 Assalamualaikum and hello to those who became my first
readers. My name is Noralyana Irlisa binti Ariff and I am
18 years old. I am from Puchong, Selangor. I got an offer
to further my studies at university level in the Diploma in
ABOUT Communcation and Media Studies at UITM Rembau,

ME
Negeri Sembilan. I have six siblings in total and I'm a
fifth child in my family. However, at first my parents
didn't support me to take this course but, I convinced
them that I will get the chances to get one of the jobs
that related with this course in future and I believe this
course is very useful for me soon. So, my main purpose in
writing this portfolio is to introduce about UED 102
subject.
 What is UED 102?
UED 102 or better known as study skills is an important learning
skill for every student in going through university life well such
as effective time management, setting goals, learning styles,
learning strategies and processing information from lectures
and texts. That will help students overcome academic demands
at the tertiary level.

TOPIC 1 : GETTING READY TO LEARN AND GOAL SETTING
Making The Transition (from school to university)

Moving on to university from high

school life was tough. First,
academics proved to be a struggle,
as classes became more demanding
than what I had experienced in my
high school courses. University
required more effort to study for
exams and stay on top of
assignments.
 Characteristic Of
Succesful Students

1. HONESTY
This includes with your lecturers,
your classmates and yourself.
2. KINDNESS
Never mistake kindness for weakness. It is the
possession of power that allows us to be kind.

3. POSITIVITY
A positive attitude will make any work, no matter
how laborious, seem like less of a chore.

4. ATTENTIVENESS
Maintaining situational awareness is an important
skill for all learners to acquire and develop.

5. PUNCTUALITY
Be on time with your work and yourself.
 Using learning styles to
enhance performance
THREE LEARNING STYLES
Everyone processes and learns new information
in different ways. There are three main
cognitive learning styles: visual, auditory, and
kinesthetic. The common characteristics of each
learning style listed below can help you
understand how you learn and what methods of
learning best fits you. Understanding how you
learn can help maximize time you spend
studying by incorporating different techniques
to custom fit various subjects, concepts, and
learning objectives. Each preferred learning
style has methods that fit the different ways an
individual may learn.

Setting Goals For The New Semester

1. Class Attendance
Whereas many classes at university are technically optional, you’ll be missing out on a full education if you
choose to skip them. If you try to teach yourself from your books, there’s a risk you could misunderstand
something. Attending class, however, gives you the opportunity to get detailed explanations from your

contributing to your bad study habits. Procrastination is an easy habit to fall into, but it’s one that should be avoided. Deadlines for assignments are
often long, which can make it tempting to forget about them until a few days before the due date. However,
you’ll never do your best work if you leave papers to the last minute. The same goes for studying for an exam:
it’s much more difficult to retain information if you stay up all night rather than spreading out your studying
over a longer period.

4. Your Study Spot

If you’re struggling to stay focused when you study, it could be because your study area is uncomfortable or
full of distractions. It’s important to experiment with what works for you — some people focus better when
they’re alone, while others perform better when they’re in a room with other people. Commit to finding a few
places (perhaps the desk in your bedroom, the couch in your living room, the campus library, and a favourite
coffee shop), since switching things up can help you retain more

 Using the 'LEARNING
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM'
LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS)
Learning management system (LMS) is software
application that creates to admistration,
reporting, tracking and documentation. In UiTM,
we use this application for all UiTM students
and it called i-Learn.
TOPIC 3 : TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS
Optimising Study Time
Here are five tips to optimize your study time :

1. Prepare beforehand. Many people think that preparation work counts as

studying.

2. Take advantage of downtime.The best students know how to take advantage

their study time.

3. Takes note or jot down your notes while studying so you can remembered the
main point of a topic.

4. Take a enough rest and sleep before you going to study so you can optimize
the maximum of the knowledge that you want.

5. Pay attention to what you have eat,avoid eating something that not good for
the health and brain such an internal animals organ that can effected your
memories.
 Organising Study Time

1. PLAN A SCHEDULE OF BALANCED ACTIVITIES.

College life has many aspects. Some of the most common are fixed: EATING, CLASSES, CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS, WORK,
and PRAYERS.
Many are flexible: SLEEPING, STUDYING, RECREATION, PERSONAL (errands, family, laundry).

2. PLAN ENOUGH TIME FOR STUDYING EACH SUBJECT.

Most college classes are planned to require about three hours work per week per credit in the course. By multiplying your
credit load by three you can get a good idea of the time you should provide for studying in addition to time spent in class.

