LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STUDYING IN SCHOOL VS STUDYING IN UNIVERSITY

First of all, I just want to say that transition from high school to university is a big one, an important one, and sometimes even a scary one. You’re spreading your wings, finding some new independence, and discovering new abilities and talents. And that will become apparent when you first step foot into lecture hall. It is going to be different from what you are used to, so let me give you the lowdown.

1) You will own your time

In high school, you spent 35 hours per week in class. There was a lot of hand-holding. Test review often took place in the classroom, and study halls forced some additional time engaged in learning the material.

In college, you’ll spend approximately 16 hours in class each week, with attendance not even taken in many of those classes. You’ll have much more ownership of your day, and will make the choice as to whether or not you commit time to learn the material in a class.

2) You will likely have more committed students around you

Depending on where you go to school, you’ll likely have a collection of smart, dedicated students that you can collaborate with on an ongoing basis. This isn’t true at every school, but at any school, you can find highly capable students with whom you can collaborate. Finding people to study with can help you grasp class material more deeply and more quickly – a huge win.

3) You know all of your readings and assignments on the first day

In each of your classes, your instructor will hand you a syllabus on the first day. This is your guide and golden ticket for the semester because it includes contact information, assigned readings, assignment outlines, and midterm dates. It helps you plan ahead because you’ll know your busiest weeks from the start.

4) You could have more than one assignment or midterm on the same day

In high school your teachers most likely worked closely together to ensure that all of your assignments and tests were spread out throughout the year. Also, if you found out there were 2 or 3 tests on the same day, your teacher probably rearranged their dates to avoid conflicts. In university, your professor creates their syllabus and the dates are set. You could very likely have multiple assignments on the same day or midterms on the same day. Make sure you are aware of these busy times and plan your study time accordingly!

5) Getting an A means applying what you have learned to new concepts not seen in class

In high school, getting an A usually means you were able to match all of the definitions properly and solve similar questions to what you worked on in class. In university, getting an A means you’ve gone above and beyond what you’ve learned in the classroom and applied the concepts to new situations and problems that the class may not have gone over. This doesn’t mean that an A isn’t possible, but you definitely have to work extra hard for it.

6) Each assignment, midterm and final exam is worth more

Knowing this, make sure you give yourself enough studying time to get the grade you want. Extra credit assignments are also very, very rare.

7) Attendance is not always taken

Unlike in high school, your professors aren’t typically going to be taking attendance and tracking you down if you miss a class or an assignment. Classes and class work are completely your responsibility.

SCORING  INVENTORY

8 STEP COLLEGE SUCCESS

1) Get to know one faculty member reasonably well each term or semester

Research shows this is the single best way to engage fully in the life of the campus.

2) Explore at least one entirely new topic or course every semester

Replicating your high school course load is not particularly productive or satisfying.

3) Develop a strategy for making trade offs between “investing” in new classes or activities and “harvesting” the benefits of known skills

Successful students experiment with the new but also continue to build on what they know they’re already good at.

4) Focus on time management

Students who make adjustments to and are aware of issues in time management are far more likely to succeed in college.

5) Pick classes in the first year that will support choosing a major wisely

Knowing something in advance about departments and majors saves time and aggravation in the long run.

6) Try to relate what goes on inside the classroom to life outside of class

Forming these kinds of connections gives more meaning and depth to academics.

7) Engage in a wide variety of extracurricular activities

There exists a very strong correlation between campus involvement and overall student satisfaction with college.

8) Make friends with your academic advisor

They are often more accessible and approachable than your professors and can answer almost all of your questions about the material, the class , and the professor. Since they are probably the ones grading your work, they are also your best resource for advice on improving your grades.

MODULE 2

GOAL SETTING

     Goals are important in the college because they help motivate you to do your work, attend classes and study for exams. Even though you  already may have set some goal for the semester, changes are you thought little about whether those goals were realistic. You can improve your academic performance in college by learning to set goals that motivate you to do well and that increase your change for success...

    SMART goal setting brings structure and track ability into your goals and objectives. In stead of vague resolutions, SMART goal setting creates verifiable trajectories towards a certain objective, with clear milestones and an estimation of the goal’s attainability . Every goal or objective, from intermediary step to overarching objective, can be made S.M.A.R.T. and as such, brought closer to reality.

✏ Specific – What exactly do you want to achieve? The more specific your description, the bigger the chance you’ll get exactly that.

✏ Measurable – means that you identify exactly what it is you will see , hear and feel when you reach your goal . It means breaking your goal down into measurable elements .

✏ Attainable – means investigating whether the goal really is acceptable to you . You weigh the effort , time and other costs your goal will take against the profits and the other obligations and priorities you have in life.

✏ Relevant – means that is must be logical . Is reaching your goal relevant to you ? Do you actually want to run a multinational , be famous , have three children and a busy job ? You decide for yourself whether you have the personality for it , or your team has the bandwidth.

✏ Time-bound – Time is money ! Make a tentative plan of everything you do . Everybody knows that deadlines are what makes most people switch to action . So install deadlines , for yourself and your team, and go after them.

MEMORY STRATEGIES

3 types of memory:

1) Sensory memory

 numerous incoming information form 5 sense will be stored in sensory memory for an instant.

2) Short-term memory

 our short term memory have only limited storage. The information must be repeated in order to get information to long-term memory.

3) Long-term memory

 our long term memory is unlimited and have large storage. If the information is not being used for long term time, the information will be lost.

WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR MEMORY STRATEGIES :

 manage your time wisely

 repeat the information many time

 elaboration strategies

 organize the material

comprehension monitoring strategies

MODULE 6

READING TEXT

WHAT IS SQ3R?

Actually, SQ3R is stands for;

1) S- Survey

Pre-read chapter. Look at titles, headings, words in boldface and italics; graphs and diagrams; summary or conclusion and questions at the end of chapter.

2) Q- Questions

Formulate questions before you read. Convert titles and subtitles into questions. Write these down.

3) R- Read

Read chapter thoroughly and write down the answers to your questions section by section.

4) R- Recite

Try to recite the answers to your questions. Use your own words and give examples.

5) R- Review

Check your notes against the text; this is an ongoing process.

MODULE 7

NOTE TAKING STRATEGIES

why student must take the lecture notes? The reasons is because as a human, we always forgot about what we have done, and what we have learn. For your information, humans can forget about 80% of what they learned in one day within 24 hours.So, by taking lecture notes, students can interpret, condense and organize information. They also can use the notes for repetition of information.

In this part, he gave us two ways how to take notes. The first way is prepare before taking notes. The best way to prepare note taking activity is to read the text before class. Make sure to get ready to take notes as work into the classroom. You also can review the notes took during the last class while waiting for class to begin.

The second way is to become an active listener. Here are ways to be an active listener :

• Read before lecture
• Review last set of notes
• Sit in the lecture’s line of vision
• Decide what to listen
• Focus attention physically and mentally
• Listen for the main points and related details and take notes
• Monitor listening by checking with lecturer and classmates if unsure of some information
