Time Management Skills

Many students are inexperienced in planning for grocery shopping, cooking, and exercising, and as a result, develop poor health. Similarly, students can be unsure of how to schedule enough time to complete assignments, attend online classes, and study for tests, and as a result, fail courses. The Time Management Skills tutorial is designed to help students manage their time, make healthy choices, and prioritize their tasks so they can succeed with online learning.
