The Scholar Planner: Undated Student & Thesis Planner (Hyperlinked PDF)

From first lecture to final defense, in one file. A 143-page hyperlinked planner for your tablet that covers your coursework, your exams and your thesis, dissertation or capstone. It is undated, so you can start in any month and reuse it every term.

Most student planners stop at assignments. Most thesis planners ignore your classes. This one keeps both in the same place, so deadlines, study time and writing time stop competing with each other.

Why you will like it

• Student and thesis in one planner. Plan the week, study for the exam and move your chapter forward without switching tools.
• Fully hyperlinked. 1,798 internal links: tap any tab to jump to a section, tap a week to open it, and use Prev, hub and Next on every page.
• Undated and reusable. Start in any month, restart after any break, and duplicate pages when you need more.
• Dense, not bloated. 143 pages that cover the whole student journey, instead of hundreds of near-identical days.
• Color has a job. Orange for deadlines and priorities, green for your term, gold for studying, indigo for your thesis.
• Made for handwriting. Write, tick and circle with your stylus. Nothing is auto-calculated, so it stays simple and fast.

Two files included

• Landscape PDF (1194 x 834 pt): wide weekly spreads with seven day columns.
• Portrait PDF (834 x 1194 pt): stacked day rows, easy to hold in one hand.

Both files have the same 143 pages and the same links.

How it works

1. Purchase and download your PDF files.
2. Import the file into a PDF annotation app on your tablet, such as GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf or Xodo.
3. Switch to read-only or reading mode to tap links, then switch back to your pen to write.
4. Start with Term setup, then the timetable and term map. Plan your first week.

Compatibility

Frequently asked questions

Is this for undergraduates or for grad students?
Both. The Term, Weeks and Study sections suit any degree. The Thesis section works for a bachelor’s thesis, master’s thesis, dissertation or capstone project.

Do I need to buy a new planner every year?
No. The planner is undated. Duplicate the pages you need, or buy again only if you want a fresh copy.

Can I use it on an Android tablet or Windows?
It is a standard PDF, so it opens in most PDF apps. Whether the links are tappable depends on the app, so check that your app supports internal PDF links.

Can I print it?
It is designed for tablets, but you can print individual pages for personal use.

Will I get both landscape and portrait?
Yes. Both versions are included in your download.
