How to manage assignment tasks for multiple subject for engineering student

In India, engineering students do not have the freedom to choose how many subjects they may take in a particular semster. This causes influence to their potential to deep dive into the particular subject and focuses on the studies. Addon to that, students may get multiple assignments and practicals that may cause irritation to manage the flow. 

The same thing goes on me. Lets talk about my situation. As I'm am now at the edge of the 6th semester of my B.tech, I got my dead lines to work submission very nearer. In this semester, I got 55+ term work topics including some physical prototypes, presentations, Computer aided designs and drafting, product conceptual sketch designs, Paper works (written assignments), Some numericals problems to solve, and laboratory files. This feels quite a burden some times but if you manage it properly than it's a fun. I used to follow this four steps which, I had found best for dealing with multiple assignments tasks, have a look.

Follow LMS instructions

We got our tasks notification on the Canvas LMS. This may differs from university to university or institution to institution. Some collages don't uses LMS for those students, I advice to prepare a file or notations when someone assigns you a task. However, my university has it's own LMS. Canvas LMS having each and every facility to track the work assigned tasks and other course related modules, but there are some drawbacks. In general, one can use LMS to note down assigned task.

Keep track record

I often prepare the spread sheet to store and track the assigned submission data as below. I divide the assignments and laboratory work  for each and every subjects. I used to use MS Excel for doing this job. Then I put the task number (in form of experiments and assignments) in respective subject from list. I give it colour fill in form of the status and priority like, I fill yellow if work is pending, red if high in priority, grey if not assigned and green if submitted or completed. I also put the remarks for next moves.

  

Make it handy

Generally i put all high in priority files on my desktop environment because whenever you login to your PC you see it first. So it gives you attention to look onto it. Also i put this excel sheet on desktop for handyness of records.

Prioritize your work

My peers are used to most of paper notations for keeping records it's fine but not much effective. Also just making the tables may not help some times specially when it is too much late for submission. You'll feel like confused while seeing each and every field are in yellow fills. I advice you to Prioritize your work in form of flow. It will help you to complete your tasks calmly.
