Best diary / planner you'll find!
This is a really great diary because it combines a diary and a to-do list. I used it for my PGCE course, and finally was the organised student / person I have struggled to be! I really like the time/location section to the diary, so I could write when and where all my lectures were. At the side of each day was also a to do list, so I could write myself notes such as return library books etc. I found that I used my time more efficiently as I could see when I had a gap to meet someone or go to the library etc. I really wish I'd had this diary when I was an undergraduate, as I think it would have made life much easier!

The pages at the front were practical(converting measurements, washing machine symbols etc). There was space at the back for important information or general notes. I found it handy to have the details of the core reading books so I could regularly check for them at the library (you know, the ones that are always on loan because some organised person got there first!).

I found this really helpful, and am actually going to buy it again this year, even though I'm not a student any more, because the normal diaries just don't work for me. I've told my sister about it, who has also found it very helpful and practical. The Study Guide you can get with it is also goodif you are not that great at studying/time management, and its the sort you can dip in and out of when you need to, instead of feeling you have yet another tome to read. A must if you are a student!

An essential part of any students inventory
I used this student planner throughout university and continue to do so now, despite being a graduate. I found it extremely useful for planning my timetable and for keeping abreast of assignment deadlines. It is clear, concise and value for money!

best student planner i've had
I ordered 2 of these yesturday for me and my fella and they came today. I am so impressed.

Doing medicine i can see the periodic table comming in very handy :o)

it comes with a ruler and the whole thing looks like it will make it to the end of term without falling apart.

a few bits of the context are -year planner/ calander for 2010/ uni/college details and useful numbers/ tutor contact details/ time management/ local services and quick telephone numbers/ revision and exams/ uni speak/ english spelling and grammer rules/ keyboard shortcuts/ alcohol limits (like this one) / addresses, birthdays and events/ to do/ managing your money/ tips for study/ library book return dates/ exam and assignments deadlines/ record of marks/ map of the underground
plus others

there is loads of room on each page to write notes, appointments, deadlines etc.

if your studying this comming year, add this to your list for sure.
