1.Chucking tasks:
Because I used to cram before exam and write paper the night before the due date so I want to use chucking tasks to finish my assignments before the deadline and have enough time to prepare other courses.
First, I had a look at the syllabus and found out what I can do for chucking tasks.
Exams and Paper are given due dates so I can apply chucking tasks on those two. However, hws are not so I can not do it with this strategy.After that, I figured out the topics we are going to do for every exam and did the topic outline for exams. For paper, I thought up with the processes I should do to write a paper and typed them on.
Finally, I added specific dates for each lines and flags before each task so I can put a check after I done with each. Here is the chucking-tasks list:
2.Building blocks to finish:
I did building blocks because I am a visual/ Kinesthetic learner and the highlights and colors makes me motivated to learn.
After I done with chucking tasks, building blocks is much easier for me. I just found the dates I need to do those tasks on my monthly calendar and highlighted them.
Here is the results:
Now I think I get the overall picture of the assignments and exams for HOA105 this semester and I feel that I am more confident with that course!
What you did seems more organized than what I did. I mean, mine is a little mess and I write them done.Building blocks to finish is a really useful strategy and I love the feeling of controlling my time.
ReplyDeleteI like the visual for chunking the task, it really gives you a sense of what you need to get done without leaving any topic out. Seems like a great way to keep in mind what you need to study!
