    MODUL1:GETTING READY TO LEARN


 SUMMARY

 WHAT IS GETTING READY TO LEARN?
 
In Learning to Learn at University you will learn about your learning preferences, the difference between surface and deep learning, different ways of thinking about and approaching your learning and how to develop a learning mindset.





 FROM SCHOOL TO UNIVERSITY

 We often hear that university life is very challenging and requires more effort to achieve certain goals and success. Therefore, as a student we should try harder and persevere especially when we experience failure in something. To be honest, school life and university life are very different in terms of learning because there is no more "spoon feeding" stuff like we went through during school. Indirectly, we will learn to be independent when we need to find all the information ourselves to complete a task. In addition, we can also instill the nature of cooperation with each other when necessary to complete the group assignments given by the lecturer.




 SCHOOL VS UNIVERSITY ACADEMICS

 There are some differences between school and university. In university, we spend time in the classroom and more time learning outside the classroom because we have to explore things outside to get something outside the box and of course learn new things. The most important thing you MUST READ A LOT!!! Just a reminder, sometimes we may not be reminded of deadlines and exams when we are too busy with classes and assignments. So, this will be related to our time management as a student. Then, I will study about good time management and how to schedule activities correctly and systematically.






     
How to be a successful student?


Success or Failure? Which one will be yours?

every student has their own dreams. therefore, every student should study hard and persevere to get what they want.

First, the student must be an active student. Students actively talk and listen, write, read and reflect on what they learn. Talking about information and listening to others discuss information in a study group, for example, makes you actively involved in the learning process.

Second, students can be strategic learners. “Strategic learners are learners who see learning and teaching as a systematic process that is, to a good extent, under their control.

Third, students can be self-regulating students. Students who are self-regulated usually do better in college.








  WHAT IS LEARNING STYLE?
   
 learning style is the way that different students learn. A style of learning refers to an individual’s preferred way to absorb, process, comprehend and retain information. The four key learning styles are: visual, auditory, tactile and kinaesthetic.



WHAT IS VISUAL?

Visual learning is a type of learning style in which students prefer to use images, graphics, colors and maps to communicate ideas and thoughts. Visual learners must see information in order to learn it. These learners are likely to have a photographic memory and may use color, tone and brightness to recall information. In class, visual learners will benefit from seeing diagrams drawn out, for example, on a chalkboard and in slideshows.



WHAT IS AUDITORY?

Auditory learning means that a student learns most effectively by listening. They would prefer listening to a lecture over reading a textbook, or hearing the instructions for a project instead of figuring it out hands-on. For example, a visual learner will want to see an example of the project, while someone who has an auditory focus will prefer to hear about the project.




WHAT IS TACTILE?

Definition of Tactile Learning means learning through touch or feeling. If you have a Tactile Learning Style, he learns best using hand activities, touch, texture and fine motor movements.



WHAT IS KINAESTHETIC?


Kinesthetic learning, which some people call tactile learning or physical learning, is a style of processing information through touch and movement. Participating in on-the-job training, building simulations and performing experiments are all forms of kinesthetic learning. Kinesthetic learners retain information more effectively when they can move their bodies and interact with their environment. They prefer to be active participants rather than passive observers.



other learning style





Activity 1: My Preferred Learning Style and Student Characteristics

The learning style I choose is visual because visual learners will benefit from seeing diagrams drawn out, for example, on a chalkboard and in slideshows.  




CONCLUSION

In conclusion, there are many ways of learning that are effective for us. Therefore, we should apply a diligent attitude in ourselves while studying at university or anywhere else.


MODUL 2:Goal Setting & Learning Management System



WHAT IS A GOAL SETTING?

Goal setting involves developing an action plan designed to motivate and guide a person or group toward a goal. Goals are more intentional than momentary desires and intentions. Therefore, setting a goal means that a person has committed thoughts, emotions, and behaviors towards achieving the goal. By doing so, goal setters have created a desired future state that is different from their current state thus creating a mismatch that in turn motivates future actions.




WHAT IS PURPOSE OF SETTING GOAL?

Motivation, vision, accountability, and fulfillment (or success) are the four most important outcomes of goal setting. These outcomes help employees realize their contribution to the larger picture, strive towards achieving it, and celebrate with team members when the goal is achieved.


WHAT IS
SMART?


The SMART in SMART goals stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Defining these parameters as they pertain to your goal helps ensure that your objectives are attainable within a certain time frame.


A goal is an idea of the future or desired result that a person or a group of people envision, plan and commit to achieve. People endeavour to reach goals within a finite time by setting deadlines.




Besides,A goal is roughly similar to a purpose or aim, the anticipated result which guides reaction, or an end, which is an object, either a physical object or an abstract object, that has intrinsic value.


