Hi Everyone - first post!

So I recently have started using iCal and was wondering how does everyone else use it for school?
I have different Calendars for all my courses and input them into iCal, but what about assignments? Where do you guys put those?
What do you use the reminders for?
At the moment I tend to use the week view and put my assignments following the name of the course for instance: International Relations - ESSAY DUE. However, I feel this is not the most efficient and if I happen to go into month view I often time do not even see the assignment or exam.
I also have a calendar in reminders called "school" that I use to remind me of stuff needed to do but that I can't really input such as "return library books" "finish notes on readings" "find essay topic" ect..


So lets hear it! How do you organize your iCal for college?!

I set up a variety of calendars for various things - assignments, library book returns, "other" (school meetings, presentations, etc.) and a few others. I have the calendars set to email me a few days before the event and I keep the email in my inbox (I hate having emails in my inbox so it serves as a persistent reminder).

Do whatever works for you. A calendar can only do so many things so if it's not working for you, another solution might be better.
