Study Plans

Hey guys, here's my study plans, still didn't get my Soc & Accounting texts yet, but I've been listening to the UC Berkeley lectures, please click on any of the subjects below for the referencing sociology lectures :), these links will have the downloadable or streaming mp3 s :)

Theories of Laws & Society

Lectures on Weber

Lectures on Durkheim

Durkheim and Weber; The Division of Labor

Lecture on Karl Marx

For accounting, I go here to watch the video from Indiana University Kelly School of Business

Accounting Video Lectures

Once I get all my texts, I will use the schedule to do the following:

Mon/Wed/Fri - I will study Econ, Stats & Math

Tues/Thurs/Sat - I will study Accounting and Sociology

Sat & Sun - I will review.

My personal study strategy:

Read the chapter once (skim) the first time, the second time, I will read the chapter again with a little more attention to detail (not super detail), then listen to a lecture or video, then read the chapter a third time taking notes (by hand). After taking the notes by hand I will post the notes and put it on MS Word, then I will post it on the blog. So by the time I posted notes, I read the chapter 3 times and heard or watched a video lecture. I hope this will be helpful to me and you guys.

Without further delay, for your viewing pleasure, my favorite Japanese cartoon, my guilty pleasure: Crayon Shinchan, Doraemon Parody w/ English Subtitles
