This installment in the @5min Video "series" is on Prepping for the Upcoming Semester.

Description: In Stephen Covey's Time Management Matrix, the sweet spot is Quadrant Two - Important, but not Urgent tasks and activities. This quadrant is particularly important for planning and preparing to help avoid spending too much time in Quadrant One - Urgent and Important. To help mitigate time spent "putting out fires", spending some time in planning and preparing mode can be truly helpful. I did a quick survey of SC&I full-time and part-time instructors to find out what they did to prep for an upcoming semester. I also reached out to other instructional technology staff at Rutgers to get their input. This video contains an overview of these items. Below you will also find a link to the checklist that I hope you'll find helpful (please feel free to send me ideas on edits and additions).
