It's that time again. Youngsters are polishing apples for the teacher, parents are buying school supplies, and university students are wincing at the high cost of textbooks. Fortunately, there are several free open source computer- and Web-based applications students can use for everything from note-taking to scheduling classes projects. These apps won't do your homework for you, but they'll take the sting out of getting it done.

Task Coach - Set tasks to alert or reoccur, sort by attribute, view by list or as a tree, and more. You can also drag and drop emails from Thunderbird to create a new task, and add files, emails, and URLs as attachments. Task Coach is even small enough to be transported on a thumb drive.
