  GETTING READY TO LEARN

MAKING TRANSITION FROM SCHOOL TO UNIVERSITY

There is huge differences  between high school and university.In school teacher will guide you in your`s study but in university lecturer will just lecture you and you need to do all the rest by yourself.

that`s why soft skill is important in university to make sure we can adapt in the university environment.

4 Characteristic of successful student

1.Intellectually curious-In order to be a successful student,it is particularly important that you are interested in and engaged with your subject.All of the other characteristic here depend upon your caring upon you studies

2.Self-driven-Ulike in school at university you are expected to manage your own workload,attendance,and engagement.if you start to miss classes or assessments,you will quickly find your grades slipping,or worse,you may even fail.

3.Good time management-The ability to organise your time and schedule is another incredibily important ability.Successful students should plan their weeks and semesters well in advance to ensure they can  attend all the classes that they need to.

MEMORY,IMPROVISING & READING SYSTEM

Our lecturer(Dr.Agustono Wibowo)have explained to us about this topic,he said mempoy is vital for human if they want to remember what they learn.

a)Memory and learning

THE DEFINITION OF MEMORY 
MEMORY:Memory is the faculty  of the brain by which data or information is encoded,stored,and retrieved when needed.It is retention of information over time for the purpose of influencing action like computer software.The brain is the organ like computer hardware.

b)The storage

There are 3 types of memory:

Sensory memory:Sensory memory holds sensory information less than one second after an item is perceived.The sensory memory acquired 5 sense to be functional such as touch,see,talk,hear,and smell.

Short-term memory:Short-term memory allows recall for a period of several seconds to a minute without rehearsal.

Long-term memory:The storage in sensory memory and short term memory generally has a strictly limited capacity and duration,which means that information is not retained indefinitely.By contrast,contrast ,long-term memory can store much larger quantities of information for potentially

Memory Strategies
How forgetting could occur

• Did not pay attention
• Lack of rest and sleep

How to improve our memory

• Always do a revision after classes

Activity 8:Concentration Chart
Our lecturer ask us to do a concentration chart.

MODULE 6

TAKING LECTURE NOTES

Why taking lecture notes?

• Only 10 percent of an audio lecture may last in memory,but student who take and review note can recall about 80 percent of a lecture.
• Organized notes will help you identify the core of important ideas in the lecture.
• Help us revise before exam

How to take lecture notes?

1.Don`t write down every single word-The key is striking a balance-listen up,and jot down particular phrases you think are important.

2.Use a dictaphone-If you`re slow writer or struggle a bit with taking notes,using a dictaphone to record lectures is a good backup in case you`re worried about missing anything.

3.Pay attention-Beware that zoning ou tin class just means more time catching up on what you missed later on ,or becoming frustrated because you dont understand something

4.Highlight,underline and capitalise-If your lecturer is stressing something important, drawing attention to certain words or phrases in whatever way you see fit will help you remember how important it is

Before class.

• Review the notes from the day before
• Review your reading assignment 
• Make sure you have paper,text,handout
• Write the date at the top of your paper for notes
• Leaves spaces between the line so that you can take add information later

Become an active listener

• Always sit in front in the hall to keep focusing on what your lecturer talking about
• Make sure you don`t get any distraction like phones
• Don`t talking while your lecturer are talking
• listen for the main point that your lecturer talking about
• Ask a question if you don`t understand
• Monitor your listening
• Review your last notes before class start to make sure you understand for the next topic 
• Focus on your attention physically by sitting up and making eye contact withh your lecturer

Effective note taking system

2. Informal outline 
3. The block method

=0.31

3.Now calculate Amelia GPA for the next semester;

4.What would happen if Amelia had received D in Cell Bio instead of the B+?

If Amelia received D,her GPA will drop to 2.28


5.What is the difference in GPA?

=2.80-2.28
=0.52

6.What is the difference in CGPA in semester 1 and her CGPA   in the 2nd semester
