Reviewing drafts

This is the most important step in the whole Assistant flow.

Each item has a type, a title, a time, and the part of the syllabus it came from. That source is there for you to check against — when something looks off, read the original first.

Four types:

Type What it is
Exam Midterms, finals
Assignment Assignments and projects
Due date A deadline
Requirement A course requirement with no specific date, kept for reference
Draft items awaiting review, each citing its place in the syllabus

Three things, in order of how often they are wrong:

  1. The date — especially items the syllabus wrote as “Week 8” rather than a date
  2. The course — that it attached to the right one
  3. The time zone — syllabi rarely state one
Confirming or editing a single draft item

Confirmed items enter your calendar as exams, assignments or due dates. From then on they behave like manual events and can be edited or deleted.

They stay out of your calendar. Leave them, or delete them.