3. STUDY AT A SET TIME AND IN A CONSISTENT PLACE.

Establishing habits of study is extremely important. Knowing what and when you are going to study saves a lot of time in
making decisions and retracing your steps to get necessary materials, etc.
Avoid generalizations in your schedule, such as "study chemistry" at certain regular hours. Instead, plan to "complete ten
equations" or "read and take notes on chapter 6 for Chemistry." Treat your study time as you would a class: don’t miss it
unless you’re sick, have a family emergency, etc. It should be a permanent part of your daily routine.

4. STUDY AS SOON AFTER YOUR CLASS AS POSSIBLE.

One hour spent shortly after class will do as much good in developing an understanding and memory of materials as
several hours a few days later. Re-­‐copy/type notes while they are still fresh in your mind; fill in the gaps. Start
assignments while your memory of the assignment is still accurate. By doing this, it will be easier to transfer information
from short-­‐term to long-­‐term memory.
 Using Time Management
Strategies To Stay Motivated

HOW DO I USE TIME MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES TO STAY MOTIVATED:

ASPEND 30 MINUTES PLANNING YOUR DAY-BEFORE YOU BEGIN

WORKING EACH DAY,SPEND 30 MINUTES PLANNING OUT WHAT YOU
WANT TO DO.THE EASIEST WAY TO DO IS TO WRITE DOWN A LIST OF
GOALS FOR THE DAY WHICH YOU CAN POUR THROUGH.

TAKE SMALL BUT FREQUENT BREAKS- REMAINING SEDENTARY FOR

TOO LONG CAN AFFECT PRODUCTIVITY.DONT FOCUS ON WORK DURING
YOUR BREAKS,TAKE AN ACTUAL BREAK AND LET YOUR MIND
RECUPERATE.

BLOCK OUT TIME FOR IMPORTANT TASKS- YOU SHOULD BLOCK OUT A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME IN YOUR SCHEDULE FOR IMPORTANT
TASKS.THIS STRATEGY ALSO WORKS WONDERS WHEN YOU FIND
YOURSELF STUCK OR UNABLE TO CONTINUE WITH A CERTAIN TASK.

MINIMIZE DISTRACTIONS- THIS IS A TOUGH ONE,BUT YOU NEED TO DO

YOUUR BEST TO MINIMIZE ANY AND ALL DISTRACTIONS.THIS MEANS
AVOIDING SITES LIKES FACEBOOK OR YOUTUBE.

STOP MULTITASKING- HUMANS WERE NOT MADE TO MULTITASK,NO

MATTER HOW GOOD YOU THINK YOU ARE. ITS TIME TO STOP.
 Reducing Procrastination

1. GET ORGANIZED
You are more likely to procrastinate if you don’t have a set plan or idea for completing your work. Investing in a planner is a good idea. Start
keeping track of all your assignments and their due dates. When you're organized, it gives you a more orderly and measured framework within
which to work.

2. ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS
Getting rid of distractions is another tip to avoid procrastination. By limiting the number of distractions around you, you're more likely to
get done what you need to do. Shut your phone off, retreat to a quiet place and listen to classical music or white noise to drown out any
noise.

3. PRIORITIZE
Prioritizing your work and assignments is another way to help you avoid procrastination. Every week or so, make a list of what needs to be
completed. Make sure you address the most critical or time-sensitive assignments first. Then work your way down the list. Get the hard stuff
out of the way first, so that everything that comes after it will seem more manageable.

4. SET GOALS
Part of the reason you might procrastinate is because what you have to do seems overwhelming. It’s a lot easier to get started on a project
when you establish simple, reachable goals rather than face a big, vague plan. Instead of telling yourself, “I’ll study chemistry tonight,” you
might instead say, "I’ll study chapter six tonight." This makes your goals less intimidating and more attainable.

5. SET DEADLINES
Another tip to avoid procrastination is to set deadlines. Many students get stuck in the “I'll do it tomorrow or eventually” cycle when in truth
that day or eventually never comes. It's important to set a specific date for when you want a project or assignment to be completed. Aim to
have your projects and assignments completed one or two days in advance. That way, if something unexpected happens, you still have extra
time to complete them.

