  BC Semester Calendar

This one page calendar provides you with an at-a-glance look at the full semester at Bakersfield College.  Suggestion for students:  Sit down with your course schedule and fill in the calendar with assignments that will take more than one day to complete then complete it with personal commitments.  This will give you a heads-up on the "problem areas" this semester so that you can plan ahead to be successful.

  Course Records/ Study Skills Hints (Divider Tabs)

These Course Record dividers provide a location for you to list important information about your courses as well as keep a running list of assignments and grades for these courses.  Five pages of study skills hints are also provided to print on the back of each divider, providing a method to organize all of your courses and keep track of returned work. 

  Analyze Your Schedule

Keep track of what you do for an entire week, and then use this handout to analyze how you are using your time, where you are wasting time, and develop a plan to make improvements.

  Long-term Project Plan

This work-plan allows you to determine the requirements of a long-term project and set up a personal schedule to complete it by the due date.
