You’ve fallen behind, or are failing a class halfway through the semester. How do you turn things around?

2 Steps to Re-Set in the Middle of the Semester

1. Review your planning process.
   • Do you have important deadlines written down in your planner? If not, spend some time doing this for all of your classes.
2. How do you get caught back up to the syllabus and pacing guide?
   • What date do you want to be caught up by? (This date may vary by teacher preference, the exam date, type of class, etc.)
   • How many assignments are you behind?
     • *Multiply large assignments such as projects or papers by 5 (because they will take 5 times as long to complete).
     • Total number of assignments / # of days you have to catch up (including weekend days and holidays) = # of assignments you need to complete per day

For example: You are behind 10 assignments, including 1 project.

9 (regular assignments) + (1 x 5) = 14

You have 7 days to catch up.

14 / 7 = 2 assignments per day

*Talk to your teacher if you need help figuring this out. Questions? comment below

Best of luck! You can do this!
