Overall Chemistry Reflection:
I have never been very good at taking notes. I think that that has to do with the fact that I have never really been in to taking notes in the past. I think that Chemistry this semester has been amazing. I say that because I have been amazing at taking notes. The pictures below display that. I think that overall I was very organized, but if I would have to improve one thing to help my organization it would be my folder. I have a separate folder that I would keep packets in as well as my periodic table. I think that this really helped me to not have everything as cluttered in the beginning. Another thing to improve would be stapling my worksheets to my lab note book, as I only did that once. With that comes keeping track of my assignments. Although it may have been hard to find my assignments sometimes I was able to turn in every assignment and get a good grade on all of them. Next I will talk about my lab notebook, and go more into detail about the pictures below.
Below are two pictures of my lab notebook. The first is one of my first pages where I took notes. As you can see in that picture I had a lot of wasted space, and you cant see the other flaw, but in all of those I didn't label anything and I had to go back and fix that. On the other hand if you look at the second picture you can see that the page is actually labeled a lot clearer and darker. You can also see that I fit not only more questions, but these questions are a lot harder so there is more information on them. In that picture you can also see that I have arrows on the left showing what is shown in each segment. I mostly did that to help me on my final, but that has helped me a lot when looking through my work and looking at what I did. Overall I think that I have grown a lot this semester and I think that this is the most I have ever grown in note taking.
