During my first and second year at university, I never really had to plan my class schedule. I simply examined the Academic Calendar<\/a> and took<\/span> the courses that were suggested to me, based on program requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I entered my third year I was confronted with a large list of courses to choose from. This experience compelled me to learn how to effectively plan my schedule in a way that works best for me. I found that a balance between courses that came easier to me, with courses that were more challenging was essential. For me, this balance aids in the implementation of a smooth semester.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always begin by using the Academic Calendar<\/a> as a general guide. Next, I investigate Degree Explorer<\/a>, which I discovered during my journey learning how to effectively plan my class schedule. I find that Degree Explorer<\/a><\/span> makes it easier for me to chart out my full year and see how close I am to completing all of my program requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
