library moved to a new (permanent) building in mid-July 2001 and in 2002 the library used a
computerized library system, namely ILMU (Integrated Library Management Utilities). A
total of 750 users can be loaded in this library at one time. At the end of 2002, this library was

replace the old ILMU System.

6.0 TOPIC 5 MEMORY, LEARNING AND IMPROVING CONCENTRATION
What is memory?
Memory is the personal record of past experiences. It is the brain's ability to store
information to use later. The ability of someone to remember about a few things in their daily
life like what they are doing now or what they are doing before or to remain any information
in their brain.
TYPES OF MEMORY
14
Tips to improve memory :
1. Massed practice (not good) vs space practice (good, recommended)
Massed practice: Means you memorize and studying all the materials at one time.
Space practice: Involve space time over some period of time.
2. Make time for exercise. Increased concentration is one of the benefits of regular
exercise. Exercise benefits everyone. A 2018 studylooking at 116 fifth-graders found
evidence and suggest daily physical activity could help to improve both concentration
and attention after just 4 weeks.
3. Take a break and improve sleep.
4. Elaboration strategies :
Associations
Acronyms / catchwords
Acrostics / catchphrase
Imagery –visualize the image of the information needed
Organizational strategies
Comprehension monitoring strategies

Do you know why is it important to take lecture notes? This because taking notes can help us
to pay more attention in class. Other than that, it is helping us to study for quiz, test or final

Taking notes also help our brain organizing and processing all the data and information that
we learned and gained.
When is the exact time to take lecture notes?
We should take notes before, during and also after each lecture. This means taking notes
whilst you’re doing any preparatory reading, as well as when you are listening in class and
don’t forget to review your lecture notes periodically after the lecture is finished.
The correct way to take lecture notes :
Put date and label notes
Spend some space to write note
Use simple words and symbols
Use an outline to show :
Main ideas

Examples
Use our own language by follow what we can more understand.
16
More tips :
Become an active listener during lecture time
Focus your attention physically and make eye contact with the lecturer
Listen with an open mind.
Listen and take notes for the main points and related details
Ask and answer the question.
Don’t write down every words.
Highlight the important keywords.
Strategies to become an active and good listener :

Be attentive, but relaxed.
Listen to the words and try to picture what the lecture is saying.
Don't interrupt and don't impose your "solutions."
Wait for the lecture to pause to ask clarifying questions.
Pay attention in the class mentally.

8.0 TOPIC 7 ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND PERFORMANCE
Academic integrity means acting in a way that is honest, fair, respectful and responsible
in your studies and academic work. It means applying these values in your own work.
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization. It
is action of taking ideas, writing or other’s creation and claim that the creation is their own
work. If in our own words, plagiarism is like copy and paste from a source without give them
a credit.
How to avoid plagiarism?
1. We need to think our own idea and created it ourselves.
2. Use the word or ideas with the permission but don’t copy all the words exactly.
3. Put the link of the web that you take the information for the credit purpose.
4. Paraphrase the sentences but be careful because it still can be detect as plagiarism if
