<p>Yep.</p>
<p>10char.</p>
<p>Definitely. Exspecially with subjects like Calculus/Algebra/Geometry etc. I may not always need it know, but who knows when it will come in handy (with the GRE for example). I also keep notes on my language courses, because its good review.</p>
<p>I kept pretty much all of my work from middle school until I moved summer before senior year, when I threw out most of it but kept a few worksheets for sentimental value. I’m starting college this year, and I have every binder from every Honors/AP class I have taken in high school, not for sentimental value, but because I expect several of them to come in handy later on. Many of them have already proven themselves handy (ex. reviewing algebra II notes to help remember stuff we were reviewing/relearning in pre-calc junior year; looking over my old English essays to remember how to do MLA formatting, citations, etc.).</p>
<p>Nope, just a few information-dense useful handouts that I got in my AP Psych class. I figure that I’m majoring in psychology, so a small folder with ~10 sheets of paper in it won’t take up too much space.</p>
<p>Because I am an English major I keep most of my essays so I can compare them throughout college to see writing ability growth. Beyond that, I trash the rest.</p>
<p>I keep quizzes and exams for my STEM courses mainly because I’m a tutor and they work really well as review problems for the students I tutor.</p>
<p>I have notes and exams from high school I kept, and I would say that referring back to them when I needed to supplied me with the exact information I was looking for; the internet cannot give me such results. For example, I had a friend ask me if fair coin is tossed some number of times, then what is the probability it would land on some side exactly this many number of times? I scoured for video demonstrations and math help or lesson pages to find how to get an answer, and got nothing. Luckily, I was able to help the poor kid out with my notes. :D</p>
<p>I have all four binders from high school, but I do weed out stuff by throwing out useless things such as topics I didn’t like or don’t need, courses that don’t contain information for future referencing, papers that were flyers or they’re just a space hog. The subjects whose notes I have fully intact are American History, Government, Economics, Algebra, Trigonometry, Chemistry, Physics and AP Physics because I will major in Engineering and the Social Studies courses for the heck of it. </p>
<p>For my middle and grade school works, I have a bit that I keep for the nostalgia such as artwork or writings.</p>
<p>In high school, we had to keep a portfolio of our work from all four years of English, so I still have all those papers. It’s fun looking back and seeing how awful of a writer I was my freshman year.</p>
<p>I don’t have any of my high school work anymore. For college work, I saved essays I liked, like the ones from ENC1101 where you got to write about any topic. I’m not saving essays from my nutrition class though. I’ve saved all my trig notes from this semester because I’m taking precalc next semester. I threw out all my Spanish 1 and 2 notes because that’s as far as I’m going in foreign language. I tossed my business ethics notes because I’m not going any further in that. I keep things I really liked and things I’m going to continue on to more advanced classes is.</p>
<p>I’ve only kept stuff from my literature, history and philosophy classes: essays, papers and notes, plus some of the more interesting hand-outs and articles. Because I was a huge doodler in high school, I still have lots of random notebook pages with cool/elaborate drawings in the margins, and some notes my friends and I have exchanged in class.</p>
