Academic Planning · pattern E, Dates
Give the term's start and end, your total study hours and the days you know you cannot work. The tool returns usable days, a daily hour figure, and stage dates you can put in a calendar.
Working days = (end − start) − days unavailable
Stage dates are proportional milestones across the term, not a rule. Shift them to match your own assessment pattern — a term with an early midterm needs the reading stage compressed.

Almost every student plans the start of a term and the exam period, and almost none plans weeks six to nine, which is where the midterm, the group project and the first major coursework arrive together. Putting proportional milestones on a calendar in week one is the cheapest intervention available, because it makes the collision visible while dropping or rescheduling something is still free.
If the number is not the part you are stuck on, that is what the service is for — a specialist who explains the working, not just the answer.
