TOPIC 1:GETTING READY TO LEARN

I Have learned this topic by sir Abdul Rashid Zakaria,a lecturer at UITM Machang,Kelantan

The different between high school and university

HIGH SCHOOL	UNIVERSITY
Each day you proceed from one class directly to another, spending 6 hours each day (30 hours a week) in class.	You often have hours between classes; class times vary throughout the day and evening and you spend only 12 to 16 hours each week in class
You need permission to participate in extracurricular activities	You must decide whether to participate in co-curricular activities.
Most of your classes are arranged for you.	You arrange your own schedule in consultation with your adviser. Schedules tend to look lighter than they really are.
Teachers check your completed homework and some teachers will give a punishment for those who didn't complete their homework.	Lecturers may not always check completed homework, but they will assume you can perform the same tasks on tests.
The attendance formally be taken by the teachers in each class	Lecturers may not formally take the attendance but they have to know that you attend a class or not.If you skip 3 times of class,your final exam will be suspended.
Classes usually not more than 40 students in each class.	Classes may number 100 students or more (more than 500 for some first-year classes!).

I have been using a system of ENLP to know my learning styles

1)Auditory=27

2)Visual=20

3)Kinesthetic=27

TOPIC 2: GOAL SETTING

What Are Goals?

 - the process of identifying something that you want to accomplish and establishing measurable goals and timeframes.

MY ACADEMIC GOALS
Goal Statement: I want to get on dean’s list in each semester which is CGPA 3.5 above I want to further study in degree with the same course	List Of Obstacle: I have trouble following the lecture and struggle to take notes.I have to snap some of notes to get it The books is very hard to read and understand I have difficulty in understanding lecture teaching.
List Of Resources: I will read or research about the chapter before the lecture.I will rewrite some notes afterward I will highlight and take note as I read I will ask the lecturers about the topic that I don’t understand I will make a revision so that I can get ready for the test	Revise Goal Statement: I will try hard to get on the dean dean’s list in each semester and to further study in degree
	Polish Goal Statement: I will get on the dean’s list which is CGPA 3.5 above in each semester I will get to further studies in degree

Characteristics Of Goals

 1)S – Specific

your goal has to be specific and clear.some vague notion of wanting to be a successful person next year is not specific.its like a person saying they want to success.success in what? How long we need to achieve that goals? What can we do to success? Otherwise you won’t be able to focus your efforts or feel truly motivated to achieve it

2)M - Measurable

The goal has to be measurable so that you can track your progress and stay motivated.Assessing progress helps you to stay focused,meet your deadlines,and feel the excitement of getting closer to achieving your goal

3)A - Achievable

You can determine whether you reached it.In other words,it should stretch your abilities but still remain possible.You begin to figure out ways you can make them come true.Inspiring,meaningful,challenging enough to motivates people to do it and succeed.

4)R - Realistic

When looking at past performance and growth,is your goal realistic?We all need support and assistance in achieving our goal,but its important to retain control over them.so,make sure that your plans drive everyone forward,but that you are still responsible for achieving you own goal

5)T - Time Oriented

Breaking goals into measurable,achievable,and realistic portions by a certain time provides the team a roadmap to progress.Setting goals that can be monitored with weekly and monthly numbers will help you adjust strategies to real world conditions.


FIXED COMMITMENT CALENDAR

JOB TASK ANALYSIS EXAMPLE:

TOPIC 3:TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS

I have learn this topic by Sir Abdul Rashid Zakaria

WHAT IS TIME?

Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and event in the past,present,and future regarded as a whole

DEFINITION OF TIME

Time management is the process of planning and exercising conscious control of time spent on specific activities,especially to increase effectiveness,efficiency or productivity.It is juggling act of various demands of study,social life,employment,family,and personal interests and commitments with the finiteness of time

ADVANTAGE OF BEING ORGANISED

1)Focus

Being organized will enable you to focus more on what you want to achieve,both at work

And in your home life.This will allow you to make better decisions as you visualize where you are and want to go

2)Increased productivity

You will be able to be more productive In your study.By reducing the time and mental resources you expand/waste,you will have exponentially more time for the important stuff.Organised people are often twice as productive as unorganized people

3)Better time management

By organizing or prioritizing what you do you can better ensure that the tasks that are crucial get more priority.It’s really simple if you are more productive you get more time

4)Setting and achieving goals

Being organized and efficient will allow you to do more of what you want and what is important.Goal achievement,in your job and in your personal life is extremely gratifying and gives a sense of accomplished that cannot be valued

5)Less stressed

Generally,when your aasignments and key dates are outlined for each class,you’re able to prepare and allocate your time accordingly,leaving you less stressed.You are able to focus on other important things

  

