Two of the primary components of FYS Course for Business Discipline are Time Management and Budget Planning. Presenters will share their integrative pedagogy and practice to approach the connection between Time Management and Budget planning through a series of unique and interconnected assignments and practices that pave the way to effective and efficient time and budget planning for students.

For many students this course provides the first exposure to practical steps toward getting the best use of time by actually timing their everyday activities. By creating a series of their own daily and monthly budgets, students are provided the opportunity to learn about the gap between what they thought they spend on their monthly expenses compared to what they actually spend and subsequently be mindful of the causes of the variance.

Presenters will also share their unique follow up assignments, course activity and students’ work.

The audience will get an opportunity to think about how they can incorporate an activity to engage students in personal time and budget planning.
