Maia- Plug in Note & Graphic Organizer for CFS 388
Jennifer- Plug in Note & Graphic Organizer for Bio 121

We used Plug-in notes for Human Sex and Bio 121 class. It forced us to ask questions about each topic outlined in our study guides or syllabus. This strategy was effective in helping us to create our own study guide and for quizzing ourselves. It also helped us to break down different categories of a subject into a question and answer format. When we prepare for exams, we can cover the answer parts, and try to answer the questions.

 We used the graphic organizer for the same subjects again. It allowed us to break down a topic into subcategories. It was effective in helping us to visualize the different categories in a topic, especially since we like to see an organized outline for memorization. Before we used this strategy, our notes had no structure. Now we can use the graphic organizer to study because it’s more organized. We can also compare and contrast the differences between the subcategories.
