Built for a twelve-week term. Coursework holds anything with a deadline; revision holds the work that has no deadline until suddenly it does, which is why it is a routine and not a task.

How this term is set up

Two projects: coursework and revision.

Coursework holds anything with a deadline. Revision holds the work that has no deadline until suddenly it does, which is why it is a routine and not a task.

✦ Questions

Student term, answered.

Because it has no deadline until suddenly it does. Anything without a date loses to anything with one, every single week, so revision only survives a term if it is scheduled rather than intended.
Yes. The dates are built around twelve weeks, which is close enough to most semesters that the shape holds; the goal date and project deadlines are worth nudging once, at install, to match your actual timetable.
The timetable says where you have to be, and this says what you owe. Keeping them separate is the point — lectures are fixed and need no planning, while coursework and revision are the parts that quietly need deciding.
