Ranking Priorities


First, I used ranking priorities for CLS105 considering we have a lot of work to do for it for the next week. I adapted the strategy to suit me better. Instead of going by Letter than Number for priorities I just did a list of numbers and an order of when I have to do it. For number 1 I put this blog, because it is due first and I know doing this blog usually helps me out with getting the rest of my work done. Next, I put the reflection for the faculty interview project because it is the most important part that I have left to do. Third, I put going over my syllabus annotations to make sure they were good. Then I put a fourth number for putting my project together. Next, I put a fifth number for printing out grading rubrics for this blog and grading myself. I did another adaptation to this strategy by putting hours and days for me to do certain things. You can see that in the picture I uploaded to this blog.
I also used this strategy for my WRT105 class. We have many readings to do and papers to start and such. I did not use the same adaptations as I used for CLS because they did not seem to be fit for this class. I used the classic ranking priorities where I used letters and numbers. A was for what was necessary to do first, B was for what was semi necessary and C was for what I would do if I had extra time. Under the A section I put that I had to do things such as watch my movie for class. Under B I put readings that I had to read for the next week or so. For C I put the 10 minute test prep and other things that were not essential but would be good for me to do.
This strategy helped me see what I had to get done and combining it with putting hours/days of what I had to do helped me complete everything on time. It helped me a great deal this weekend and I hope it helps all of you as well. Try my adaptations if you think they suit you as well!!!!
