Ready to go? One of the most crucial aspects of being successful in college is being in control
of your time. Below are some sites that will help you complete the assignment
on the Itinerary. You may also want to do a google
search for time management. If you do so you will want to be especially
cautious about the reliability of the site.

Itinerary
Choose three places to
visit from the list above. Most of the sites will contain information about
many things students need to know. Keep in mind your task is to gather information
about time management.Keep a travel journal
( sheets of paper you will turn in as assignment) to evaluate each
site you visit as you look for what you consider the best advice for you.
What should your journal entries look like? You
may wish to print this and use as your journal. When you finish
with your three sites, you will be asked to make a "postcard" to
send to a friend.See directions at the bottom of the page.
