If the list of assignments and exams is rather lengthy, you can drop the class (j/k), or make a dedicated spread like this to make sure you don’t miss on any of your deadlines. (via @fickle_fern)Semester overview
In future log fashion, you can set up the semester overview with mini monthly calendars at top, then add the appropriate assignment and quiz or exam dates underneath. Color coding with Zebra mildliners* or pretty planner stickers will help you see what kind of event or task it is. (via @bujo.diaries)Bullet journal attendance tracker
