- Trello, Google Keep (or other free tools) can help with task management. Here’s an example Trello board for a capstone project (text only version).
Plan your time
- Use your U of M online calendar to plan time to work on the project.
Meet with a librarian
- Find your librarian for help on exploring topics, and finding sources.
- Find a Library course guide related to your research.
Use tools to store and track your project data
