Assignment cards for students, a 3 x 5 and 4 x 6 homework card system

Assignment cards give high school and college students an easy habit: each piece of homework gets its own index card, sized exactly 3 x 5 in or 4 x 6 in, rather than a squeezed line in a busy planner. Across 27 undated pages you get eight student card designs in both sizes with crop marks, lined and dot backs to match, three study strategy cards and tabbed dividers for This week, Upcoming and Done.

How assignment cards make homework feel manageable

The moment homework is assigned, write it on a card with the class, the deadline, the time you expect it to take, the steps and its progress from not started through to turned in. File it under This week or Upcoming. Every Sunday, one weekly card shows the days ahead at a glance, and when a test is close the exam card counts down ten days with review topics and a confidence check.

Long projects get a milestones card with a deadline for each stage, reading assignments get a daily page plan, and the grade card keeps each class's scores and current grade in sight. Nothing is dated and the cards stand on their own, so start in any term and reprint just the cards you reach for.

Who these homework cards are for

• High school students whose homework notes end up spread across random planner pages
• College students balancing several classes, syllabi, readings and project deadlines
• Students who would pick index cards and a little box over a thick planner
• Anyone going back to school or taking an online course who wants a flexible, simple system

Design, sizes and printing

• Minimal and elegant: white cards with soft blush pink touches that save ink
• Roomy margins, so a home printer will not cut anything off
• Precise trim sizes marked with crop marks. The 4 x 6 in card (10.2 x 15.2 cm) prints two to a page and the 3 x 5 in card (7.6 x 12.7 cm) prints three to a page, on either US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) or A4 (210 x 297 mm)
• Undated, so any term or semester works
• A card system rather than a full page student planner: each assignment has a card of its own
• When you print double sided and flip on the long edge, the lined and dot grid backs match the fronts
• Best results: actual size printing, no page scaling, on 200 to 250 gsm card stock (65 to 90 lb), then a paper trimmer along the crop marks
