- Begin early
It is never too early to start. By starting early you have more time
to finish the project, and you guarantee yourself adequate time to do
a good job.
- Determine the time commitment. Find out:
- How long the presentation or paper should be
- How hard the material is to research
- How much time you have to complete the project
- Break the project down into manageable sections.
This table of tasks includes a column "done by" date to help
you organize yourself and the project.
