Start 3 weeks before the deadlines, doing one per week. Lots of time, no stress, decent results. Most of my Profs outright refused extensions (save for emergencies) cause they say we have 3 months to do it, thats enough time.
Same idea here.....and now that I'm in law school, most, if not all of my classes are 100% final or if it's a seminar a small percentage for participation (which everyone does well on) and an 80% paper (pretty much your mark) and it all comes due at the beginning of december. If you choose to do nothing for 2.5 months and then complain that you have papers and exams all due within 2 weeks and you can't get it done, no one is going to have sympathy for you.

Time management is just as much of a valuable lesson as is the material you're learning.
