How to draw up a schedule

by M. Oelinger

1. Survey

Make a list for each subject of the exams:

How much pages per section (chapter / passage / paragraph)?
How many times can you find a content in the written exam?
How often does the lecturer mention the magic word "exam relevant" (ER) resp. "written exam relevant" (WER)?
How often can you find a content in the exercises (EC)?

Table header: Sum / Subject (Chapter Survey) / pages / Exam Relevant (x 3) / Exercise (x 2)

Last row: Room for check / Total / Room for page total / Room for ER total / Room for EC total
Add up the figures: By the columns, check by the line
Multiply the figures in the column ER and EC and from here on use only the results (black).

Like this:

Sum	Subject	Pages	Exam Relevant (x 3)		Exercises (x 2)
12	Chapter 1 - 1.1	Number	Numb.	Numb. x 3	Numb.	Numb. x 2
14	1.2	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.
6	1.3	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.
29	1.4	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.
1	Chapter 2 - 2.1	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.
12	2.2	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.
12	2.3	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.	Numb.
