by google images

By answering the quiz that has been given to me by Dr Mohamad Syafie 

http://www.educationplanner.org/students/self-assessments/learning-styles-quiz.shtml

 

This is the result:

         •• Auditory: 35%

         •• Visual: 60%

         •• Tactile: 5%



You are a Visual learner! Check out the information below, or view all of the learning styles.


Visual

 
If you are a visual learner, you learn by reading or seeing pictures. You understand and remember things by sight. You can picture
what you are learning in your head, and you learn best by using methods that are primarily visual. You like to see what you are
learning.


As a visual learner, you are usually neat and clean. You often close your eyes to visualize or remember something, and you will find
something to watch if you become bored. You may have difficulty with spoken directions and may be easily distracted by sounds.
You are attracted to color and to spoken language (like stories) that is rich in imagery.


Here are some things that visual learners like you can do to learn better:


• Sit near the front of the classroom. (It won't mean you're the teacher's pet!)
• Have your eyesight checked on a regular basis.
• Use flashcards to learn new words.
• Try to visualize things that you hear or things that are read to you.
• Write down key words, ideas, or instructions.
• Draw pictures to help explain new concepts and then explain the pictures.
• Color code things.
• Avoid distractions during study times

 

7 STEPS TO UNIVERSITY SUCCESS

1. Stay up to date with your work/assignment

➧ If lecturer give an assignment, we shouldn't postpone the assignment. So, our work will more quality.

2. Attend all classes

➧ This is important because all the points that lecturer give in class we'll use it during the exam. Beside that, most of the test question will come from lecturer.

3. Become an active learner

➧ We must be an active person in university not just in academic but also in kokurikulum.

4. Participate in class

➧ In class, we cannot be shy. If students have any questions to ask the lecturer, just ask. If have any activity in class or to represent the class, we must join it.

5. Get to know your lecturers

➧ In university, lecturers like our parents. So, we must know our lecturers especially their name.

6. Form study groups with friends

➧ This strategy is one of the important steps to success in university. This is because if we study in a group, we can exchange ideas and knowledge. Other than that, it also can makes it easier for students to remember all the points.

7. Be receptive  to change

➧ Always change ourselves to become a better person such as change our study strategies if we never see the improvement in our exam.



TOPIC 2: GOAL SETTING (LEARNING       MANAGEMENT SYSTEM)


WHAT IS A GOAL?
  

GOALS are the ends toward which we direct our effort

⇲ GOALS are things we want to achieve

WHY DO YOU NEED GOALS?

GOALS are important in university life because they can help motivate you to do work, attend classes and study for exams to make sure you can achieve what you want.

'SETTING GOALS IS THE FIRST STEP IN TURNING THE INVISIBLE INTO THE VISIBLE'ANTHONY ROBBINS

CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOAL


➹ Your GOALS should be S.M.A.R.T !!!!!!!!!!!!

             S - SPECIFIC


                  ⧬ Your goals should be clear and specific, so it can make it easier to focus on what you want to achieve.

           M - MEASURABLE
                      
                   ⧬ It is important because it can helps you to stay focus and feel excited when your goals getting closer. It also can make you more effort to achieve your goals.

            A - ACHIEVABLE


                    ⧬ You have to work hard and sacrifice everything to achieve your goal. You must also choose a goal that suits your abilities. 


            R - REALISTIC


                    ⧬ Your goal must be realistic so your future will be brighter.


             T - TIME BASED

                     It's important because we have a target date to achieve our goal. So, we'll do much effort to reach our goal before the deadlines.


ACTIVITY 2: MANAGING YOUR GOAL

I was given a task from Dr Syafie to write my goal statements using the Five Step approach;
my goals


TOPIC 3: TIME MANAGEMENT (ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS)

by google images


HOW DO YOU MANAGE YOUR TIME?

➭ Keep a time log every day for one week

➭ Create a schedule

➭ Obtain a calendar or planner

➭ Prioritise your tasks


‘TIME IS GOLD’

WE HAVE MANAGE OUR TIME EFFECTIVELY, ESPECIALLY AT WORK

WHAT IS TIME?


→According to Wikipedia, TIME is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.

→ Good time management is very important in preventing us from wasting time because time is gold.

WHAT IS PROCRASTINATION? 

 → Procrastination is the act of putting off intentionally the doing of something that should be done. 

 → Procrastination is one of the traits we need to avoid because there are many consequences such as poor quality work.

 → There are several reasons why people like to do with procrastination:

       ⧫ a very buzy person

       ⧫ laziness

       ⧫ feel that last-minute work is better


ACTIVITY 3: PERSONAL SCHEDULE

- I got a task from dr syafie to prepare a personal schedule.

ACTIVITY 4: MANAGING SO MUCH WORK

- By using the schedule in activity 3, we must identify the priority and urgency of each activity.

- Activity 3 & 4 will be merged together in one schedule.

 

 ↺ BLUE: Important & urgent

 ↺ PINK: Important but not urgent

 ↺ ORANGE: Less important but urgent

 ↺ GREEN: Not important & not urgent



↺ PURPLE: Important & urgent

↺ BLUE: Important but not urgent/Important & urgent

↺ PINK: Not important & not urgent

↺ YELLOW: Important but not urgent

TOPIC 5: MEMORY LEARNING (IMPROVING CONCENTRATION)

This topic enable students to learn the basic processes of memory and apply the memory skills in their learning. 

