GETTING READY TO LEARN

 1. Getting Ready To Learn.(Gearing up for University Academics)

   On the first class, all of the students were gathered at the Dewan Titiwangsa to listen about the first topic which is Getting Ready To Learn as a kick start of UED102(STUDY SKILLS) subject. The lecture were delivered by Dr, Fauzi Azmi. He gave us a lecture on how to adapt in university's lifestyle and it's culture. Below are some example of topics that he explained

Difference Between School and College:

  • Spend less time in class: which is true because we are only going to be spending time in class about two to six hours, and having a lot of group discussion outside of the class. 
  • Spend more time studying outside of class : I often goes to the library to borrow books for my assignment.
  • We will do more reading : I have to do some research based on the assignment given. I have to look up points based on the assignment.
  • There will be fewer test : well, it's true because in high school there were a lot of examination compare to the university.
  • We might not be reminded of the due dates and exams. : I don't want to missed out any important dates
  • More group assignments with meeting outside the class.
  • No extension on due dates
  • Participation affects grades.
  • Fewer reasons for excused absences.
