Getting Organized
What I Have
Learned
This semester has been a very challenging one. I have been
challenged the most in my mathematics classes. Mathematics has not been a tough
subject for me to grasp the concept, but when you mix upper level mathematics
or (four thousand levels) with a lower level or (three thousand levels) it can
be difficult to get the two subject matters confused or mixed up, especially
with them being so similar. Overall, I have learned to remain calm and patient
with these challenging courses. Keeping my composure, and not becoming
overwhelmed with assignments, has taught me I can overcome anything.
What I Wish to
Improve
I wish to learn more about organizing my classes. The binder
method with dividers does not work for me at all. I tried it, and I never keep
up with the binder or keep it organized. Also, I need to figure a way to
organize my syllabi at the beginning of the semester. As the semester becomes
more hectic, it becomes more difficulty to constantly look at each syllabus every
day.
Organizing my Life
Binders never worked for me, either, because I never had a 3-hole punch handy! I always used a different folder for each class--every semester, for 4 years of college, pink was for one of my majors, purple was for the other, blue was for core, and green was for whatever was left. Before the advent of electronic devices and reminders, I relied on post-its on the wall by my desk or notes on a weekly piece of paper taped to the desk itself about my deadlines.
