Math:

 

 

I did many things in math. And because this was an honors class, we did more than most people. And by more, I mean work....harder work. Transitioning to an honors class for me was rather hard. I was used to everything being done and handed to me. But in an honors class, things went by at a much quicker pace, and with additional work. We did homework (everyday), classwork, W.A.C.s, and took a LOT of notes. Everyday's routine was the same, rigorous note taking and required a considerable amount critical thinking. But over time, it became a habit of greatness; I became smarter, quicker, and saw through all the little things in math. But I'd have to say, it was one of the most important things we did in math that I simply cannot overlook.

We took so much notes that every month, I went through a 150 sheets of binder paper. That's 1200 pieces of paper over 8 months! But because the notes went by fast, it forced students (me) to pay more attention, ask more questions, and be more involved. If you missed the notes, or screwed around during the lesson, you'd be hopeless on the homework. Notes helped me process information faster, understand concepts better, and if I forgot something, I could look back and review on what I wrote so I wouldn't forget. The note taking itself and writing it also helped be remember lesson ideas more easily as well. It's like blogs, but more straightforward. Notes were a huge part of math and was why I was able to score so high on all my math tests and maintain an A grade throughout the year. Because of its great significance, I had to choose it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One more thing: note taking also helped me write faster :D.