CHARACTERISTIC OF GOAL:

  • Positive
  • Specific
  • Realistic
  • Measureable
  • Moderately challenging
  • It should be our self-chosen
  • Finite (having limits or bound)


WHY GOAL ARE IMPORTANT?

  1. Goals Give You Focus
  2. Goals Allow You To Measure Progress
  3. Goals Keep You Locked In And Undistracted
  4. Goals Help You Overcome Procrastination
  5. Goals Give You Motivation





Set goals, make sure they are in writing and visible and work towards your goals regularly. Five steps to success:


-Set Goals
-Make a Commitment
- Responsible
- independent
-tolerance




think of a goal your final destination, if your don't know what your final destination is,there is no way to plan on how to get there.

                                             no planning = failing




   

EXAMPLE:




WHAT IS LEARNING MANAGEMENT?


A learning management system (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, automation, and delivery of educational courses, training programs, materials, or learning and development programs. The concept of a learning management system emerged directly from e-Learning. Learning management systems make up the largest segment of the learning systems market.In UiTM, the Learning Management System (LMS) is called i-Learn (U-FUTURE).U-FUTURE aims to help students increase the skills of technology use, and improve knowledge acquisition and information sharing.






ACTIVITY 2: WRITTING EFFECTIVE GOAL STATEMENT.  


CONCLUSION

IN CONCLUSION, EVERY STUDENT SHOULD HAVE A GOAL TO ACHIEVE IN THE FUTURE. THEREFORE, A STUDENT INSTITUTE THE ATTITUDE OF WANTING TO SUCCEED IN THEIR LIFE. FOR EXAMPLE, STUDYING REALLY TO GET THE DEAN'S AWARD AND THE VICE CHANCELLOR'S AWARD.








MODUL3:TIME MANAGEMENT
                                       

 what is time management?

Time management is the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between different activities. Get it right, and you'll end up working smarter, not harder, to get more done in less time – even when time is tight and pressures are high.

why is time management important?
  • Better performance                                              
  • Deliver work on time
  • High quality
  • Less stress and aniexty                                      
                                 
                                   

HOW TO USE TIME EFFECTIVELY?
 
  • work to limit
  • stay focus
  • delegation of responbalities
  • reward yourself
Good time management takes a shift in focus from activities to results. Being busy isn't the same as being effective. In fact, for many people, the busier they are, the less they actually achieve.
                                               


WHAT IS POMODORO TECHNIQUE?
 
=The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method based on 25-minute stretches of focused work broken by five-minute breaks. Longer breaks, typically 15 to 30 minutes, are taken after four consecutive work intervals. Each work interval is called a pomodoro, the Italian word for tomato (plural: pomodori).


                           

 As a student  , i have to be on time because that is time is very valuaeable to me.In addition,being on time can be to discipline myself to be better.

                         




Besides that I also make a list of the work I will do. This is to help me manage my time well, which is to prioritize to do more important work and then do other work.

                      

     
                                                            MUST DO:
                                                             1.Prayer
                                                             2.Assignment
                                                             3.study

                                                           THEN DO: 
                                                            1.agro22 assignment
                                                            2.playing games
                                                            3.hanging out

                  MODUL 4:MEMORY LEARNING &                     IMPROVING CONCENTRATION 

                  MEMORY LEARNING & IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

  
 WHAT IS MEMORY?
 
=Memory is the process of taking in information from the world around us, processing it, storing it and later recalling that information, sometimes many years later.
                     



        WE REMEMBER

  • 10% what we read
  • 20% what we hear
  • 30% what we see
  • 50% what we see & hear
  • 70& what we say
  • 90% what we say & do


MEMORY SYSTEM
  
Memory is a device or system that is used to store information for immediate use in a computer or related computer hardware and digital electronic devices. The term memory is often synonymous with the term primary storage or main memory. An archaic synonym for memory is store.

SHORT-TERM MEMORY (STM)

Short-term memory is essential for daily functioning, which is why experiencing short-term memory loss can be frustrating and even debilitating.

  • Short-term memory is very brief. When short-term memories are not rehearsed or actively maintained, they last mere seconds.1
  • Short-term memory is limited. It is commonly suggested that short-term memory can hold only seven items at once, plus or minus two.2

LONG-TERM MEMORY (LTM)

  • Explicit memories, also known as declarative memories, include all of the memories that are available in consciousness. Explicit memory can be further divided into episodic memory (specific events) and semantic memory (knowledge about the world).
  • Implicit memories are those that are mostly unconscious. This type of memory includes procedural memory, which involves memories of body movement and how to use objects in the environment. How to drive a car or use a computer are examples of procedural memories.


