MODULE 1 :
LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY
High school vs University
Transition of first year students into the university can be difficult for some students like me because they are required to adapt into a new environment and learning styles that different from what they have learned during their previous years in school. Students also need to make a new friend at the new place.
How to be a successful college student?
1. Attend all classes - One of the best ways to be successful in college is to attend all classes. Although you will be tested on material from the course text, most of the questions will come from lectures.
2. Participate in class - Be an active person either ask or answer one question during each class. Indirectly, we enjoy the class as well.
3. Become an Active Learner - In college you can't learn all of the material by just reading over it a couple of times. You need to write and recite the information to get into long-term memory.
4. Stay Up to Date with your work - We should never procrastinate our work. So we can catch up other things and always stay up to date.
5. Be Receptive to Change - Do some change in our study strategies. It's could be better to do some change if not we can't never see how long our performance being.
6. Schedule you Study Time - Do a timetable and plan to study in one-hour blocks ( 55 minutes for study and 10 minutes break ). So you can complete at least two of your study tasks before dinner.
7. Exercise regularly - Do at least 15 to 30 minutes exercise every morning or evening. This can help us to circulate our blood and retain what you learn in lectures more easily.
8. Work hard this semester - It's important to us always set in our mind to do our best and work hard to something that we want to archive.
Learning Styles
So we have three types of learning styles that usually students use in daily life to improve their learning. Many students prefers different learning styles and techniques.
- Visual - Prefer to use images, maps and graphic organizers to access and understand new learning. Visual learnears learn by reading, seeing videos and demostration.
- Auditory - Prefer using sound and music while they understand new learning. You have a good hearing something and you can remember what you hear from lecture.
- Kinesthetic/Tactile - Prefer using their body, hands and sense of touch (physical way). You have good coordination and learn by doing something.
My learning style :
As you can see, my highest score is kinesthetic so I am a kinesthetic learner! I'm a person who can't sit still, I must have to do something 😆 How about you?
MODULE 2 :
GOAL STATEMENT - 5 STEPS APPROACH
What is goal?
- Goal is things we want to achieve, things we aim for as we pursue a certain course of action.
- Goal setting is the first step toward planning for the future and play a fundamental role in the development of skills in various facts of life.
- Long term goals is objective you want to do in the future
- It's important for a successful career
- Something you want to accomplish in future
- Long term goals require time and planning
Short-term goals
- Short term goals can help you make big chances.
- Something you want to accomplish soon
- Can be set for an hour from now, for the end of the day, week, month or semester
Five-Steps Approach
MODULE 3 :
FIXED - COMMITMENT CALENDAR
What is time management?
Time management is the way you regulate or schedule your time. You can make more efficient use of your study time and complete your work in less time by using good time-management skills.
Fixed - Commitment Calendar
MODULE 4 :
JOB TASK ANALYSIS
MODULE 5 :
PRIORITIZED TASK LIST
The most important tasks move the work closer to long term goals. Prioritizing allows you to identify the most important tasks at any moment and give those tasks more of your attention, energy, and time. It allows you to spend more time on the right things. Prioritization helps everyone to plan.
MODULE 6 :
MEMORY STRATEGIES
What is memory?
- The ability to remember past experiences and the power or process of recalling to mind previously learned facts, experiences, impressions, skills and habits.
- Memory is complex and consists of various processes and stages.
- To learn and remember, we must encode, store and retrieve information.
3 Types of Memory:
1) Sensory Memory
- If one pay attention to the stimuli, it will go to short-term memory (STM). If one does not pay attention, then the information will be lost
2) Short-term Memory
- It has two components which is immediate memory and working memory
- Immediate memory = the ability to remember a small amount of information over a few seconds
- Working memory = a system for temporarily storing and managing the information required to carry out complex cognitive tasks such as learning, reasoning and comprehension
3) Long-term Memory
- Unlimited & large storage
- Informative knowledge can be stored for long periods of time
- From STM, information moved to LTM and stored here for later use (retrieval). If information is not being used for some time, forgetting occur
MODULE 7 :
ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES
- Organizational strategies allow you to organize the information to make it easier to learn and recall
- The sum of the actions a company intends to take to achieve long-term goals
- Strategic plans take at least a year to complete, requiring involvement from all company levels
Automobile, pen, pencil, train, book, chalk, newspaper
I got 7 items from 12 items 😄
MODULE 8 :
CONCENTRATION STRATEGIES
What is concentration?
- Concentration is focusing your attention on what you're doing.
- It is the ability to focus the mind on one subject, object or thought without being distracted.
