<p>It's not even halfway into the semester yet, and already I have forgotten about two college assignments. The first was when I forgot to bring my clicker for our quiz on the smartboard, but there was technical difficulties so I was very lucky that the professor just gave everybody full points for the quiz. The second time I forgot to do a short writing assignment, but the professor didn't pick it up from everybody at the end of class.</p>
<p>I know college does not have a lot of assignments compared to high school and that everything counts, but what do you guys do when you legitimately forget about doing/bringing an assignment? I do use a planner, but even then sometimes I forget to check it thoroughly. I really don't want to stress out already in my first semester of college...</p>
<p>some professors let you turn stuff in late, some for a lower grade of some sort, some with no penalty if theyre nice and its the first time. My advice, is to tell the truth (that you forgot) and ask if you can still turn it in. Most professors I have had will let you, and it doesnt hurt to ask</p>
<p>Use an electronic planner/calendar, then set it to alert/email you the day before somethings due. It makes it a lot easier, since the fewer assignments makes it harder to check your planner as often as you should.</p>
<p>Put your things in your backpack the night before…cliche as we’re told in high school to do it, but I still do it in college before I go to bed.</p>
