Two pages at the front hold a timetable: a time column down the left, then Monday through Friday across the top. Filled in once, at the start of the year, it settles where a student is supposed to be before anyone has to ask where they actually were.
The year unfolds across a hundred and six week pages, two to a spread, so an assignment set on a Tuesday and due the following Monday stays inside the same view. Ten project pages break from that weekly rhythm for the one piece of work that runs longer than seven days, and eighteen more are simply lined, for whatever the week and the project pages between them still left out.
It is built to the academic year rather than the calendar year, because a student's work does not reset itself every January. Twelve month pages still divide the block, one to a month, in the run the diary actually covers.

Questions
What is on the two timetable pages?
A time column down the left, then Monday through Friday across the top, filled in once at the start of the year.
Does it follow the calendar year or the academic year?
The academic year. A student's work does not reset every January, and the diary is built around the run it actually covers rather than a fixed calendar date.
How are the week pages laid out?
Two pages to a week, a hundred and six pages in total across the diary.
What are the project pages for?
Ruled space set apart from the weekly pages, for a piece of work that runs longer than seven days.
Is it dated?
Yes, page by page, for the year it is printed for.
All men are made one for another: either then teach them better, or bear with them.
