Organize the space you are in and it will help organize your process.
Yes - better organization and planning is always an extremely effective approach - but you still need to be afforded enough time to execute this approach - not an ever ending addtional tasking with never any previous tasks removed.
This approach appears to be counter-productive
This is assisted me by reinforcing time management and the cause/effect of it.
This module is a good reminder that we do not need to reinvent the wheel regarding grading and other classroom tasks. I like that the module encourages online aspects to help with grading and allow for more time on other tasks. I currently have all my quizzes online but use lab assessments in person. This significantly reduces the time I spend in front of my computer. This is just one tool I use to help manage my time.
I have no stress, because I prepare for each class the day/week/month before.
I learned ways to avoid being disorganized in order to focus on the task at hand. Set a certain time of day to check emails instead of checking them as they come in so that you can focus on one task at a time
I have learned way's to organize my classes especially if I teach them often.
Understanding more about streamlining for material
Comment on Jungsun Franza's post: I was interesting to learn that it was that high.
I have used online test creation software already. My school won't pay for my subscription.
I heard that I should check email and do clerical tasks only once per day or at set times, but it is often easier to respond as emails come in. It might only take 45 seconds to reply immediately but 180 seconds if I wait until a later time to respond.
Also, my inbox feels overwhelming if I let it go for a whole day!
According to the information presented in this course, people are more efficient if the only check/respond to emails at set times, you should prepare adequately for lectures the first time to save you time in the long run.
Managing my time with the emails, some of them are not really necessary. And how to streamline teaching and assessment using technology, multiple choice evaluations in 50%.
Set a time to check your email and messages.

I like the idea of making a time for emails and desk work.
This module has taught me how to better organize my time to prepare tests and streamline the grading process, as well as doing all clerical tasks at once to help manage time better.
Moving at a timely manner is very important and it lowers your stress.
It is a great module. I have learned about time management for grading tests and checking homework. Also, I can assign a time slot to the clerical tasks.
