Learning reading, task/time management, note taking, problem solving, and exam prep strategies has helped me tremendously in my courses. Having to choose one specific method from one of these strategies is very difficult but the Fritter Finder method which is a time management strategy is a method I use every week. Even though I am an auditory learner this method has helped significantly.
Next week I have a math test in MAT 183 and an Industry report due in SOM 122. These assignments account for a major percentage of my final grade in these courses. I decided to choose these courses to plug into my Fritter Finder schedule this upcoming week. MAT 183 and SOM 122 require an ample amount of time to complete the given assignments, These assignment need to be organized efficiently in order to to be successful in these courses.
This strategy was extremely effective, by being able to write specific time periods on a during the week to complete my assignments and lay out study periods I was able to comprehend my assignments. Also being able to look at a block schedule that has the times I am completing the work highlighted, helps catch my attention to follow the schedule.
As a auditory learner this strategy doesn't exactly fit my learning style but I have learned how organize my assignments into a schedule that helps understand and comprehend the work. The materials used were my block class schedule, a highlighter and my schedules for SOM 122 and MAT 183. This strategy is perfect for me and will encourage me to complete my work efficiently thereby providing me with the opportunity to earn the best possible grade in my courses.
I chose this strategy because after reviewing all the strategies we have learned in CLS 105, this method stood out to me and was the one that I was using consistently. Fritter Finder has given me the best chance at completing my work in a timely fashion so I'm not studying or doing all my work the night before an assignment is due or test is given.
It is good that this strategy works for you although it is probably better for a visual learner like me. Even if you are an auditory learner this is definitely something that is still beneficial. You seem to be using this consistently which is good. It is giving you the chance to complete your work efficiently which I am sure is leading to better grades.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear you found this strategy useful. It doesn't really work for me as much because I think it requires too much extra time just devoted purely to creating a visual chart, and usually I just want to jump right into the projects. Interesting how you're an auditory learner, yet you still found this method useful. I like the documentation, you made a very colorful and visually appealing schedule. I think even if this didn't work for you, many others might find this strategy useful.
