My IDC Mid-term Plan...

My IDC mid-term comes in two sections; therefore I have several strategies to try. The first part of the exam is a written section, and the second part is a take home essay of your choice of topic. The first part, I decided to color coded all the terms on individual note cards to keep them categorize. I personally feel that, by doing that particular strategy it will help me at my best at staying organized, because I wouldn’t have to worry about missing a word. Another approach that I am going to use for the first section, is reviewing over all my notes and texts from the beginning of the semester. I think that by doing a review it will help me refresh my memory. For the second part of the mid-term, I am going to research topics that I feel most comfortable about generally. My plan is to pick a topic that I can talk about, and write the best outline out of. I think that will do me a lot of justice, because I know you can never go wrong with an outline. I also feel that outlines are general the basic steps to writing a successful paper. Also to tie up all my strategy’s in a nut, I plan on taking each study tactic day by day before the exam day.

Your plan for the second part of the essay is a smart one. It's a good idea to identify the topic you feel most comfortable with in advance and then do more reading and thinking about it. One tendency we all have is not to spend enough time thinking, but thinking is the most important part of college work. Sometimes you just have to take a walk or spend some quiet time thinking about what you've learned so that you can begin to make connections between ideas and understand why they're important. So I think your action plan is a good one.
