Part Three: My Weekly Plan
While every term and course are different, it’s likely that each week will bring new course readings, activities, and
assignments to complete. Knowing what you now know about strategies for success, habits of mind, and approaching your
coursework, what steps will you take each week to ensure that you are effectively approaching your coursework?
Remember to consider strategies for planning ahead, reflecting on your work, and asking for help.
Your plan for approaching your coursework can take the form of a weekly checklist, a labeled agenda for each part of the
week, or whatever other format will be most useful for you as you move forward. Create your plan in the space below.
To begin with, I will prepare a checklist for all the assignments, course readings and activities assigned to me in a week. I
will then, spread the activities across various days of the week say, Monday to Saturday and relax on Sundays. The study
hours for the weekends will be shorter than those of the weekdays. All assignments issued to me will be delivered at least
24 hours before the deadline to avoid last minute rush.

checklist that you can review when beginning a new research or writing project. How will you ensure that you are writing
with integrity and making time to plan ahead, get help, and check your work? What specific steps do you need to take in
order to cite your sources effectively and appropriately? Be specific and consider all of these factors as you create your
checklist.
1. I will break down the questions into small bits that are understandable.
2. I will list down all the deliverable of a given assignment to ensure that I have met all the expectations.
3. I will prepare a draft of my assignment.
4. I will proofread the assignment with an aim of correcting word omissions or misused words.
5. I will cite all the parts of my assignment that I used other people’s work to avoid plagiarism.