CONTENT:

↝ understanding memory processes
↝ memory strategies  
↝ understanding concentration
↝ strategies for improving concentration
↝ reading/study system(SQ3R)


"REMEMBERING IS HARD WORK, AND MEMORY TECHNIQUES DO NOT NECESSARILY MAKE IT EASY, THEY JUST MAKE IT MORE EFFECTIVE" - KENNETH L.H., 1996


 

ACTIVITY 6: ANSWER THE QUESTION

Dr Agustono asked us to answer a few questions and this is the result:

↪ The human brain has 100 billion brain cells.
↪ In this life, our brains will manage hundreds of data per secound
↪ Total right brain capacity is 1OO times left brain

 LEARNING PYRAMID

MEMORY PROCESSES

↭ Memory is the retention of information over time or the mind stores and remember information (mental processes).

↭ Memory is like computer software.

↭ Brain is the organ , like computer hardware. 

THE STORAGE (RETAIN INFORMATION)

3 types of memory:

Sensory Memory(SM)
            ↣ the shortest-term element of memory
            ↣ the stimuli come through our five sense :
                                  -hearing
                                  -smell
                                  -taste
                                  -sight
                                  -touch
             ↣ sensory memory has a high capasity but fades quickly


Short-term Memory(STM) 
             ↣ it has a small amount of information
             ↣ can recall easily for a short time
             ↣ short-term memories can become long-term memory but we must rehearse.


Long-term Memory(LTM)  
              ↣ has unlimited capasity
              ↣ LTM is usually labelled as explicit memory
              ↣ if the information were not used for a long time, we will forget it. 




 

ACTIVITY 7: CLOSE YOUR EYES

- Dr Agustono asked us to look at the following list of numbers for 10 seconds, then we must remember and try to write the numbers on a piece of paper.  
- This activity indicates what our memory strength.
- This is my answer. I only can remember 6 numbers out of the numbers shown by Dr Agustono.

MEMORY STRATEGIES

Memory strategies can help us to remember and recall something, but nowadays people easily forget something especially students. So, how forgetting can happen?
Here are some reasons: 
                  - students did not pay attention in class
                  - did a last-minute study
                  - did not have good strategies
                  - did not make revisions

How to improve Your Memory?

       - pay attention in class
        - always do revisions
        - elaboration strategies (acronyms,imagery)
        - prepare a schedule
        - identify our learning styles 

ACTIVITY 8: ANSWER THE QUESTION


CONCENTRATION

- Concentration is focusing your attention on what you are doing.


Causes of poor concentration:

- uncomfortable environment
- distractions from others
- lack of motivation
- smartphone

Strategies to Improve Concentration: 

- in class, we must turn on the silent mode on our phone
- use active learning strategies
- sit in front of the class
- use motivational 

ACTIVITY 9: CONCENTRATION CHART 

 Our lecturer asked us to complete the Concentration Chart. 


 READING/ STUDY SYSTEM (SQ3R/P2R)

- Reading academic materials are different with general reading tasks like story books.
- Study system can help in comprehending reading academic materials because of 3 factors: 
                        1. active learning strategies
                        2. use of multisensory methods (refer to the learning pyramid)
                        3. immediate steps for self-testing and review


SQ3R: SURVEY-QUESTION-READ-RECITE-REVIEW

- according to Wikipedia, SQ3R is a reading comprehension method named for its five steps: survey, question, read, retrieve, and review
- The method was introduced by Francis P. Robinson, an American education philosopher in his 1946 book Effective Study.

PLAGIARISM 

dictionary.cambridge.org
Plagiarism is "an act of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author."               


Siti Nafisah Md Rashid(UiTM Cawangan Negeri Sembilan Kampus Kuala Pilah)


        HOW TO PREVENT PLAGIARISM?
     
    Plagiarism can be avoided with 2 steps: 
        ➨ Planning
        ➨Writting 
    DOCUMENTING SOURCES: USING APA FORMAT 


Why use APA format? 

There are several reason why we use APA format:

        -  it can allows reader to cross-reference your sources easily

        - protect yourself from plagiarism

 

APA Styles


- APA have two styles which is:

        ↣ Reference page

        ↣ Parenthetical Citations ( when quoting any words that are not your own) 

     
     CALCULATING  GPA 
     
    What is the meaning of GPA? 
          - GPA stands for Grade Point Average
          -  it represent a student's academic achievement


       - This is formula to calculate GPA:


   Follow these steps to find GPA  weighted by credit hours:

                 1.  Multiply each numeric grade value by the number of credits the course was worth.

                 2. Add these numbers together.

                 3. Divide by total number  of credits you took.

                 4. Your GPA

    For example: 

  

 

    - CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average 
    - it refers to the overall GPA 

 

 FAILURE & DISMISSAL 
 

ACTIVITY 11: GPA WORKSHEET

 1.   Calculate the GPA  for Amelia Ameer for her first semester:

 

 2.   Calculate what would have happened if Amelia had earned a B in Chemistry.

 

 3.   What is the difference in GPA?

 

 4.   Now calculate  Amelia GPA for the next semester.

 

 5.   What would happen if Amelia had received a D in Cell Bio instead of the B+ ?

 

 6.   What is the difference in GPA ?

 

 7.   What is the difference in CGPA ?

 

 8.   What does Amelia have to do in order to achieve a GPA of 3.00 in the second semester if her CGPA falls bellow 2.50 in the first semester ?  

 - Amelia must score at least B- in Intro Physics and Writing in Biology.
