WEDNESDAY, 8 AUGUST 2018

hi, assalamualaikum 👋😊

it's me again hehehehe. in my first post I'm not introducing myself properly. I'm so sorry 🙏 okay now let's know a little things about me.

my name is Aimi Fatihah Binti Ahmad Rozelan & just call me Aimi. as I can say, easy and sweet 😜 i'm from Malacca. it takes about 4 hours and a half to come here. goshhhh. but it's okay. study far away from our hometown can makes us learn a lot of things that not all people can get. agree with me? i'm freshly ex-student to Malacca Girls High School (MGHS). I came from all girls' school. inshaAllah i'll be able to control myself from having a culture shock because of the transition from all girls' school to university life that has a lot of boysssss. phew 😅 as long as I remember my parents, inshaAllah there's nothing will be happen. amin 😊

okay that's all about me. sorry because i'm not that good to introduce myself. i'll fix it next time :)

now let's get started for this week UED102's post, YEAYYYYY 🙆

same like last week, this week also we learn about 2 topics. taking lecture notes & academic integrity and performance.

taking lecture notes; this lecture was given by Madam Fadhilah.

when we're still in the school life, all notes were given by our teachers. but in this new life (university life) that thing will not ever happened. maybe certain subjects yes (see how our lecturers laaaa) so we as a student we should learn how to take an effective notes during our lecture so that it can be helpful if we want to do some revision.

WHAT IS NOTE TAKING?

writing down ideas from lectures and readings in our own words

WHY TAKE NOTES?

and this some additional to the reason why we must take notes....

help us to pay attention in class
help us take ownership of ideas
help the lecturers test students on how well they captured given information

WHY REVIEW NOTES?

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 to ask the lecturer
not enough time to absorb all the information given in class if it's not reviewed on a regular basis

"TAKE TIME EVERY DAY TO REVIEW NOTES"

WHY RECAPTURE NOTES?

frees you up to write in quick, shorthand during class

AN EXCELLENT TEST-PREP STRATEGY FOR REINFORCING INFORMATION. BETTER THAN RE-COPYING, THIS TIME YOU'RE DIGESTING & REPHRASING

INTRODUCTORY QUESTIONS

what material do we need?

loose-leaf paper
binder
folders with pockets
pens, pencils

BEFORE CLASS

review the notes from the day before
review your reading assignments
make sure you have paper, text, pens, pencils
write the date at the top of your paper for notes
leave spaces between the lines so that you can add information later

PHYSICAL FACTORS

A) SEATING

near the front & center
better vision
better hearing

it has been proven the students who sits close to the front are more likely to do better in class because harder to fall asleep, the board is easier to read & the instructor can see you more clearly.

B) AVOID DISTRACTION

doorways, window glare
peers

HOW DO WE TAKE NOTES?

date & label notes
give ourselves space to write
uses abbreviations, symbols and acronym
use an outline to show main ideas, supports, examples
use our own language

abbreviations

symbols

acronym

WHILE TAKING NOTES, BE AN AGGRESSIVE NOT A PASSIVE LISTENER. ASK QUESTIONS & DISCUSS IF IT'S PERMITTED.

MOOD OF LECTURER
observation is the key

keen observers focus their attention on the details and make the most of their time during lectures by preparing & reviewing BEFORE THE LECTURE START

key actions to note as you OBSERVE your instructor:

be alert to repetition
watch the board or overhead projector
notice the instructor's interests level
let go judgements about lecture styles

Some tips to help you when your instructor isn't too interesting......

When you notice your attention slipping, pay attention to the ACT of writing
Ask questions, ask for some demonstrations or do some discussions

CHANCES ARE THE QUESTION YOU THINK IS 'DUMB' IS ON THE MIND OF SEVERAL CLASSMATES

TYPES OF TAKING NOTES

1. Cornell Note

2. Two Collumn Method

3. Outlining

4. Mapping Method

5. Sentences Method

HOW DO WE REVIEW AFTER A CLASS?

review notes along with the book
create our own example
discuss and compare notes with others
re-write notes
practise those skills you wish to develop
ask for clarification

REMEMBER SQ4R

and......that's the end of the first topic, YIPEE! I hope after this i'll be use all the method given just now to write & make an effective notes. thank you Madam for exposing this topic to me 😊

OKAY NOW LET'S PROCEED TO SECOND TOPIC BY SIR SUFYAN;

academic integrity and performance

what is the meaning of intergrity for the students like us?

the exact meaning of intergrity is (1)

we as a student we should be honest when we do our work. use our critical thinking to make the best result without copying or plagiat from other's work. if the students do that kind of mistake, it shows that the students are not responsible with the works that were given to them.

plagiarism is an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author. (by; Dictionary.com)

HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM?

1) PLANNING YOUR PAPER

consult your lecturer/tutor
take effective notes that easy for us to read it back

2) WRITING YOUR PAPER

cite your sources
make it clear who said what
know how to pharaprase
evaluate your sources
include a reference page

we'll be proceed to......
