Stay on top of classes with assignment planner

I've always thought keeping track of school-related courses, assignments and projects was a little clunky with apps like iCal and Entourage, and apparently Logan Rockmore agrees, so he created assignment planner. Answering the call of students everywhere, assignment planner brings a number of classroom-focused abilities to the time management table, including:
* filtering assignments by completion status and type
* course and textbook tracking
* color-coding assignments based on your criteria
* Dashboard widget to quickly monitor assignments
Naturally, a demo is available, but assignment planner's price is just right: $5 scores you a license for this Universal Binary app.
Thanks Ronald

I saw the Grade fix posting the other day, for the app at gradefix.com, that is very impressive. Thanks for posting that. I have never seen a planner that has intelligence. Thanks for pointing me to their site.

Assignment planner looks like a nice program and economical for the college crowd, but I think Iâll stick with gCal for now.

I have even missed a few assignments on iCal just because you have to look a day ahead to see what is due in what classes (if that makes any sense). Thanks.

It's been a big help to me while trying to balance a full-time job and part-time grad school.

If you're looking for something web-based (i.e. so you can pull it up in your school's mac lab as well as at home) check out http://gradefix.com. It also has some slick scheduling algorithms that can boost your grades.
Sweet! The 2.3.1 version works on 10.3.9. Thanks, Logan.
