5.1 Manage your time

When will your project take place? How long will it last? How often will you work on it? These simple questions can make the difference between a project that flows and one that causes stress.

This lesson helps you place your project in the school calendar, choose between a short project of 2–3 weeks and a longer one, and find the right rhythm: too rare and students lose interest, too often and they feel overloaded. You’ll also see how to balance class work and homework, and which phases usually take longer than expected, like research, creating the product and rehearsals.

Add some extra time to your plan: it’s your insurance!
