Things To Continue

One of the things that we have been focusing on in my classes is taking notes.  We have spent countless hours on taking notes in college and what I have learned is that you need to improve your note taking skills to the next level.  One of the things we have learned in our class is the Cornell note taking system where you include not only the basic notes like dates and stats and vocab, but you put those and your write down a summary of the notes in a paragraph.  You also put together some test prep questions on the side so that will help you develop questions for your test and will make it easier to study.  Taking college level notes is very important to do because it’s not just about the facts you have to ask yourself questions and comment on notes.  A useful technique that I have been using in my schedule is managing my time here at Southern.  I have learned to put school work into my daily routine and it is working out very well with all the things that I have been doing and keeping me busy which I cannot say is a bad thing.  I think that to keep my goals still in play as the semester goes on I have to keep my mind focused on school and make sure that it is my number one priority.  If I don’t focus on it I will be very lost in my classes and it will not be good for me.  I just have to manage my time wisely still and I put a lot of effort into my work.
