WHAT IS UED?   

- UED 102 or better known as study skills is an important learning skill for every student in going through university life well such as effective time management, setting goals, learning styles, learning strategies and processing information from lectures and texts. 

TOPIC 1 (GETTING READY TO LEARN)

From School to University

Often we hear the life of university very challenging and require more effort to achieve a goal and success. So, as a student we should trying harder especially when we having failure in something. To be honest, school life and university life is very different in terms of learning because there’s no more “spoon feed” thing as we went through during school . Indirectly, we will learn to be self-reliant when we need to find all the information ourselves to complete a task. Other than that, we also can embed the nature of collaboration when it is necessary to complete a task in groups.

how to be a real successful students?

First, students must become an active learner. Active learners talk and listen, write, read and reflect on what they are learning. Talking about the information and listening to others discuss the information in a study group, for example, gets you actively involved in the learning process.

Second, students can become a strategic learner. “Strategic learners are students who view studying and learning as a systematic process that is, to a good degree, under their control.” , said Weinstein and Hume. They involves three main components   which is skill, will and self- regulation.

Third, students can become a self-regulated learner. Self-regulated learners are generally more successful in college. How can they be so? They plan before starting a task, select strategies that they know are appropriate for the task, monitor their learning as they are completing the task and after the task is completed, and evaluate the results of their effort.

2) MAKE THE TRANSITION TO LEARN

1) Accept New Responsibilities
– Practice scheduling your time, budgeting your money, and setting priorities
  (Important for accomplish all of your goals)
– Get involved in campus life. Start out slowly. Join one or two clubs.
  (Don’t become too involved in campus activities, you won’t have enough time to         complete academic tasks.)

2) Improve your academic standing
 -Getting motivated to work hard and learn
-Thinking about why you are in college is one of the way that motivated you to succeed.

3) Balance School, Home and Work Responsibilities
– Students have problems adjusting to college.
– They worry about feeling out of place, competing with traditional students, getting good grades, disappointing their families, finding time to get their schoolwork done, and maintaining their job and home responsibilities.
– Students do have to make adjustments to overcome the problem.

4) Avoid Plagiarism
– Plagiarism is taking someone else’s ideas or words directly without paraphrase.
– Students must do citation every time a task is completed.

5) Manage stress

– Stress is feeling tense, overwhelmed, or under pressure.
-Students must identifying the causes of stress and find strategies to manage their stress.

6) Decision making and problem solving
– Students must decide what to study, what is the right strategies to use, where to study        and how long to work on the task.
-Good decision is required and very important when they set long and short term goals.
-When decisions are difficult to make, students need to use a problem-solving process.

LEARNING STYLES

 

What Is Learning Style?

A 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. Visual learners prefer to use pictures, graphs and images to organize and communicate their thoughts and learn best from using flash cards. Auditory learners prefer to listen, discuss, memorize and debate in class. They learn best from audiobooks rather than print ones. Tactile learners learn best by touch and movement—they find opportunities to take part in demonstrations, writing or building models. Kinesthetic learners prefer to use their whole body in the learning process—they use gestures to communicate ideas and learn best in a hands-on environment.

It is used for eLearning practices and, in its most common form, consists of two elements: a server that performs the base functionality and a user interface that is operated by instructors, students and administrators. In UiTM, Learning Management System (LMS) is use UFUTURE.

                     ACTIVITY 2 : WRITING EFFECTIVE GOAL STATEMENT

CONCLUSIONS 

- The research result can be the data base to efficiently design learning activities and using media online, and LMS for lecturers in higher education. Besides, they encourage online learning for more learning respond of learners and teachers.

TOPIC 3 : TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS

 

What is time management?

   - Time management is the process of planning and exercising conscious control of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity.

Using time effectively gives the person "choice" on spending or managing activities at their own time and expediency. Time management may be aided by a range of skills, tools, and techniques used to manage time when accomplishing specific tasks, projects, and goals complying with a due date. Initially, time management referred to just business or work activities, but eventually, the term broadened to include personal activities as well. A time management system is a designed combination of processes, tools, techniques, and methods.

HUMAN BRAIN

 

- The human brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making decisions as to the instructions sent to the rest of the body. The brain is contained in, and protected by, the skull bones of the head.

TOPIC 5 : TAKING LECTURE NOTES

1. Why take lecture notes

Note taking forces you to pay attention and helps you focus in class (or while reading a textbook). It helps you learn. Studies on learning have shown that actively engaging with the topic by listening and then summarizing what you hear helps you understand and remember the information later.

                            

2.How to take lecture notes

Taking effective notes in lectures and tutorials is an essential skill for university study. Good note-taking allows a permanent record of key information that you can integrate with your own writing, and use for exam revision. Taking reliable, accurate notes also reduces the risk of plagiarism.

3. Effective note taking system

In general, research shows that taking notes by hand allows you to remember the material better than typing those notes on a computer. This has been demonstrated in a number of studies on the topic, ranging from those which examined memory in general, to those which examined note-taking methods in a classroom setting.

4. What to include in your note.

Student should include headlines, details and discussion classes in their notes. Student should be note all headlines the main point that are made during lecture. Then, students should move to a details to write any facts or explanations such  as definitions and word.

    QUESTIONS 

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

- Maintain eye contact with lecturer.

        - Visualize what the lecturer speak about.

   - Limit judgement

- Don't interrupt

CONCLUSIONS

A conclusion is the final piece of writing in a research paper, essay, or article that summarizes the entire work. The conclusion paragraph should restate your thesis, summarize the key supporting ideas you discussed throughout the work, and offer your final impression on the central idea.

TOPIC 6 : ACADEMIC INTERGRITY 

           & PERFOMANCE
