How do you organise your books and notes books?
Normally I have a folder for every subject but it gets annoying when you need to bring a whole folder home to do homework.
I am thinking of just having 1 folder for all my notebooks and every day when I have homework I just bring the entire folder home. I will use the CD to find the questions.
What system do you guys use for convenience?

Hmm I have a display folder for each subject and I use it to file class worksheets. I think a really good idea is to use ONE folder to transfer necessary sheets to and from school. Not for all your books - this will mean you need to take home everything. This will save you from a heavy bag. Don't bring the whole folder home, just take out what you need, store it in the single folder then replace the sheet in your folder back at school the next day.
Good idea to use the CD. I never liked using it, but that was just me =P

One pocket for each subject and chuck all papers in for convenience.

Yea perhaps thats a good idea. Anyway do you like those books with 5 sections divided?

No, because there are never enough pages.

Not if you're doing maths subjects.
I think I went through 3 books for each one.

You're going to look back and see how many of these questions you posted were utterly useless to you in the long run, I guarantee it. Everyone has their own way of doing things. Yeah, it's good to see different perspectives on things, but be independent!

Never a truer word spoken, just cause some 99.XX VCE'er used 4 spiral bound books, 3 folders and a rolodex to sort there notes doesn't mean it'll work for you.

Btw I'm speaking from personal experience here :) I asked a really similar question (and many others) ages ago:

While the advice I got was helpful, I basically stuck to my own thing...

Either a mutant paperclip, or a miniature world.

wow i want one, not to use it, just for the fact that they are so massively awesome!

Bigger is better.

That's what she said...?

I don't even take books to school.
I keep one at school where I write stuff down so I don't get in trouble.
then I just do whatever I need for homework if I've scribbled it down in that book and refer to the textbooks at home when I need to.
nobody seems to mind
-
LOL I hardly ever take text books to school - they make my bag so heavy :P
But I did have a folder to take all homework sheets etc home. At the start of the year when I was really motivated I used to even take home exercise books to reread all the notes I took down and prepare for next day's class. The motivation didn't last too long...
For Chem, I always shared my friend's text book or often we didn't even bother. Same with Further. Eng was important to take novels and so was Accounting as we used Double Profit which is a work book.
-
I'm the opposite. I rarely take my text books home because they're so heavy and I just use the CD instead. For most subjects I use binders with dividers (pretty useless though, everything gets ordered differently by the end and the dividers always break). I shove all my papers in plastic pockets and folders are useless to me. Subjects with lots of note-taking, I have an exercise book for otherwise I just use a crapload of loose-leaf papers. If I have homework, I just pull out the papers I need and shove them in my diary.
Also, I never write my homework in my diary, only SAC and exam dates. I do, however, write my homework on my CAS calculator because I actually look at that.
-
I leave all my books in my locker and take the papers back (well, most of them)

That's my locker :P
I think that's all Unit 4 stuff with Unit 3 books tucked neatly behind

Haha I did that this year. Ended up with it weighing about 2kg and busting with paper.
But I guess it would be good if you're not lazy like me :P
Btw if English Language '10 is anything like what I had this year, you'd be wanting to get a BIG folder for it, and make sure you label the topics, starting now!
Something like:
- Australian Identity
- Accent
- Speech and Writing
- Standard English
- Ethnolects
- PC
- Language and gender
- Teenspeak
- Language and technology
...
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the list goes on forever.

Where do you put your bag?
-
Stuff it in as well, get a few guys to hold the door shut while I put the lock in place
-
All my locker had in it all year round was a ping pong bat and some balls. I carried all my books with me, but I don't carry all my papers in my locker. I keep the ones I definitely need while at school in my folder, and everything else in a pile at home.
-
i don't lock my locker and i keep my bag on the top of the locker area
nobody has ever taken anything
somebody even left a few random 'magic the gathering' card inside for me once

So you carry all the books needed for the day to and from school everyday?
-
Yep
FYI here are the contents
~ Essential General Maths
~ Essential Methods
~ Heinemann Chemistry
~ Heinemann Physics
~ Chinese dictionary (About the width of a brick)
~ 2 Chinese textbooks
~ Pencil Case (Very thin, I take a minimalist approach to pencil cases)
~ 4-5 96 page exercise books
~ 2 folders (Very thin as well, total width would be a third of Essential Methods textbook)
~ Macbeth
~ Fight Club
And that's all I can remember.

Yep. Must be pretty obvious to you once you've seen my subjects, eih?
