Schoolhouse 2
School is a lot of work as it is without having to worry about how you're going to remember that you have an essay due next Monday for your Sub-Aquatic Fiber Arts class. Some people swear by the tried-and-true paper notebook, while others can't cope without their fancy PDA. While there are a few software options for those hardcore geeks (like me) who take their computers everywhere with them (including class), Schoolhouse is far-and-away my personal favorite. In addition to an almost totally redesigned interface, version 2 introduces some really handy new features including the ability to attach files to assignments, sub-tasks for multi-step assignments such as research papers, and a way to store all your class notes directly inside Schoolhouse. Schoolhouse is available as a free download– all the developer asks is if you enjoy and use the software, that you consider donating (unfortunately, the donate link is currently down).[via Lifehacker]

Ben, Bill doesn't connect Google and Schoolhouse. He only states that he likes Google a lot, because they do everything he needs is right there :)
Personally, I love Schoolhouse, it's brilliant!
@Bill: Wait, what does Google have to do with Schoolhouse?
They're not even in close to the same market.
@Jon: I know somebody that used Assignment Planner for a year and enjoyed it: http://assignmentplanner.burgundylogan.com/index.php
She thought it was worth the $5.00
Having tried many of the options available. I found Schoolhouse to be the best, in more way than one.

I'm a college student and use this app every day. I just found it to work very well for me. I just make sure at the beginnning of each semester to set it up and use it everyday.

This is why I love google so much - everything is right there. BTW, I'm not knocking Schoolhouse, I think it's a fantastic product, I just find it's sort of a "all or nothing" type of thing.
It took me good amount of time to enter all my class information, but I really believe it was worth it. Schoolhouse shows assignments not only in a list form but also in a monthly view which conveniently lets see me how much more time I can use to procrastinate. Like everything else on your mac, this program excels in its subtle details.
I hate planners, they've never worked for me, but I can handle this one.
Go Logan Go!
Schoolhouse Rocks!
As cool as these apps are, I can't find enough time to get them all set up and such with all of my coursework.