  1. The last time I drank a tea was last week 
  2. The last time I tied my shoes was one week ago.
  3. The last I called my mom was yesterday.
  4. The last I made a paper airplane when I was 14 years old.
  5. The last time I talk my lovely (mom) was yesterday.
  6. The last time I said thank you to someone is yesterday

                  
MODUL5:TAKING LECTURE NOTES

BECOME AN ACTIVE LISTENER


3.EFFECTIVE NOTE TAKING SYSTEM


A.Notes

-This is the part where you should record your current notes college trip.Use notes brief, important content and main topics.

B.Cues

-Questions, main points, visuals leads, and other jogging leads your memory, go here. Fill it in part after class.

C.Summary

-Most important point and main ideas go here. Fill in this section after class when you are in the reviewing process.

        
                                                              

4.WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR NOTE?

A.HEADINGS

Always note all headings – the main point – that are made during a lecture

-Pay attention to main points and memorize the formula.

E.POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS

-Use headings and subheadings in Powerpoint presentations to organize notes.

F.ONLINE LECTURE NOTES

-Some lecturers choose to post their lecture notes on the course websites.



DIFFERENT DIGITAL NOTES VS PAPER NOTES



To produce effective lecture notes, we need a good listening skill. Discuss FOUR (4) strategies to improve listening skills. 

1.Keep an open mind during lectures
2.Focus while an lecture is teaching
3.Note important content while listening
4.Ask questions and answers



CONCLUSION

In conclusion,taking notes while the lecturer is teaching is very important for every student because he can gain a lot of important knowledge and ideas. therefore, we should take notes given so as not to forget what the lecturer taught.




MODUL 6 :ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & PERFORMANCE


1. Avoiding Plagiarism

PLAGIARISM:Plagiarism: The act of using or blatantly imitate language and thought other authors without truth and the representative the author's work as his own work, because by not crediting
original author.



TYPES OF PLAGIARISM

-Copying back words or ideas from other people without giving that person credit and permission.
-Posting other people's work and claiming to be the creator.
-Failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
-Giving false information about the source of the quote they made.
-Change the words but copy source sentence structure without
give credit.




HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM

1.Ask the lecturer what we do not know.
2.Use your own sentences to avoid plagiarism    
3.Make the assignment early and complete the assignment.
4.use a plagiarism scanner to avoid being accused of plagiarism.


PREVENTING PLAGIARISM (planning your paper)

Consult Your Instructor /Lecturer

-Ask the lecturer so that there is no doubt or mistake in the sentence when doing one of the works.

Take Effective Notes

-Organize the information that you have found by taking though notes of all sources before you start writing. 
-To avoid confusion about sources, try using different colored fonts, pens or pencils for each one

Plan Your Paper

- You plan how you are doing to include other sources of information in your paper
-There must be a balance between the ideas taken from other sources and your own ideas.




PREVENTING PLAGIARISM(writting your paper)



CITE RESOURCES

-When quoting a source, use the quote exactly the way it appears. If the quotation is relatively short (usually fewer than 3 lines or 40 words), those word must be enclosed in quotation marks.


Know How to Paraphrase

-To paraphrase, you must change both the words and the sentence structure of the original, without changing the content.


Make It Clear Who Said That

-If you are discussing the ideas of more than one person, be careful with confusing pronouns. Always make sure to differentiate who said what, and give credit to the right person.


Include a Reference Page

-One of the most important ways to avoid plagiarism is referencing. Include a reference page or page of works cited at the end of your paper. Check guidelines for citing sources properly.


PERFORMANCE

CALCULATING GRADE POINT AVERAGE 

The final examination results and assessments at the end of every semester are assigned as Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) which represent student’s academic achievement.

 


GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)

-Every semester, students receive a GPA based on the grades they earned in all their courses during that semester.
-To find GPA weighted by credit hours, follow these steps:  
1. Multiply each numeric grade value by the number of credits that the course was worth. 
2. Add these numbers together.
 3. Divide by the total number of credits you took. 

4.your GPA=3.53


CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA)

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) refers to the overall GPA, which includes dividing the number of quality points earned in all courses attempted by the total credit hours in all attempted courses.

 


CONCLUSION

In conclusion,we must avoid plagiarism in order not to be punished by the superiors. In addition, we must achieve the target we want to get a high average grade and what we want.



QUESTIONS

•LIST DOWN FIVE (5) TYPES OF PLAGIARISM.

1.Copying other people's resources.
2.Change other people's sentences and words so as not to be found copying.
3.Claiming to be the one who made it and sent it to the lecturer.
4.take information from google and copying without permission.
5.Failing to put a quotation in quotation marks.
