GOAL SETTING

GOAL SETTING

Hello! Yesterday, 19/7/2017 was the second last class for Study Skills subject and the topic was "Goal Setting (topic 2)".  It was conducted by Madam Noor Amira Syazwani. So, the particular topic that we were focusing on was;-



#1- Characteristics

I ask you guys, what is the meaning of goals? Basically goal is the object of a person's ambition or aim. Firstly, do you guys ever wonder what are the characteristics of goals? Here are the list of the characteristics;-


#2 - Academic and personal goals

Madam Noor gave us 5 minutes to think our academic and personal goals and the two lucky people would be chosen. Well, I'm the lucky one huhuhu.
 "What are your academic goal?" madam asked.  Without doubt, I said that I want to graduate on time! Then, she asked the next question, "What are your personal goal?" Without any doubt also, I said that I want to be a millionaire and be a successful person, so that I can change the world hehe!  

#3 -  Writing effective goals statements

  1.  Write down what you want to accomplish
  2.  Write down any obstacles
  3.  Write down any resources around you

TAKING LECTURE NOTES

Last Wednesday on 11th July 2017,  Madam Normala was in charged of the UED class. The topic was "Taking Lecture Notes (Topic 6)". Actually I was looking forward to be in her class because some of my friends from other classes said that she was dabomb! And yeah, she was amazing. I'm sure that "AKU BIMBANG" is her trademark ahahahahha!


TAKING LECTURE NOTES

Have you ever thought why do we take lecture notes? Madam Normala told us some of the reasons. Let me tell you why. I bet 4 is enough isn't it?

  • To be a active listener
  • Accurate record of information
  • To interpret, condense and organize information
  • For repetition of material

 How to take lecture notes? I mean the effective way, so that it will be easier for us to read. There are two ways;-




A) PREPARE BEFORE TAKING NOTES


  • Read before class  
                 - Build up background
                 - Have an idea what the lecture is about
                 - Identify the main idea
                 
  • Get ready to take notes as you walk into the classroom
  • Sit in front


B) BECOME ACTIVE LISTENER

  • Read before lecture
  • Sit in the lecturer's line of vision
  • Decide what to listen
  • Control emotional responses

Have you ever heard about cornell systems of taking notes? This is the best way for you guys to make it organized.

So far all of the UED classes are going very well. I hope that it will be the same for the last 2 classes or else 'Aku bimbang' before the interim session end hehe!
