Assignment Instructions and Grading Criteria: Students will select one (1) of the following assignments to complete the time and stress management unit. Choose the assignment that you feel will help you most in dealing with these issues. Grading criteria is listed with each assignment:

• Keep a log of all of your activities for one week. Note the things you do from the start of your day to the end of your day.