- It also means the ability to do one thing at a time, instead of jumping from one subject to another and losing attention, time and energy.

CONCENTRATION CHART
MODULE 10 :
READING TEXT
Survey - Question - Read - Recite - Review (SQ3R)
- SURVEY - review the text to gain initial meaning from the title, subtitle or chapter introduction.
- QUESTION - ask yourself about each section.
- READ - read the paragraph for the information and find the answer for the question that have been formed.
- RECITE / RECALL - look back at your query questions and recite the answer on your own word without looking at the text.
- REVIEW - read important sections again slowly and try to remember what you're reading (Take notes so that you can remember helpful information and where you found it)
Monarchy is a
political system in which power resides in one person or family and
is passed from generation to generation through lines of inheritance.
Monarchies are most common in agrarian societies and are associated with traditional
authority patterns. However, the relative power of monarchs has varied across
nations, depending on religious, political, and economic conditions. Absolute
monarchs claim a hereditary right to rule (based on membership in a noble
family) or a divine right to rule (a God-given right to rule that legitimizes
the exercise of power). In limited monarchies, rulers depend on powerful
members of the nobility to retain their thrones. Unlike absolute monarchs, limited
monarchs are not considered to be above the law. In constitutional monarchies,
the royalty serves as symbolic rulers or heads of state while actual authority
is held by elected officials in national parliaments.
In present-day monarchies such as the United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, and the
Netherlands, members of royal families primarily perform ceremonial functions.
In the United Kingdom, for example, the media often focus large amounts of time
and attention on the royal family, especially the personal lives of its
members. Recently, the European Union (of which the United Kingdom, Spain,
Sweden, and the Netherlands are all members) has also received media attention
as a form of governmental cooperation across national boundaries but not one that
weakens the powers of the present-day monarchies.
Q2 : What is authoritarianism and how it works?
Authoritarianism is a
political system controlled by rulers who deny popular participation in
government. A few authoritarian regimes have been absolute monarchies whose
rulers claimed a hereditary right to their position. Today, Saudi Arabia and
Kuwait are examples of authoritarian absolute monarchies. In dictatorships,
power is gained and held by a single individual. Pure dictatorships are rare;
all rulers need the support of the military and the backing of business elites
to maintain their position. Military juntas result when military officers seize
power from the government, as has happened in recent decades in Argentina,
Chile, and Haiti. Today, authoritarian regimes exist in Fidel Castro’s Cuba and
in the People’s Republic of China. Authoritarian regimes seek to control the
media and to suppress coverage of any topics or information that does not reflect
upon the regime in a favorable light.
Q3 : Why they choose totalitarianism system?
Totalitarianism is a
political system in which the state seeks to regulate all aspects of people’s
public and private lives. Totalitarianism relies on modern technology to
monitor and control people; mass propaganda and electronic surveillance are
widely used to influence people’s thinking and control their actions. One
example of a totalitarian regime was the National Socialist (Nazi) Party in
Germany during World War II; military leaders there sought to control all
aspects of national life, not just government operations. Other examples
include the former Soviet Union and contemporary Iraq before the fall of Saddam
Hussein’s regime. To keep people from rebelling, totalitarian governments enforce
conformity: People are denied the right to assemble for political purposes,
access to information is strictly controlled, and secret police enforce
compliance, creating an environment of constant fear and suspicion.
MODULE 11 :
NOTE - TAKING STRATEGIES
What is taking notes?
Taking notes is writing down ideas and read it with our own word.
- It can help us to pay attention
- Help us study for quiz, test or final exam
- Help us to improve our memory
- Help us takes ownership of ideas
- Help us to engage your sense
- Help us to organize and process our data and information
- Help lecture to test the student on how well they captured the information given
How to prepare for class?
🌸 Do pre-reading or homework
🌸 Always doing our review syllabus
🌸 Preview previous notes
🌸 Look up key words prior to class
🌸 Plan to listening about 80% in the class
🌸 Remember to write down the date at the notes that we take
🌸 Leave some space to add another information later
MODULE 12 :
NOTE - TAKING EXERCISE USING THE CORNELL METHOD
The Cornell method provides a systematic format for condensing and organizing notes.
📚Helps to increase understanding of the topic
📚 When studying for either a test or quiz, student has a concise but detailed & relevant record of previous classes

Grade Point Average ( GPA )
Your GPA is a number that indicates how well or how high you scored in your courses on average. It's meant to score you (usually on a GPA scale between 1.0 and 4.0) during your studies and shows whether your overall grades have been high or low. This number is then used to assess whether you meet the standards and expectations set by the degree programme or university.