Making The Most College Resources

UiTM REMBAU,
NEGERI SEMBILAN

UiTM Rembau has 3 faculties :

- Faculty of Communications and Media Studies
- Faculty of Business and Management
- Faculty of Information Management
All of the buildings are attach so in case if it rains, you could still walk from the dorms to your class under the roofs. The faculties
and the Perpustakaan Tun Abdul Razak (PTAR) are provided with some really fine gadgets that you will have the chance of
using. Just outside PTAR, there is a Bilik 24 Jam that you can hang in and do works with your friends any time of day.

There are 2 places for eating, Medan and Kafe. The latter is the smaller one of the two. I don't spend much time there as it is
nearer to the boys' college. I heard that they have a wider variety of food here. Near Kafe, theres is a Mini Mart where you can
buy junk foods, toiletries and everything in between. There is a Bank Islam ATM Machine behind the mart and beside it, there is a
whole street of shop lots; more food and printing services.

The Medan is closer to the ladies' colleges and is bigger than Kafe. They have 4 stalls in Medan and sometimes they even have a
small station for roti canai. Medan is close to the Unit Kolej dan Pengurusan Non-Residen office which handles the students'
living arrangement. Behind the office, there is an air conditioned room equipped with chairs, sofas and tables for the non-
resident students to chill and do work in called the Bilik NR.

Among other things, UiTM Rembau also have a Unit Kesihatan with an ambulance ready. There is also a Pusat Islam or surau, a
tennis court, a basketball court, a football field and a few gazebos spread around the campus.
TOPIC 5 : MEMORY, IMPROVING CONCETRATION & READING SYSTEM
Understanding Memory Processes

Students need to understand how information is learned and

to understand the needs of using various kinds of active
learning strategies in learning, retaining, and using the
information (encoding, storage, and retrieval) and hence,
indicates how one learns, remembers, and forgets. According
to Kenneth Higbee, “remembering is hard work, and memory
techniques do not necessarily make it easy, they just make it
more effective” (Van Blerkom, 2009, p. 93).
 Explain briefly about memory processes.

What is memory? and what is brain?

Answer: The retention of information over time (Santrock, 2011) or the mind stores and
remember information (mental processes / cognition), like computer software.
The brain is the organ, like computer hardware.

When we learn, and remember, we will encode, store, and retrieve the information. The
analogy is like a computer. (Lecturer can ask students examples of computer components and
what are the components analogous to human)

o Encoding / input (computer – keyboard,

camera; human – the 5 senses; ears, mouth,
nose, skin, eyes)

o Storage (computer – hard disk, thumb

drive; human - 3 types of memory – SM,
STM, LTM)

o Retrieval /output (computer – computer

screen, printer; human – writing, talking)
THE STORAGE (RETAIN INFORMATION)

Three different types of memory (simplified) according to Information Processing Model

(Atkinson & Shiffrin’s model in Santrock, 2011)

1. Sensory memory (SM) - numerous incoming information from 5 senses will be stored 3. Long-term memory (LTM) – this is unlimited and large
in thensensory memory for an instant. If one PAY ATTENTION to the stimuli, it will go to storage (like a big library with a lot of books, the books are
the short-term memory (STM). If one does not pay attention, then the information will be analogy to information we encode and save). From STM,
lost. (therefore, the importance of PAYING ATTENTION / CONCENTRATION while lecture, information moved to LTM and stored here for later use
reading etc.) (retrieval). If the information is not being used for some time,
forgetting may occur. Having cues / strategies during encoding
2. Short-term / working memory (STM) - very limited storage. From the SM, earlier would help in retrieval processes.
information will be relayed to STM. While in the STM, information must be
REHEARSED/ REPEATED OR
use SOME ACTIVE LEARNING strategies in order to get information to LTM, otherwise
information will be forgotten. (therefore, students must realize that applying memory
strategies is important to strengthen the memory ability).
 Memory Strategies

Memory strategies, why it is important?

ASMEMORY STRATEGIES (HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY)
Memory strategies will help students in their encoding,

DO NOT HAVE TIME TO UNDERSTAND, REMEMBER, AND ORGANIZE THE READING MATERIALS. memory) techniques do not necessarily make it easy, they just
(REASON: SHORT TERM MEMORY (STM) CANNOT SUSTAIN MANY INFORMATION AT ONE TIME) make it more effective”
SPACE PRACTICE (GOOD, RECOMMENDED) – INVOLVES SPACE TIME OVER SOME PERIOD OF TIME FOR
STUDYING. SPACED PRACTICE OR DISTRIBUTED PRACTICE ALLOWS TIME FOR THE INFORMATION TO CONSOLIDATE (Van Blerkom, 2009, p. 93).
IN THE LONG-TERM MEMORY. TAKING BREAKS BETWEEN LEARNING SESSIONS ALLOW YOU TO THINK AND ORGANIZE
THE INFORMATION.

