 *2.3 Using the Learning Management System

- Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application that allows instructors to create document, track, report and deliver courses to students. Additionally, it helps the instructors to deliver material to the students, progress, and manage record-keeping. In UiTM, the Learning Management System (LMS) is called UFUTURE (former i-Learn). UFUTURE aims to help students increase the skills of technology use and improve knowledge acquisition and information sharing

TOPIC 3: Time management

I think when i am entering the University era, one of the most difficult things to do is schedule study time. In High School era, you spent more time in class than you do now that you are in collage. In collage, it is up to you to make sure you are studying as much as you need to. Managing your time effectively is crucial to you success in your future.

 *3.1 Fixed-Commitment Calendar

This topic on memory, improving concentration and reading system aims to enable students to understands the basic processes of memory and apply the memory skills in their learning.

 *5.1 Understanding memory processes

- According to Kenneth Higbee, "remembering is hard work, and memory techniques do not necessarily make it easy, they just make it more effective"

 *5.2 Memory strategies

- Memory strategies, why it is important? Memory strategies will help students in their encoding, storing and retrieving the information.

- To improve our memory is we can massed the practice vs spaced practice, break reading material down for some period time. Example, 2 chapters per day, not all the chapters a day before the exam day. Always rehearsal, repeat the information many time and elaboration the strategies.

 *5.3 Reading / Study system (SQ3R)

- Reading academic materials are different from general reading tasks. Using a study system can help in comprehending reading academic materials due to three factors which is, active learning strategies, use of multisensory methods and immediate steps for self-testing and review.

- SQ3R is a short form for SURVEY, QUESTION and READ - RECITE - REVIEW. Survey stands for students review the next to gain initial meaning from the title, subtitle, chapter introduction or lead-in, boldfaced headings, graphs, charts, picture, the final paragraph or summary and end - of - chapter material. Next, Question stands for student try to form questions based on the preview. Other than that, Read stands for as students read, they need to look for answers to the questions they formed during their preview of the text. Recite stands for after each section, pause. Students will attempt to answer questions formed earlier. Lastly, Review stands for after you have finished reading the whole reading assignment, refer back to each heading. Recall your questions and try to answer them.

TOPIC 6: TAKING LECTURE NOTES

 *6.1 Taking Lecture notes

- Why do we need to take lecture notes? This is because we can promotes active listening, provides an accurate record of information, helps you organize the information and provides additional repetition.

- Why we should edit our notes? This is because to get feedback on your note taking, get an accurate record of the information, to organize the information in your notes, to review both the text and lecture material and integrate the course material and prepares your notes for later review by adding recall questions in the margin

 *6.2 Effective Note - Taking systems

- There's are 5 types of Note - Taking methods you need to learn which is Cornell method, Outline method, Mapping method, Charting method and Boxing method.

- Always note all headings - the main point - that are made during aa lecture. The details we can add is any facts or explanations that expand or explain the main points that are mentioned. The definitions, word by word, especially if your lecturer repeats the several times. Enumerations or lists of things that are discussed, example, you don't need to note all of the details for each example, BUT you need to know to which general topic each example relates.

- Always use the APA format. This is because to allows readers to cross - references your sources easily. Next, to provides consistent format within a discipline. Other than that, it can gives you credibility as a writer and lastly, it can protects yourself from plagiarism

 *7.1 Avoiding Plagiarism

- Plagiarism is an act of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author’s work as one’s own, as by not crediting the original author

 *7.2 Preventing Plagiarism

- When quoting a source, use the quote exactly the way it appears. If the quotation is relatively short (usually fewer than 3 lines or 40 words), those word must be enclosed in quotation marks.

- One of the most important ways to avoid plagiarism is referencing. Include a reference page or page of works cited at the end of your paper. Check guidelines for citing sources properly.

- If you are discussing the ideas of more than one person, be careful with confusing pronouns. Always make sure to differentiate who said what, and give credit to the right person.

- Lastly, to paraphrase, you must change both the words and the sentence structure of the original, without changing the content.

 *7.3 Calculating Grade Point Average

- The final examination results and assessments at the end of every semester are assigned as Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) which represent student’s academic achievement.
