Thing 16 - Assignment Calculator

I wish I'd paid more attention to this when I was working at MSB and when I was giving bibliographic instruction to students. I can see this being very helpful to help prevent procrastination & to encourage them to get their research done BEFORE they wrote their papers! It's good to have intermediate due dates to get parts of their research papers done.

I'm sure this if helpful for teachers as well, in that they have a very easy way to decide when each section of their assignment should be due. This is a very nifty tool, and I wish it was around when I was in college!