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 THE EXAM.

3. REHEARSAL– REPEAT THE INFORMATION MANY TIMES. E.G. REPEAT A TELEPHONE NUMBER 10 TIMES

4. ELABORATION STRATEGIES:

▪ ASSOCIATIONS
TO ASSOCIATE, OR "CONNECT" EACH WORD OR EVENT WITH A PERSON, PLACE, THING, FEELING, OR SITUATION.
FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MAY CONNECT WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO LEARN WITH SOMEONE YOU KNOW, OR WITH A
MOVIE CHARACTER OR SCENE. WHEN YOU HAVE TO LEARN VOCABULARY WORDS, JUST WRITE THE NEW WORDS,
WRITE THE DEFINITIONS NEXT TO THEM, AND THEN WRITE A PERSON, THING, EVENT, MOVIE, OR ANY STRONG
ASSOCIATION TO HELP YOU REMEMBER THE MEANING OF EACH WORD. FOR EXAMPLE, "MY ALTRUISTIC AUNT
ALICE GIVES GREAT GIFTS." (ALTRUISTIC MEANS GENEROUS)
 Understanding
Concentration

Have you ever wondered what is concentration and how to strengthen it?
Let’s try to define concentration and explain what it is.

What Is Concentration:
Concentration is the ability to direct one’s attention in accordance with one’s will.
It means control of the attention.
It is the ability to focus the mind on one subject, object or thought without being
distracted.
This is the ability to focus the attention, and at the same time, ignore other unrelated
thoughts.
It also means the ability to do one thing at a time, instead of jumping from one
subject to another, and losing attention, time, and energy.
Concentration is a state, in which one’s whole attention is engrossed in one thing
only, and being oblivious to everything else.
The word concentration means focusing one’s thoughts and attention on one thing or
thought.

Concentration definition according to oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com:

“The ability to direct all your effort and attention on one thing, without
thinking of other things.”

Concentration definition according to according Macmillan Dictionary:

“The process of giving all your attention to something.”
 Strategies For
Improving Concentration

1. USE MOTIVATIONAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES –

CREATE INTEREST IN THE WORK, DEVELOP A POSITIVE
ATTITUDE TOWARD YOU WORK, USE GOAL SETTIN
STRATEGIES, USE TIME-MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

2. CREATE A POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT – FIND A

 Reading/Study System

SQ3R: SURVEY-QUESTION-READ-RECITE-REVIEW

SQ3R is a comprehension strategy that facilitates students think about the text they are reading
while they are reading. As a study strategy, SQ3R helps students “get it” the first time they read
a text by teaching students how to read and think like an effective reader.

This strategy includes the following five steps (Robinson, 1946 in Adolescence Literacy):

1. SURVEY: Students review the text to gain initial meaning from the title, subtitle, chapter
introduction or lead-in, boldfaced headings, graphs, charts, pictures, the final paragraph
or summary and end-of-chapter material (study / discussion questions, vocabulary list).

2. QUESTION: Students try to form questions based on the preview (survey).

3. READ: As students read, they need to look for answers to the questions they formed during
their preview of the text. These questions, based on the structure of the text, help focus
students' reading.

4. RECITE: after each section, pause. Students will attempt to answer questions formed earlier.
If students could not answer, then look back and find the answer in the section. Students
should recite and rehearse the answers to their questions. Summarize the information. As
students move through the text they should recite or rehearse the answers to their questions
and make notes about their answer for later studying.

5. REVIEW: After you have finished reading the whole reading assignment, refer back to each
heading. Recall your questions and try to answer the them. If you cannot recall, go back and
find the answer. This part is to test yourself.
TOPIC 6 : TAKING LECTURE NOTES
Taking Lecture Notes
This topic introduces students to why they should take lecture notes, how to take lecture notes using an
effective note-taking method, what to include in their notes and reviewing their notes.

WHY TAKE LECTURE NOTES?

