<em>Post hoc ergo propter hoc </em>is a type of logical fallacy that states "because X happened before Y, then X must be the cause of Y." Therefore, it is a mistake that consists of assuming that correlation implies causation.

A complete predicate must start with a verb. 'The first day of the semester' is a complete subject. It is WHAT the sentence would be about. "With the new books and schedules in hand" is a prepositional phrase, which simply adds information to a sentence.
