Fritter Finder and D's Due and Do Organizer

I always had had lack of study skills and lack of control, which makes me procrastinate my work. For this week, 2/7-2/13, I used the fritter finder and the d's due and do organizer in MAT 194, for I had an exam in 2/10, and that class gives assignments everyday so I had to find the two strategies that could fit into the both, an exam and homework.


For Fritter Finder, the reason why I chose this is that it shows visually represented so I could see easily when I had to study for and which a particular study and assignment I had to do or review. I found it was very helpful in identifying my free time in each color to spend properly for studying exam and doing homework. Because of using this strategy, I didn't have to waste my time, and I could be prepared to my MAT 194 exam very effectively.



For D's Due and Do Organizer, when I first learned this strategy, I wanted to apply to my schedule so I chose this strategy immediately, for I liked the idea to write down all the assignments due dates and when I was going to finish the work. The effectiveness of this strategy was easy and convenient to use, beneficial, and to adapt to other courses. Because I already wrote all the assignment and tests or quizzes for this month, I can keep using it. Since, I could see my calendar any time and did my MAT 194 study for on time, I had enough time to finish up the chapters for the exam and to do homework.



Both of strategies made me get an A+ on my MAT 194 exam, and I want to keep using them and to suggest my friends using them. I also feel very organized than last semester, and I don't have to waste my time anymore!

  1. I also used Fritter Finder and I found this strategy very useful. Being able to see the free times I have in between classes visually allowed me to use my time efficiently.
    I am happy that you were able to achieve success in your math class. I recommend you to continuously use these strategies in your math class as well as your other classes because they will bring a pleasing outcome in the future.
