CALCULATING GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA)

GPA refers to the calculated average of the letter grades a student earns in each semester following a 0 to 4.0 scale.This is GPA calculation table.

Every semester,students receive a GPA based on the grades they earned in all their courses during that semester.The formula used for the calculations of the Grade Point Average (GPA) is as follows

To find GPA weighted by credit hours, follow these steps:

1. Multiply each numeric grade value by the number of credits the course was worth.

2. Add these numbers together.

3. Divide by the total number of credits you took

Example:

 

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) refers to the overall GPA, which includes dividing the number of quality points earned in all courses attempted by the total credit hours in all attempted courses.

FAILURE AND DISMISSAL

Students with extremely unsatisfactory academic performance will/can be dismissed from his/her study. The status of Dismissed (D) that can be given to students include:

 MODULE 5 

TOPIC 5: TAKING LECTURE NOTE 

WHAT IS NOTE TAKING ?

Writing down ideas from lectures and readings in our own words.Using mind map also can make the note more efficient.

WHY TAKE NOTES ?👀

✎ Helps us to pay attention in class.

✎ Helps us study for quiz,test or final exam.

✎ Helps us improve our memory.

✎ Helps us take ownership of ideas.

✎ Helps us engage our senses.

✎ Helps us organize and process data and information.

✎ Helps the lecturers test student on how well they captured given information.

WHY REVIEW NOTES ?

Because we lose 80% of what we hear if it is not reviewed within a few hours.Other than that,to identify any questions for peers,the next class or to ask the professor.Furthermore, there is not enough time to absorb all the information given in class if it's not reviewed on regular basis.Lastly,think '' If I were tested on this lecture tomorrow,would I ace it? " Make it so !

TAKE TIME EVERY DAY TO REVIEW NOTES 🕮

WHY  "RECAPTURE'' NOTES AFTER CLASS ?

- Frees you up to write in quick,shorthand during class.

- An excellent test-prep strategy for reinforcing information,better than re-copying,this time you're digesting and rephrasing.

- Great for kinesthetic learners,can catch,gaps, look-up words.

- Prompts higher-level questions.

- Saves hours of studying and review the days before test.

INTRODUCTORY QUESTIONS

• What materials do we need ?

✔️ Loose-leaf paper 

✔️ Binder 

✔️Folders with pockets

✔️ Pens,pencils,erasers,etc

BEFORE CLASS 🏫

• Review the notes from the day before.
• Review your reading assignment.
• Make sure you have paper,text,pencils/pens and handout.
• Write the date at the top of your paper for notes.
• Leave spaces between the lines so that you can add information later.

PHYSICAL FACTORS

 ★ SEATING

 -Near the front and center 

• Better vision
• Better hearing

-Avoid distraction

• Doorways,windows glare, etc
• Peers

HOW DO WE TAKES NOTES ?

📄 Date and label notes.

📄 Give ourselves space to write.

📄 Use abbreviations and symbol.

-What are some examples of symbols nd abbreviatitons ?

📄 Use an outline to show:

- Main ideas

- Supports

- Examples

📄 Use our own language

Here some of my notes before I discover the proper way to do notes and use various abbreviations and symbol ...

                 

USEFUL ABBREVIATIONS

HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR CLASS ?

 TOPIC 4 : MEMORY, LEARNING & IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

MEMORY AND LEARNING

💭According to Kenneth Higbee

"Remembering is hard work, and memory techniques do not necessarily make it easy, they just make it more effective'' (Van Blerkom,2009,p.39)

What is memory ?

Memory is our ability to encode, store, retain and subsequently recall information and past experiences in the human brain. It can be thought of in general terms as the use of past experience to affect or influence current behaviour.

THE STORAGE (RETAIN INFORMATION)

👉SENSORY MEMORY (SM)

Numerous incoming information from 5 senses will be stored in the sensory memory for an instant.if one pay attention to the stimul,it will go to the short-term memory.If one does not pay attention,then the information will be lost.

👉SHORT-TERM/WORKING MEMORY(STM)

Very limited storage from the sensory memory,information will be relayed to the short-term memory.While in the short-term memory,information must be rehearsed and repeated or use some active learning strategies in order to get information to long-term memory,otherwise information will be be forgotten.

