I think a student should approach this differently than a real 
programmer,would.  Try to get some positive feedback early on and build up a 
feel for programming and the language.  IMO, a  good starting point would be 
to write a routine (function) that displays a 31 day calendar that starts on 
Sunday.  When you have this working to your satisfaction modify it to start 
on different days (Monday and so on)  and then print differing numbers of 
days. Then work on the input from the user and do the leap year stuff next 
to last.  Letting the user have several runs would be dead last.  This will 
take quite a few hours for a student, don't be dismayed, it's a lot of fun. 
You should have one major goal at all times, but the goal keeps changing.

None of this written in stone, thus the IMO proviso.
