For me, and I’m going to guess at least some other students out there, it often ends up easier using a simple pen and paper / planner than software, because many teachers/profs don’t like you to whip out your laptop when they’re talking, it’s hard to input assignments when one is in class, etc.

I have also been using Omnioutliner to manage assignments. I like that I can put a running list (though broken into pieces because of the 4000 character max) of my assignments onto my iPod. I see this app has that feature, but it has other bells and whistles I don’t need. If you have no system in place this may work, but it seems like for those who already do this won’t fit.

I have been using Assignment Planner; have to check this out.

I downloaded this, but found it unstable- often having glitches and difficult to save information. It is a great idea, but needs to be simplified for the casual user.

I’m not using anything right now, and I think that’s a problem.

I still use Kinkless GTD and OmniOutliner to manage everything. How does this new app fit into this?

I left this same comment over at TUAW, but I think it’s germane here as well.

Although the official site lacks a screenshot, I’ve found Schoolhouse to be another excellent app for homework/assignment management. It is also freeware.

I’ll probably give Task List a look as well; thanks for the recommendation!

According to TUAW, this is open source, right?

[…] Returning back to the original subject of this post, however, I was also pleased to see Task List on the front page over at del.icio.us. But that wasn’t all - this morning, Task List made the front page of both TUAW and 43 Folders. It seems like things are finally calming down, which is good simply because it means I won’t have to respond to so many emails. […]