5 STRATEGIES TO DEVELOP A SUCCESSFUL SYSTEM OF STUDY

-Use a weekly schedule

-Use a daily planner

-Use a semester calendar

-Balance academic with social and personal demands

-Avoid procrastination

REDUCING PROCRASTINATION

DEFINITION OF PROCRASTINATION

-The action of delaying or postponing something

COMMON REASON WHY PEOPLE PROCRASTINATION

-Being a perfectionist

-Avoiding failure

-Feeling overwhelmed

-They get distracted

-Unclear about how to get started

-Don’t feel pleasure doing it

-Focus on the fear or pain

STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION

1)Get rid of catastrophizing

One of the biggest reasons people procrastination is because they catastrophizing,or make huge deal out of something.It may be related to how tough,how boring,or how painful it will be to complete the task.Whatever the case,the underlying theme is that doing the task will be unbearable

2)Be Realistic

As you establish your schedule,set yourself up for success.projects often take much longer than expected,so bake in some extra time and look for ways to make it easier on yourself.For example,you are not a morning person,don’t expect yourself to get up an hour early to start the exercise program.

3)Excuses be gone

Be honest with yourself.It might be nice to “be in the mood”,but waiting for that to happen can mean you never start your project

4)Get a partner

Establish specific deadlines for completing a task.Then find someone who will help you be accountable or simply find an accountability partner.This can be a great way to squash procrastination

5)Reward good behavior

Establish a reward if-and only if-you do what you set out to do.Do not let yourself binge that new Netflix show,check your social media,or get lunch until you complete your schedule.

TOPIC 5:MEMORY,LEARNING & IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

WHAT IS MEMORY?

Memory is the ability to remember  and remain the information and the past experience.The power or process of recalling to mind previously learned facts,experiences,impressions,skills and habits.


INFORMATION PROCESSING MODEL

I Have learn 3 types of memory

1)Sensory memory

Sensory memory is a brief storage of information that lasts for a few seconds..For example,are ironic (visual) memory and echoic (auditory memory). Most information from the five senses will be stored. When we focus on the stimulus, it may pass to the short term memory.but if we do not pay attention, the information will not be permanent or lost.

2)Short-term memory 

(Immediate memory and working memory)

most of information from sensory memory is forgotten.Immediate memory is the place where some information can be temporarily kept for more than a few seconds but less than one minute.Our short-term memory have only limited storage.

Working memory is a system for temporarily storing and managing the information required to carry out complex cognivitive tasks such as learning,reasoning,and comprehension.The information must repeated in order to get information to long-term memory

3)Long-term memory

Our long-term memory is unlimited and have large storage and can be kept for days,months,and years.Although we may forget some information after we learn it,but the other things will stay.If the information is not being used for long time,the information will be lost

MEMORY STRATEGIES

-it can help everyone to keep their memories,experience and learning.The student that improve their memory is also the reason they can succes,because student who has a good memory,they will be able to remember many information after they learn it.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY

-Pay extra attention to dificult information

-Repeat the information many times

-Train your brain

-Relate new information to things you already know

UNDERSTANDING CONCENTRATION

CONCENTRATION means focusing your attention on what you are doing

STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

1)Environment

-make sure you are comfortable.You can choose any ways that make you comfort such as find a better location,reduce multitasking.Some people will start by ensuring their chair and desk are at the right height and listen to the favourite music to get a good mood

2)Nutrition

• Drink water – dehydration can make us feel tired, irritable, slow, or even sick. When our brains don't have enough fluid, they can't operate at peak performance. Staying hydrated is an easy way to help improve your concentration during the day.
• Eat breakfast – Start your day with a healthy breakfast. It's much harder to concentrate when you're hungry,so eat well but don't eat too much because its also can make you feel sleepy. You can also help your concentration throughout the day by keeping healthy snacks at your desk.

3)Mindset

• Fokus on one task at the time – It can be much harder to focus if you take minibreaks (15–30 seconds) to answer emails, send text messages, or take quick phone calls.It can ruin your fokus because you
• Prioritize – Having too much to do also causes procrastination. Or, you may quickly jump from task to task, creating the illusion of work – but in reality, you're not accomplishing very much. If you're not sure which tasks to start or which are most important, take 10 or 15 minutes to prioritize your to-do list

4)Active learning strategies

    -make group discussion with members.You can exchange ideas,or ask your members to explain about the topic that you don't understand and you can explain it to others.its help you to remember and concentration

TOPIC 6:TAKING LECTURE NOTES

WHY TAKING LECTURE NOTES?

2)Provides an accurate record of information that was presented in class

4)The underlying organization and purpose of the lecture will become clear through note taking

5)Lecture is where you learn what your instructor thinks is important,and he makes up the exams

HOW TO TAKE LECTURE NOTES?

1)Prepare before class

-Read about the topics and make sure you understand what you read even a little bit.Check the course outline to see if the lecturer has listed the topic or key ideas in the upcoming lecture.You can convert the information into questions to be answered in the lecture
