The amount of paperwork in teaching often seems overwhelming. This being the case, organization is essential for effective teaching. Several ideas for dealing with paper flow are useful. Box file folders or durable plastic file cases, plus an ample supply of file folders, are excellent for storing papers. Papers used in a particular class can be categorized into helpful categories: attendance; grades; handouts; plans for the next class meeting; materials that must be returned to students; class roster; papers to be graded; and course syllabus. Temporary files can be created for particular projects. Personal files for each individual student might also prove helpful. (MM)
