MODULE 1 – LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY

           

Making the moves from being in school is not an easy task . Student need to meet new friends at the new place . Student also need to stay in college for semester 1 and learn to be independant . There are also many new things that student need to know and adapt with the challenging university life .

LEARNING STYLE & CHARACTERISTIC OF SUCCESFUL STUDENT

6 STEPS TO SUCCESS

1. Attend all classes 
One of the best ways to successful in the college is to attend classes . This is important because most of the test question will come from lecturer.

2. Become an active learner 
We cannot just read the book or notes couple of time but we must write and recite the information to get it into long-term memory. 

3. Participate in class 

Be an active person in class such as give the feedback about the subject that being taught  and ask the questions to the lecturer.

4. Get to know your lecturers 
As students , we should know who our lecturers especially their names .

5. Form study group with friends 
This is one of the good strategies to success in college . Students can remember the points easier and can make the discussion with friends easily . But make sure , you choose your friends   

6. Work hard this semester 
It’s important to us to always set in our mind to the our best and work hard to something that we want to archive .

CHARACTERISTICS OF AUDITORY, VISUAL & KINESTHETIC MODES

AUDITORY LEARNERS

after you read a page in your textbook, summarise the information out loud in your own words.

tape your instructor’s lecture,and if you are a commuter,listen to the tape on the way home, either in your car, or on the bus or subway.

discuss the material that you have been learning with a friend or study group.

VISUAL STYLE 

create mind maps, flow charts and diagrams using bright colours. Put them where you can view them frequently.

practice building your visual memory.

rewrite your notes using different colours.

KINESTHETIC LEARNER

use your hand. Cut up charts and diagrams. Create flash cards and move them around with large, sweeping movements.

walk and talk the information. Recite as you move.

type on a computer keyboard. You are using your muscle memory.

MODULE 2 - GOAL SETTING

1. Goals should be self choosen 

Goals that set by our parents,teachers or friends may not be always work for us .

We need to decide what we want to accomplish . If we set our own goals , we will be more motivated to achieve them .

2. Goals should be realistic 

Think about wether your goals are attainable or not . For example, It would be unrealistic to get A+ in Calculus if our math background is very weak and high school grades in Math were never higher than a B . 

To set realistic goals , we must carefully evaluate our chances of achieving each goals . 

3. Goals should be specific 

The more specific our goals are , the more motivated we'll be to achieve them . 

4. Goals should be positive 

Negative goals statements tend to make us fell that we can't really be succesful , they are not motivating.

We'll always do better if we are working toward something good . 

LONG & SHORT-TERMS GOALS 

Long-term goals are the objectives that you set for yourself for the end of the year , for four or five years from now , or even for a lifetime .

Short-term goals can be set for an hour from now , for the end of the day , week , month or term ( or semester ) .

Think of yor short-term goals as steps toward achieving the long-term goals you've set in yourself . 

ACADEMIC & PERSONAL GOALS 

Academic goals relate to your course work . They include things like going to class , completing assignments & preparing for exam .

Personal goals is about something like making new friends , joining sport , participating in clubs or any events or even doing your learning . 

5 STEPS APPROACH TO SETTING GOALS

STEP 1 : TENTATIVE GOAL STATEMENT 

Example : I want atleast A in Biology

STEP 2 : LIST OF OBSTACLES

Example : I have trouble following the lecturer and taking the notes .

STEP 3 : LIST OF RESOURCES 

Example : I'll read the chapter before the lecturer and I'll rewrite my notes afterward .

STEP 4 : REVISED GOAL STATEMENT

Example : I'll try to earn A in Biology .

STEP 5 : POLISHED GOAL STATEMENT

Example : i'll achieve A in Biology this semester .

MODULE 3 - TIME MANAGEMENT

Time is so valueable , we need to manage it smartly to get a better life in the future . Dont waste your time with something that does not give you any benefit , you will regret it soon if you dont manage your time wisely from now . So , LET'S START FROM NOW ! 

MODULE 4 - MEMORY LEARNING & IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

MEMORY VS BRAIN 

Memory is the ability of individual to save , keep and remember any informations or experience ( computer software ) .

Brain is an organ ( computer hardware ) . This two are working together and cannot been separated because it will effect each other . 

3 TYPES OF MEMORY 

Sensory memory - numerous incoming information form 5 sense will be stored in sensory memory for an instant . Remember something by using sense . 

Short-term memory - our short-term memory have only limited storage . The information must be repeated in order to get information to long-term memory . Remember something for just 30 seconds to 24 hours .

Long-term memory - our long-term memory is unlimited and have large storage . If the information is not being used for long-term time , the information will be lost . Remember something for long time . 

WAYS TO IMPROVE MEMORY STRATEGY 

Manage your time wisely 

Repeat the information many time 

Elaboration strategies 

Organize the materials 

Comprehension monitoring strategies 

MODULE 5 - TAKING LECTURER NOTES

WHAT IS TAKING NOTES? 

In my opinion , taking notes is writing down any ideas with our own way and only we can understand it . It is easier to remember by reading our notes than read the whole textbook because we just write important information in our notes . 

WHY WE TAKE NOTES? 

Help us to pay attention in class 

Help us study for quiz , test or final exam 

Help is to improve our memory 

Help us to engage our sense 

Help us to organize and process our data and information 

NOTE TAKING EXERCISE USING THE CORNELL METHOD

Cornell Notes Taking : 

Two Column Method : 

Mapping Method : 

MODULE 6 - ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & PERFORMANCE

WHAT IS GPA,CGPA & iCGPA? 

Grade Point Average(GPA) is the grade that a student earns each semester.

Cumulative Grade Point Average(CGPA) is the overall grades a student earns after divided by number of semesters .

Integrated Cumulative Grade point Average(iCGPA) is an integrated mechanism of assessment , performance reporting and student development that takes into account the increase in manners , knowledge and their capabilities .
