Zulaikha likes to spend her free time with leisure on the field like playing volleyball. Zulaikha is the third child of 4 siblings. She is very spoiled with her family. Zulaikha lives in batu pahat with her family. She chose uitm jengka because her sister had studied there and wanted to follow in her sister's footsteps. Zulaikha really likes to participate in the national knights co-curriculum because she has the opportunity to learn foot marching. Zulaikha wants to be a successful student and student dean at uitm jengka. Zulaikha someone who is very easy to tremble. again when asked for a presentation. but he could still control his nervousness. Zulaikha really misses her brother who is studying in the UK. She really hopes she can meet her brother. Zulaikha hopes that in the next 10 years he will be a lecturer in one of the UITM in this malysia. I as her friend prayed that she would succeed. Zulaikha has a social media account like instagram called zckie._. I hope my relationship with Zulaikha as friends remains until jannah.

8 Steps To College Success

Attend all classes.

One of the best ways to be successful in college is to attend all classes.

Although you will be tested on material from the course text, most of the test questions will come from lectures.

Become an Active Learner.

Unlike high school, in college, you can’t learn all of the material just reading over it a couple of times. You need to write and recite the information to get it into long-term memory.

Participate in Class.

If you feel a bit uncomfortable participating in class, set a goal to either ask or answer one question during each class.

Get to Know Your Lecturers.

Take a few minutes and stop to talk with your lecturer before or after class or during office hours.

Form Study Groups with Friends.

Study Groups of about 3-4 people are known to be very effective.

However, make sure that you include friends who are serious about doing well in their studies, because only then they will contribute.

Stay Up to Date with Your Work.

Many new college students have difficulty keeping up with all of the reading that’s assigned in class.

If you get behind in your reading, you may never have time to catch up. The workload in college just increases as the semester progresses.

Never procrastinate!

Be Receptive to Change.

If the strategies that you used in high school aren’t working, ask you lecturer or tutor for suggestions for different ways to learn.

Even though the strategies that they suggest may not seem like they’ll work, you must be willing to give them a chance.

If you don’t make changes in the way you take notes, read your texts or prepare for exams, for example, you won’t see changes in your performance.

Work Hard This Semester.

Forget about doing all your assignments in the evening. If you’re taking fifteen credits this semester, you’ll need a minimum of thirty hours (two hours outside of class for every hour in class) to do your work.

If you want high grades, if you work slowly or if you’re taking difficult courses, you’ll need more time to do your work well.

Goal Setting

• Goals are things that we hope to achieve in our future, things we aim for as we pursue a certain course of action.

• By setting goals, it helps us to do work, attend class, study for exams and focus on something that we want.

• It is a process for thinking about your ideal future and motivating yourself to turn this vision of the future into reality.

The Characteristic of Goals

3 Keys to Success

1. Write down Your Goals

The first thing you do in the morning will determine what your day is going to be like. Program your mind to be in a powerful state from the moment upon waking, and you are guaranteed to have a productive and great day.

How you can do this is by writing your goals down, every morning. Then, once you’ve done that, circle the most important goal, the goal that in the long-term will have the most impact on your life.

Now ask yourself this question: “What actions can I make today that will change everything and take me closer to this goal?”

2. Create a Powerful Belief System

When people ask you about your goals in life, don’t be afraid to say it out loud. If you have high goals, they might laugh and look at you funny. But if you’re insecure about your goals, you will make insecure decisions that will lead you nowhere.

Be determined and believe in yourself. People will respect you for having the guts for going after what you truly desire.

The first step to living and achieving your dream is to believe it and imagine it. When you believe in your mind that you’ve already achieved your goals, you will develop a sense of certainty. That certainty will lead to action steps, when you know what the outcome is going to be it’s much easier to pick out the actions that are necessary to get there.

3. Invest in Yourself

Some things you can do today to invest in yourself are:

Start reading books. Everyone buys books, but very few actually reads them cover to cover.
Stop reading books and start studying them. Few read the books they buy, but even fewer remembers what they read. Stop reading books and start studying books.
Study at least one hour a day. “One hour per day of study will put you at the top of your field within three years. Within five years you’ll be a national authority. In seven years, you can be one of the best people in the world at what you do.” – Brian Tracy
Take notes. Never leave home without a pen and a piece of paper. The best ideas often comes in the least appropriate times, write them down. Don’t trust your mind to remember them—it won’t. Writing it down right away will also allow your mind to store and come up with more ideas.

Long-Term And Short-Term Goals

Long-term goals is the objective of the goals that you set end of the year for yourself for four or five years from now,or even for a lifetime.

Short-term goals we can set for an hour from now, end of day or semester.

Academics And Personal Goals

ACADEMIC GOALS IS something that related with our works. Such as for students, we must completing assignment and preparing for exam.

PERSONAL GOAL IS something that related with our daily life.

WHAT IS SKILL ?

THE ABILITY TO DO SOMETHING WELL .

WHY HUMAN ARE MORE BRILLIANT THAN OTHER LIVING THINGS ??

♥♥ Human are the best creation and we are given intteligence .

♥♥ Our brains is three times big than gorilla’s brain .

MEN VS WOMEN BRAIN

Human relationships.
Women tend to communicate more effectively than men, focusing on how to create a solution that works for the group, talking through issues, and utilizes non-verbal cues such as tone, emotion, and empathy whereas men tend to be more task-oriented, less talkative, and more isolated. These differences explain why men and women sometimes have difficulty communicating and why men-to-men friendships look different from friendships among women.

Left brain vs. both hemispheres.
Men tend to process better in the left hemisphere of the brain while women tend to process equally well between the two hemispheres. This difference explains why men are generally stronger with left-brain activities and approach problem-solving from a task-oriented perspective while women typically solve problems more creatively and are more aware of feelings while communicating.

Emotions.
Women typically have a larger deep limbic system than men, which allows them to be more in touch with their feelings and better able to express them, which promotes bonding with others. Because of this ability to connect, more women serve as caregivers for children. The down side to this larger deep limbic system is that it also opens women up to depression, especially during times of hormonal shifts such as after childbirth or during a woman’s menstrual cycle.

Brain size.
Typically, men’s brains are 11-12% bigger than women’s brains. This size difference has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence, but is explained by the difference in physical size between men and women. Men need more neurons to control their greater muscle mass and larger body size, thus generally have a larger brain.

A=4 , B=3 , C=2 , D=1 , F=0

GRADE POINT = GRADE VALUE × UNIT EARNED

G.P.A

The total credit value registered and attempted in = the assessment of a semester The total credit units acquired in the same semester
