so grad school pro-tip. In the first week of classes sit down with each syllabus and download all the articles, organize them by folder with the corresponding section title, and put the citations in to your citation manager. It's a lot of work, but your future self will thank you
and while you're sitting with those syllabi, put all of the due dates in your planner. Also get a big monthly planner and put the months of the semester on the wall with all the deadlines written on it so you can see it. My Butler peeps will remember this from Cara Cima lol.
and if you really want to be prepared, go ahead and make a list of all of the assignments that are due in the semester, including the weekly memos, and put them in a sequential list and hang that on your wall too. It'll help you see how much work you actually have to do.
This also helps you get familiar with the syllabus and helps you get a sense of what you're supposed to learn in the course. Especially if you read the abstract of the articles while you download them.
