Since introduced to the "Chunking the task" method I've found it to work very successful for me. I most recently applied the method in my WRT 205 course, specifically on our first essay due about the conditions of the Food Industry. I joined my WRT 205 class late and as I felt nervous about where to start on the paper, I chunked sections of the paper and established what parts I would specifically focus on at a time. What was interesting is that I realize that I use this method alot by nature, ill break down something Ive procrastinated on that I really need to focus on. It was particularly successful with my paper because i was behind on some readings necessary for the paper so it made it less stressful to do the readings after I chunked it all and saw it laid out when I was going to do each reading. From there it was just combining information from the readings with my opinions and thoughts.
I used Chunking the Task for my BIO 123 class. I need to read the chapters in the text book to completely understand the concepts. This specific method helped me break down the readings and get them accomplished in a timely fashion.
ReplyDeleteI used chunking the task for my SOC 355 class because we had over 70 pages of reading to do for the week. I broke down the reading so i read around 20 pages a night instead of 70 all in one night.
