because I feel like it will be more suitable for me. 

Once you have all the dates filled in, look it over one more time to make sure you didn't miss anything. Once you have done this go to the very last page and make an office hours/email section. Continue using the class's corresponding colors as you type out each of the dates/hours and room numbers. Make sure you also include your professor's names.

I feel that this is a very convenient system because I'm not looking through binders to find my syllabus and then flipping through pages to find emails and due dates. This systems allows me to keep all my class information in one place for quick and easy access and I cross of the dates as they go by. Trust me when I say you want to do anything you can to make things easy in collage. 

I keep my spreadsheet tacked on my desk and my roommate (I made on for her) keeps hers in the front of her binder in a clear insert.
