     THREE WEEKS I WAS LEARN ABOUT:
     TOPIC 1 ➔TAKING EFFECTIVE NOTES 
     TOPIC 2 ➔PLAGIARISM
     TOPIC 3→ICGPA

                      TOPIC 1 TAKING EFFECTIVE NOTES

                      1) WHAT IS NOTE TAKING ?

             😎Writing down ideas from lecturers and readings in our own words .

                      2)WHY TAKES NOTES ?

            😅Help us to pay attention in class

 💖We Lose 80% of what we hear if it is not reviewed within a few hours .
 💖Identify any questions for peers , the next class or ask the lecturer .
 💖There is not enough time to absorb all the information given in class if it's not reviewed on a regular basic .


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

                               HOW DO WE TAKE NOTES?

                        ⇉Date and label notes
                        ⇉Give ourselves space to write
                        ⇉Use abbreviations and symbols

                               ⇉Use an outline to show:
                                  *Main ideas
                                  *Supports 
                                  *Examples

                               ⇉Use our own language

WHILE TAKING NOTES:
➽Be aggressive , not a passive and listener
➦Ask questions and discuss if its permitted
➦If not , jot question in your notes 
➦Seek out meaning

           KEY ACTIONS NOTE AS YOU OBSERVE YOUR                       INSTRUCTOR

     *Be alert to repetition
>When an instructor repeats a specific point,make a note of it
*Watch the board or overhead project

TOPIC 2 MEMORY ,  LEARNING AND IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

 OVERVIEW

                                             UNDERSTANDING MEMORY PROCESS

                                                            MEMORY STRATEGIES

                                              UNDERSTANDING CONCENTRATION

                                         STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

THE LEARNING PYRAMID

MEMORY VS BRAIN

Memory

Memory is an  individual's ability to store , maintain , and remember information  and experience . (COMPUTER SOFTWARE) 

BRAIN is the organ(COMPUTER HARDWARE) 

BRAIN

BRAIN is a gift of Allah swt to human beings , armed with the gifted brain , ever human being can create amazing success with it , it is important for us to recognize what is in the brain  . 

The brain is divided into two parts namely left and right .Both parts play an important role in life .

 BRAIN AND MEMORY ASSOCIATION

*ANOLOGY  LIKE A COMPUTER 💻.

  MEMORY

👩The human memory system is divided into three types it is sensory memory , short-term memory and long term memory.

UNDERSTANDING MEMORY PROCESS

⏩Doing well on exams requires an effective study  plan , active study strategies and a good memory .

⏩Having a good memory -involves both putting information  into memory and getting it back out-both storage  and retrieval .

⏩Why do we forget ?How do we learn ?Many students really don't understand how memory works . 

⏩Learning about how we store and retrieve information will help you understand why some study strategies work and others don't .

⏩This theory is called information Processing Model .

SENSORY MEMORY(SM)

*Memory related to temporary information storage carried by sensors (5 senses )

*Temporary

*If gives attention the information will be processed inside short term memory.

*If not gives attention the information will disappear immediately.

SHORT TERM MEMORY(STM)

*A process that allows information to be received and stored within a short period of between 30 seconds to 24 hours . Memory from SM.

*This is because the load limit of storing limited information .Half of the information in the short term memory will enter the long -term memory system if given focus and repeat.

*The information that is still stored in the short-term memory will disappear just like that .

LONG TERM MEMORY(LTM) 

*LTM is memory of an information in the long run.

*Every information stored in the system is permanent until the

end of a person's life , but depending on whether he makes (recall) information from memory store.

RECALL

*Weakness to "RECALL"  information stored in long term memory is synonyms with forgotten words .

*Genius people having impossible memory is that people can recall saved information in system long term memory.

*If want be a genius person brain potentials need to be strengthened by stimulating ,training, maintaining,and stimulating the brain through modern methods or traditional.

 ACTIVITY 2 

"CLOSE YOUR EYES"

FORGET AND REMEMBER

WHY YOU ALWAYS FORGET?

