Chapter Ten

I found that structured data is effective for organizing my projects from all the classes I took. When I had the class Graphic Design Part One, my instructor showed me a way to structure a collection of all the files I had for my previous projects and that was to create one or more folders for each one. This strategy helped me locate the work I did and to move any files that were outdated with data that was later changed. I am surprised how there are people out there who do not know how to organize their content, so that people can find what they are looking for faster. There is someone I know who goes to college and is in some of the classes I took, but she does not create many folders when aligning where the work is kept making the task of finding the file difficult. I informed her about how she needs to make more filtered folders for everything she has on her computer, but she does not bother to even do it at all. A binary tree is the best term to describe what organizing each project for a class is when every file is placed in a specific folder for a class, then transferred into another one that is a part of that project. When specifying how this method resembles this structure, imagine each folder as a node, and within the first folder from one class, it contains pointers leading to multiple nodes that is for each project a part of it. Visualizing a binary tree this way was something I noticed when browsing my folders on a Mac computer when using the columns sorting option. I do not recall a PC giving this option, but it would be included as this structure if critical thinking was used to notice it. There may be some people who prefer a Mac computer because of this method, but it all determines upon the preferences of what everyone values more.