👉LONG-TERM MEMORY(LTM)

This is unlimited and large storage from short-term memory,information moved to long-term memoryand stored here for later use.If the information not being used for some time.Forgetting may occur. 

.

HOW FORGETTING COULD OCCUR

🧠 Did not pay attention to the information.

🧠 Did not understand the information.

🧠 Cramming (Last minute study)

🧠 Did not have good strategies

🧠 Interference cause when you have to remember two similar subject

🧠 Test anxiety when you are not well prepared for the test

MEMORY STRATEGIES 

i.Massed Practice-Cramming,involves studying all the materials at one time.Do not have time to understand,remember,and organize the reading materials it is because short-term memory cant't sustain many information at one time.

ii.Spaced Practice- Involves space time over some period of time for studying.Spaced practice or distributed practice allows time for the information to consolidate in the long-term memory.Taking breaks between learning session allow you to think and organize the information.

• Break reading  material down for some period of time.
• Rehearsal by repeat the information many times
• Elaboration strategies -

1. Association- to associate or connectt each word or event with a person,place,thing,feeling or situation
2. Acronyms/catchwords

eg : UM-Univertisty Malaya

      3. Acrostics/catchphrases

      4. Imagery- visualize the image of the information needed 

       5. Organizational Strategies- organize the materials for example animals can be divided into 3                     types which are mammals,reptiles,amphibian 

       6. Comprehension Monitoring Strategies- need to comprehend materials being read

CONCENTRATION CHART

 

You guys should start to make your concentration chart too you guys can realize what have been disturbing you and try to make improvement day by day eventhough it is just a little but make sure have progress 💛

SQ3R

SURVEY: Student review the text to gain initial meaning from the title,subtitle,chapter introduction or lead-in,boldfaced headings,graphs,charts,pictures,the final paragraph or summary and end-of-chapter material (study/discussion questions,vocabulary list)

QUESTION: Students try to form question based on the preview (survey).

READ: As student read, they need to look for answers to the question they formed during their preview of the text.These question, based on the structureof the text,help focus students' reading.

RECITE: After each section,pause,students will attempt to answer questions formed earlier.If students could not answer,then look back and find the answer in the section.Students should recite and rehearse the answer to their questions.Summarize the information.As student move through the text they should recite and rehearse the answer to their questions and make notes about their answer for later studying.

REVIEW: After you have finished reading the whole reading assignment,refer back to each heading,recall your questions and try to answer them.

5 STRATEGIES (STUDY SYSTEM)

1. Weekly schedule
2. Daily planner
3. Semester calendar
4. Academic and Personal life
5. Avoid procrastination

Everyone should have their own schedule for example I use my calendar in my mobile phone to create my own schedule so that I wont miss important thing and keep my time organize.Any mobile phone nowadays can create this so there is no excuse for you to start create your own schedule.

Personal weekly schedule

This is my semester calendar that has been provided by UiTM :

What is procrastination ?

Procrastination is the act of delaying or putting off tasks until the last minute, or past their deadline. Some researchers define procrastination as a "form of self-regulation failure characterized by the irrational delay of tasks despite potentially negative consequences." 

We should'nt normalize procrastinate in our daily life because once we do it, we will addict to it.This will ruin your life because procrastinate is kind a waste your time and it will effect to achieve your goals.

ADVANTAGE OF BEING ORGANIZED:

DESIGNATING PRIORITIES :

Job Task Analysis

TIME MANAGEMENT TIPS AND TO-D0 LIST:

Here I put my prioritized list that need to be done.. within this my daily life will be more organized and I won't miss to my homework and study session.😉

Prioritized To-Do List

and this is the tips that i got from lecturer,as a student this is capable for us to follow the tips it is also kind a useful for us.Maybe it's hard at first but if you keep practising it you might find the tips is good and you can share with your friends too.

That's all for today I hope with all of this information will help you guys to manage your own time.Other than that,you won't need to rush to do any assignments and the work that we produce are in much better quality.Have a good day everyone ! 💖
