It&#8217;s true, it&#8217;s true. Who would argue? (And so<br>it&#8217;s a truism hardly worth restating).<\/p>\n<p>I took so-so notes throughout coursework, but I also experimented a little<br>bit too much, often making do with something messy and sketchy or other times<br>accepting as <i>good enough<\/i> a summary or some other sort of page long<br>response to the reading. From coursework, then, I have an assortment of notes. I<br>mean the category of notes includes all kinds and classes: stickies, composition<br>book messes, legal pads with many-an-in-class doodle, blog entries in the<br>reading notes category, and so on. Some are proving useful for exam preparation,<br>but many, regrettably, must be brushed up. In the weeks ahead, I&#8217;ve many notes<br>to groom. I should add, however, that much of the writing that happens beyond<br>the edge of intelligible notes is also worthwhile. So I wouldn&#8217;t say that<br>coursework would have been sharper for me <i>at the time<\/i> had I taken more<br>methodical notes. Yet with relatively minor effort, I could have focused my<br>coursework notes into something that, for being more regular in form and scope,<br>would have served me better later on (i.e., right now). So many lessons.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Of the many small bumps and ruts I passed through this summer (toward<br>reasonably smooth progress on exams), the biggest one involved settling on a<br>method for keeping <i>good<\/i> notes. It had to be sustainable. It had to be<br>searchable. It had to be typed (bc my handwriting&#8230;bird-scratch illegible). It<br>had to involve tagging and other schemes for organization. And it had to<br>function like a robust database. Aesthetically appealing. Affordable.<\/p>\n<p>Exams vary considerably from program to program, as you would expect. Ours<br>involve a major area (two questions; a pair of three-hour sittings to answer<br>each on a single day) and two minor areas (one, we have the question for a week,<br>then write it on site in three hours; the other, we write at home throughout a<br>one-week stretch). Add it up, and it comes to nine hours of writing in a<br>whatever&#8217;s available space in the department (often the grad office) and a week-long take home essay<br>that, when said and done, ought to be &#8220;publishable quality.&#8221; As of this moment,<br>it still seems possible to me that I&#8217;ll be ready to kick things in motion with<br>the all-day major exam on Dec. 1 and follow with the two minor exams before the holidays. If a crappy semester, the alternate date is<br>sometime in January.<\/p>\n<p>But I set out to write about my notes system. I eventually settled on<br>something systematic back in early June, and, aside from a few due and<br>appropriate lulls, I&#8217;ve been posting notes fairly regularly. I&#8217;m satisfied that<br>it&#8217;s coming together, doing, I mean, what I think a notes system should<br>do&#8211;keeping me focused, moving along, registering thinned and concentrated<br>versions of what I&#8217;ve read. And I share it now, after close to fifty entries,<br>because I wanted to be sure it was up and running before I pointed to it. And so<br>it <a href=\"http:\/\/eris.earthwidemoth.com\/\">is<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Comments are closed, and I haven&#8217;t made use of any internal trackbacks yet,<br>although I might if I decide that such a thing would be helpful. I&#8217;ve been most<br>pleased with the tagging system (tags-in-common trigger the &#8220;Related Entries&#8221;<br>feature at the bottom of <a href=\"http:\/\/eris.earthwidemoth.com\/archives\/001334.html\">each individual entry<\/a>). It&#8217;s also tied in with a private (for now) del.icio.us account for other categorical clustering. The dates assigned<br>to each entry are rough approximations of the dates I produced the notes (you&#8217;ll<br>see, for instance, that the book I&#8217;m on now is posted already for tomorrow). And the minor exams are yet underdeveloped for some of the reasons I mentioned<br>above&#8211;many of those notes are on paper or in other places.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>Success in qualifying the CIA accounting exam and later with the diss depends upon a reasonablycomprehensive note-taking system.
