GETTING READY TO LEARN

On 9th June 2017, I've attended my first class at Dewan Titiwangsa Uitm Raub, Pahang. To be honest, I was really excited to experience the class conducted by Dr Fauzi Azmi. The topic discussed was about 'Getting Ready to Learn(topic 1)'. What I've got on that day is the differences in school and univerity, the characteristics of successful students and how to use learning styles to enhance performance.

Here are some differences in school and university;-

• You spend less time in class
• More time for reading
• Fewer test
• You spend more time studying outside the class

Furthermore, in university you will be having a lot of group assignments. I personally think that each one of us have to choose the right person to work with. It will be a problem if one of them is actually a sleeping partner. I mean like, you have to do it all alone but at the end of the day, he or she will still get the name and mark. It's totally unfair though! Next, the lectures basically won't tell what's on the test. You have to struggle hardly in order to get flying colors, unless you're not a study person.

From Dr Fauzi Azmi's class also, I got to know the characteristics of successful students. Firstly, make a schedule or use a planner. From this, you can really fill up your ample time wisely. As a student, I'm pretty sure we are too busy with a lot of works. So by doing this, we can manage our time very well. Secondly, learn how to take good notes. So that it will be more interesting to read and memorize it. Thirdly, to attend every class and get to class early. Don't ever dare to skip class and please get enough sleep or else you'll be sleepy in class. Lastly make a master list of projects, assignments and exams. It will make us well prepared and everything will go smoothly.

Meanwhile, we also need to use our own learning styles to enhance performance and be on the race!