1. Promotes active listening

2. Provides an accurate record of information

3. Provides an opportunity to interpret,

condense and organize information

4. Provides an opportunity for repetition of the

material
 BECOME AN ACTIVE LISTENER
HOW TO TAKE LECTURE NOTES?
Strategies for improving listening skills :
The best way to prepare your note-taking activity is to READ THE TEXT
• read the text assignment before the lecture to build background on the topic
ASSIGNMENT BEFORE CLASS.
• review you last set of notes before the lecture begins
By reading the text assignment before the lecture you, it will allow
you to : • sit in the lecturer’s line of vision

• build up some background about the topic • decide what you want to listen

• focus your attention physically by sitting up and making eye contact with the

speaker

• identify main ideas of the lecture and organize your notes easier • focus your attention mentally by eliminating or avoiding distractions

• be familiar with the key terms and names related to the topic • listen with an open mind, setting aside your own biased

As you walk into the lecture classroom, GET READY to take notes. • control your emotional responses
Sitting in front of the classroom, allows you to see and hear better.
• listen for the main points and related details and take notes
You will probably find that other interested and motivated students
also tend to sit in the first few rows of the class. While waiting for • ask and answer questions

TOPIC 7 : ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & pERFORMANCE
Plagiarism
What is Plagiarism? Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work as if it were your own, whether you mean to or not.
‘Someone else’s work’ means anything that is not your own idea, even if it is presented in your own style. It includes
material from books, journals or any other printed source, the work of other students or staff, information from the
Internet, software programs and other electronic material, designs and ideas. It also includes the organization or
structuring of any such material.
 HOW TO PREVENT PLAGIARISM?
1. Use plagiarism checkers
One of the best ways to avoid plagiarism is to use plagiarism checkers. Today, there are many free and paid online plagiarism
checkers that can help you present unique work or ideas. Some of the most used online tools for checking plagiarism include
Grammarly and Copyscape. You can choose to either use the standard version or the premium version that one makes
monthly or yearly subscriptions.

2. Citing sources
When researching a particular subject of interest, it’s essential to cite the sources where you get the information from. If you
forget to do this, then you’ll be plagiarizing the same. Compile a list showing all citations from articles, books magazines, or
websites.

3. Create unique content

If you present new and unique ideas, then you’ll be avoiding the consequences associated with plagiarism. However, you
should be keen to avoid self-plagiarism especially if you’re handling multiple assignments with a similar topic.

4. Quote and paraphrase

When taking ideas or writing content, you can avoid the issue of plagiarism by quoting or paraphrasing content from the
source. When quoting a piece of content, quotation marks should be used together with the original author. Paraphrasing on
the other hand means condensing the author’s main idea using your own words.
 Calculating Grade
Point Average

In this topic we learnt how to calculate the grade point average .

WWhat is GPA, CGPA and iCGPA

1. Grade point average (GPA) is the grade that a student earns in each semester.
2. Cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is the overall grade a student earns after divided by number
of semesters.
3. Integrated cumulative grade point average (iCGPA) is an integrated mechanism of assessment,
performance reporting and student development that takes into account the increase in manners,
knowledge and their capabilities.
4. Elements of iCGPA:
a. Knowledge
b. Communication Skill
c. Practical Skill
d. Social Skill and Responsible
e. Problem Solving
f. Active and Value
 CGPA refers to the calculated average of the letter grades a
student earns in each semester following a 0 to 4.0 scale.

TThis is GPA calculation table : This is the Grading Evaluation Table :

iCGPA is Integrated Cumulative Grade Average Value which is a value that will reported at
the end of the semester or in study duration. This value shows the student achievement
in mastering 8 domain learning outcomes. The student achievement for every learning
outcome programme is display through report in the shape of ‘Spider web’.
Every semester, students receive a GPA based on the grades they
earned in all their courses during that semester. The formula used for
the calculations of the Grade Point Average (GPA) is as follows :
To find GPA weighted by credit hours, follow these
steps:
1. Multiply each numeric grade value by the number
of credits the course was worth. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) refers to the overall
2. Add these numbers together. GPA, which includes dividing the number of quality points
3. Divide by the total number of credits you took earned in all courses attempted by the total credit hours in all
attempted courses.

 CONCLUSION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

In conclusion , I have learn about the early exposure to university learning method in
Ued 102 study skills subject, which are completing assignment in group or individual. I
also learn that is crucial to be punctual, cooperative and confident. Being university
student is not as easy as it seems to be. We have to be prepared mentally and
physically during university study and in the future.

I would like to Thankyou to Madam Amirah binti Hassan because monitored me in UED
subject in this semester 1. Thankyou to all my friends too who helped me to complete
my UED assignment.

So alhamdulillah that's all. Thankyou, Assalamualaikum and bye!
