TIME MANAGEMENT - ORGANIZATION FOR TIME - FEEDBACK SHEET

Note to Course Manager

Each candidate should have completed a daily to do list using Lakein's six factor process. Check them to ensure that the sheets are reasonable, and workable documents.

Have them describe to you how each of these steps contribute to more effective management of time.

When you are satisfied that the candidate can work in this framework, refer them to the appendix in which time management tips are presented for their information. You should stress the fact that although there are no tests, the material should be read in the interest of assisting them in becoming more efficient.

If you then feel that the candidate has successfully completed the individualized-instruction course, and has met all the requirements of the Course Training Standard, certify the candidate on the course control document, have them sign it, and forward the document through channels.
