Organising the year ahead. Happy 2012!
Now that the festive season has ended, it's back to routine! Many students are overwhelmed at the thought of organising their time to study, take classes, prepare projects and so forth. Organisation is the keyword when planning study time, tuition lessons, exam dates or revision periods. January is a busy time of the year both for tutors and students so we have collected a few online resources to help manage your time, take notes, prepare projects and generally plan your busy year ahead.
