Schoolwork
The Palm OS program 'Schoolwork' allows students to easily keep track of all of their homework, marks and their timetable. Its simple interface makes the program easy to use, so navigation won't be an issue!
(Also available in Dutch 🇳🇱)
Features
- You can store an unlimited* amount of homework items. Homework is added easily by picking a date, selecting the class and filling in a description.
- You can view homework in three different modes: by day, by week and by month.
- Marks are stored per subject, with a weight (example: a test counts 1 time, an exam 5 times) term and description. Average marks are calculated on the fly, and will be rounded to one decimal.
- You can easily list your marks for a particular subject.
- Reports, on which your average marks are listed, can be generated per term on the fly.
- Timetables are filled in rapidly - you just choose a subject in the grid and enter a room number. Names of teachers are linked automatically.
- You can view your timetable per day or per week!
- You can export and import CSV backups of your homework and marks.

I've been looking all over for the perfect organizer for school and this is it! It won't let you down.
Excellent aplication! Love it! Great for students
Perfect!
This is the type of app Ive been looking for ever since I bought my palm. Dont be put off by the translation in the description of the program because this is a first class application, which I cannot fault. If you are a student who owns a palm, download this app now.
I have tried several "school" programs. This one is definitely one of the better ones. Unfortunately Dutch only (for me no problem :^)). Maybe if the author (Aaron) gets enough requests, he will do an english version.
Recommended!
Good app. I hope that the english version comes soon.
