BabyJ0j0: Module 1 (Getting Ready to Learn & Goal Setting)

On June 7^th,2017. Interim students have to accumulate at Dewan Titiwangsa for Study Skill. Dr Fauzi Azmi the mentor of the day. The title is about Getting Ready to Learn and Goal Setting. In his conversation, he talks about what some differences between school and college academics. While in school, we used to get help from teachers but when you in university life's you have to care for yourself. You have learned to be an independent person with all you work.

Example;

· we have spent less time in class, maybe we have more time studying outside of class.

· We have more reading

· We have fewer tests

· We might not be reminded of due dates and exams

· Attendance may not be required

· More team/group assignments with meetings outside of class

· Participation affects grades

· Fewer reasons for excused absences

· We have responsible for ours own learning and behavior

· We only have a certain instructor for a few months

· Instructor don’t tell us exactly what notes to take

· Lecture and readings may not overlap 100%

Dr Fauzi Azmi tells us to learn how to make new friends, new relationship, new sitting and may be involved in lots of extra activities. We have to manage our own finances for the first time. Moreover, we have to learn how to take good notes; get notes from missed classes from a reliable source. We have to go every class. If we are not going to class, we cannot sit for a final examination. Get to class early, so we have time to review note and readings.

This is what I learn with Dr Fauzi Azmi. That's all, thank you....
