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).

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.

The thing about these sort of PIM's, is they really only work if you use them all the time - I've found electronic organizers aren't really effective if you only use them every few weeks.

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.

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.