THIS IS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ALWAYS FORGET:

👄INTERFRENCE

👄FOCUS ATTENTION

👄FACTOR TIME

EASY TO REMEMBER IF:
💦INTEREST
💦CHOICE
💦REPEAT 
💦DO TRAINING DRILL

HOW FORGETTING COULD OCCUR


👉Did not pay attention to the information
👉Did not understand the information
👉Cramming last minute
👉Did not have good strategies
👉Interference
👉Test anxiety(negative thoughts about oneself , did not prepare well for the test)



MEMORY STRATEGIES(HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY)






1)MASSED PRACTICE VS SPACED PRACTICE 
*Massed practice(not good)- cramming , involves studying all the materials at one time .
*Do not have time to understand to understand , remember , and organize the reading
materials .(Reason : short term memory (STM)cannot sustain many information at one time
*Spaced practice(good , recommend)-involves space time over some period of time for studying
*Spaced practice /distributed practice allows time for the information to consolidate in the long-term memory.
*Taking breaks between learning sessions allow you to think and organize the info .
2)BREAK READING MATERIAL DOWN(again , no cramming)for some period of time e.g. 2 chapters per day , not all chapters a day before exam .

3)REHEARSAL-Repeat the info many times .
*The meaning of rehearsal is repeat information multiple times . For example you repeat the phone number 10 times .
4)ELABORATION STRATEGIES:
Associations-To associate or 'connect' each word or event with a person , place , thing , picture , feeling or situation.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY(example):
(PROPER FINGER PLACEMENT ON THE KEYBOARD)

ELABORATION STRATEGIES:

Acronyms/Catchwords-e.g. HACKS

ACROSTICS/CATCHPHRASES-E.G.=

EXAMPLE  OF ACROSTICS:

CONTENT OF RESUME (JEPWR)

1.PERSONAL INFORMATION

2.JOB INTEREST 

3.EDUCATION

4.WORK EXPERIENCE

5.REFERENCES

EXAMPLE:"JAJA ENGGAK PERLU WAKTU REHAT"

Organizational Strategies -Organise the materials e.g.=

👉Organizational strategies- organize  the material for example animals can be divided into 3 types which are mammals , reptiles , amphibians :

UNDERSTANDING CONCENTRATION➦

💗 Concentration-is focusing your attention on what you are doing . 

💗 It is important during  reading , listening and studying .

CAUSES OF POOR CONCENTRATION

➼LACK OF ATTENTION 

➼LACK OF INTEREST

➼LACK OF MOTIVATION

➼DISTRACTION FROM OTHERS

➼UNCOMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT

➼PSYCHOLOGICAL MATTERS-illness , tiredness .

➼PSYCHOLOGICAL MATTERS-personal problems , worries , anxieties .

STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE CONCENTRATION

😍Use motivational and organizational strategies - create interest in the work , develop a positive attitude toward your work , use goal setting strategies , use time management strategies .

😍Create a positive learning environment find a better location , reduce multitasking , minimize distractions .

😍 Deal with internal distractions-deal with personal problems .

😍Use active learning strategies(as discussed before) .

SQ3R READING/STUDY SYSTEM(CONCENTRATION CHART)

Many types of reading systems. All have 3 things in: 

1.PREVIEWING before you read.

2.MARKING&TAKING NOTES while reading.

3.REVIEWING after what you read .

SURVEY💜:make a survey to get an overview of the chapters to learn .

EXAMPLE:Title , subtopic,introduction, graph, summary topic

QUESTION💜:build a question while so that the mind is always looking for answers .

READ👄:Read paragraph for information.

RECITE👄:Summarize , refrasaka paragraph. Make a simple notes  or try remember

REVIEW👄:Look notes again , make sure remember the point.

Try remember again  the question and try answer again . A brief and clear note will be kept in long-term memory .

MEMORY FOR YOUNGER SISTER:

👆 Don't over of reading until don't have a enough sleep.

👆Learn quietly and openly

👆Switch yourself

Do not force yourself to learn if tired and sleepy

Avoid reading and representing mathematics

👆Discuss with friend 

👆Avoid feel shy for asking

👆Complete the job quietly

👆Avoid copying the work of a friend

👆Do not collect many new notes to read.

MEMORY FOR YOUNGER SISTER:

💝Learning is an art , if you know to understand the art you can succeed even if you have a lack .Every human being has its own unique , so do not imitate the way people learn . INSHAALLAH WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL💪😊 .
