Paraphrasing

All students should improve time management because it is critical skill.Timetables are good way to study especially the school days and semester.Also they can spend time for their own works and do social commitments.Rest of the time they can spend time with studying,writing,reading and researching.They should manage the work ,preparing lectures,assignments and thus they can complete and submit their assignments on time.
