Yes! Remember that you have the entire semester to complete your course load. It may look overwhelming when you look at a semester's worth of assignments on your course syllabi, but you can use a few simple management techniques to keep yourself on track through the semester.

Look at your weekly schedule and schedule blocks of time that you can set aside each week to read and complete assignments. If you treat classwork like a job, you can make sure you're putting the hours you need into each week.

Reading assignments, papers, and presentations can get overwhelming, especially if you're taking more than one class. Get yourself a calendar or weekly planner, and write in specific tasks you plan to complete during your study time each week. Use your course syllabi to fill in exam dates and due dates for important papers and projects.

Find a quiet space to do your reading. You'll find that it's easier to focus and comprehend your subject material without lots of interruptions and noise. Sometimes this means going to a library, a coffee shop, or your room.
