UED102(2020)
Hai and Assalamualaikum to the reader
My name is Muhammad Ikmal Syazrin Bin Sharin. I am from Sungai Buloh, Selangor. I went to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Saujana Utama and now I am officially UITM jengka student
What is UED102?
Basically UED102 is a course that teach us about basic academic skills like how to take lecturer notes, memory strategies, etc.
In this course, students are exposed to:
• Getting ready to learn
• Goal setting
• Time Management
• Memory, Learning & Improving Concentration
• Taking lecturer notes & Academic Integrity & Perfomance
Topic 1
•Getting ready to learn
Schools and universities are very
different types of institutions for education.
So a transition from a school setting to university
life is not easy for high school students to make.
It could take a
while to get in touch with the new university system
Among high school and university,
there are only a few variations.
To face all these things, the student
must have a tough mental and physical approach.
For example a new friend needs to
be created from other locations, because we are in a whole new place.
Here it tells you how really important soft
skills are to connect with others in university life. So that we can get along through out the university life
In university life, there are still dress code that we need to follow, but it is not as strict as in school, picture bellow are the dress code that we need to follow:
In school life, mostly they will provide you the time table for the whole week. But in university life, you need to make it yourself so you can have a flexible timetable because you need to learn to manage time wisely, that is why they want you to arrange your time table yourself
Mostly in school, teachers will provide anything they can such as notes, tutorial, extra class, etc. So that you can improve yourself in certain subject. But in University life, some lecturer will provide it but most of them, only will guide you how to find it so you can depends on yourself instead of depends on someone them
In university life, student should make more friends. But they should prioritize quality over quantity because some friends are not meant to be friends, because there are people in this world that want to be friend with us only because they want ti take advantage towards us. So you should keep your circle small but still be kind with others.
•Learning style
There are three types of learning style, firstly are the visual learner. Secondly are the Auditory learner. And lastly are the Kinesthetic learner. Different student has their own way to study. And to know which types of learning style suit you the best, you can run this test on your own:
•Visuals : 9/10
•Auditory : 5/10
•Kinesthetic: 4/10
So I am visuals learner
Visual Learner
From the test, so I know I am more to visual learning environment, so what can I do to improve my learning is:
• Ask for demonstration
• Request for handouts
• Take notes carefully so you can read easily
• Draw something memorable with notes
• Sit in front of the class
• Color code things
• Avoid distractions during study times

Goal setting
Goal setting is a process that begins with careful consideration of what
you want to accomplish and ends with a lot of hard work to achieve it.
