2) Avoid Procrastination

Procrastination is the avoidance of doing a task that needs to be accomplished by a certain deadline. It might also be described as delaying starting or finishing a task on purpose or out of habit while knowing it could have major effects. 

Why people procrastinate?

 Some students are procrastinating, but I have included a strategy for overcoming it below.

3) Get Organized

Organized means to arrange one's things so they can be dealt with effectively. By keeping organized, you can increase your productivity and you can easily find the thing you're looking for. Organized people tends to do something before the deadlines. These are advantages of being organized ;

5) Memory, Improving, Concentration & Reading System

Memory & Learning

A compilation of commonly used models and illustrations known as the "learning pyramid" relate the many many phases of retention brought on by various types of learning.

Memory Process

Sensory Memory (SM)

-Memory related to temporary information storage carried by sensors (5 senses).

-If you pay attention to the information will be processed into short term memory if you do not pay attention to the information will be lost immediately.

Short-Term Memory (STM)

-STM is process that allows information to be received and stored within a short period of time between 30 seconds up to 24 hours of memory from SM

-This happens because limitation of storing information is limited, some information in the short-term memory system will enter the long-term memory system if it is focus and repeated.

Long-Term Memory (LTM)

-LTM means the memory of an information over a long period of time.

-In fact, every information stored in this system is permanent until the end of a person's life, but it depends on the person's ability to 'recall' the information from the memory.

Memory Strategies

How Forgetting Could Occur?

How To Improve Memory?

APPENDIX 7 ; MEMORY STRATEGIES

As you can see I only got 5 marks that means I need to improve my memory strategy 

APPENDIX 8 ; ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES

What Causes Of Poor Concentration

Strategies To Improve Concentration

1) USE:  use motivational and organizational strategies

2) CREATE: create a positive learning environment

3) DEAL: deal with internal distractions

4) USE: use active leaning strategies

5) MATCH: match your learning style to the task

6) MONITOR: monitor your concentration

APPENDIX 9 ; CONCENTRATION STRATEGIES

As you can see in appendix 9, I got 7 score on my concentration strategies which means I am using many good strategies for my concentration but I still need to improve some parts of my strategies.

6) Taking Lecture Notes

Note taking is an action of an individual who is attending a lecture to take all of the important information in their own and creative way. It can also help you to revise when the exam is just around the corner.

Why Are We Taking Notes? 

- Promotes actives listening. 

- Provides an accurate record of information.

- Provides an opportunity to interpret, condense, organize information.

- Provides an opportunity for repetition of the materials.

Steps In The Listening And Note-Taking Process

Effective Note-Taking System

As students, we must understand and learn about the subject. We should also take note of it so that we can refer to it later and use it more easily in our studies. Because the Cornell method is so effective for students, we need to put it to use in the classroom before the lesson even begins. It is more detailed, and each part's tone can be identified. 

For example ;

APPENDIX 12 : NOTE-TAKING STRATEGIES

As you see in appendix 12, my score is 5 which means I need some help in note taking because I don't really taking notes, I will only jotted down information that not contain in slides or not in the notes my lecturers give.

7) Academy, Integrity, & Performance

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is an act of using another person's words or concepts without their consent and passing off that person's creation as one's own, such as by refusing to give credit to the original author.

Example of plagiarism

- Copying so many words or ideas from source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not.

- Giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation.

- Copying word or ideas from someone else without giving credit.

- Changing words but copying sentences structure of a source without credit.

Calculating Grade Point Average (GPA)

What is GPA?

• GPA stands for GRADE POINT AVERAGE which is every semester, students will receive it based on the grades the earned in all their courses during that semester.

What is CGPA?

• CGPA stands for CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE which is refers to the overall GPA, which includes dividing the number of quality points earned in all courses attempted by total credit hours in all attempted courses.
