What is UED102?

UED 102 or better known as study skills is an important learning skill for every student in going through university life well. Basically, UED like a course where it opens up a student’s mind towards basic academic skills like setting the right goals, memory strategies, how to take lecture notes, etc. That will help students overcome academic demands at the tertiary level. After taking this course, students should begin their personal study skills portfolio like mine.

MODULE 1 – LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY

• I am, without a doubt, an auditory learner.
• This analysis is extremely beneficial since, at long last, I have identified a learning style that will allow me to progress in my studies.
• I could simply understand the subject that I found tough by watching instructive videos, particularly on YouTube.
• In fact, I can use all three major learning styles to improve my study abilities.
• Reading mind maps while listening to my favorite song allows me to merge visual and auditory modes.
• I feel that by combining them, we would achieve a better result and improve learning abilities.

This Job Task Analysis is very useful for us to create our daily schedule based on our current needs. For each activity, we calculate how much time should we spent within 24 hours so we do not waste our time with things that does not give benefits to us.

Prioritized To-Do List

The main purpose of having prioritized to-do list is not to make sure everything done on the spot. This list helps you to set your mind of the priority of each task that you need to complete due to the deadline. Prioritized to-do list encourages us to systemize our task management so that, we won’t miss any single important assignments. It’s not that we take easy of the less priority task, we just make it easier to refer with task need to be done first. I also attached the example of prioritized to-do list above.

MODULE 4 – MEMORY, LEARNING & IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF MEMORY :

1. Sensory memory

CONCENTRATION STRATEGIES

Concentrate is focusing and paying attention to things that we learn.

After I done fill the concentration chart, I found out one of my problems is I having hard time to concentrate during afternoon class as I felt sleepy and having my phone as distraction because I keep playing with it. Therefore, I need to take immediate action how to manage my schedule and avoiding things that can distracted me during class.

MODULE 5 – TAKING LECTURE NOTES

Note Taking Strategies

1) Take well-organized notes in outline form

This will help you to identify the main ideas. Start large, work down to details.

2) Take notes in complete thoughts, but abbreviate, reduce, and simplify

Don’t try to write the profs lecture word for word. You will fall behind and miss something important. Don’t copy overheads unless the professor gives you time to do so.

3) Separate and label the notes for each class

Start a new set of notes for each day, clearly separated from the day before; it makes your notes easier to study.

4) Make your notes easy to read

It’s easier to study your notes if you can read them.

5) Be an aggressive note taker

Sit where you can hear and see the professor without straining. Stay alert.

6) Start taking notes when the professor starts talking

Don’t wait for a big thought to strike you. You could easily become distracted and miss the big thought.

7) Isolate and learn the specialized vocabulary

Write down and highlight difficult or new words. Write definitions, or look them up later.

8) Separate facts from opinion and add your own ideas

Note what is fact and what is the professor’s opinion. Add your own thoughts; write notes directly to yourself.
