1.ACADEMIC RESOURCES

-PERPUSTAKAAN AL BUKHARI

                                                 

This is our newest library that most of the interim student go here to finish their assignment and that includes me as well because i dont have a laptop so this is the main place that students like me would go to do their assignment that have to be done using a laptop

-HEA BUILDINGS 

Here we have the one and only UITM JENGKA HEA BUILDING where students can go here if they problems with their study such as have to repeat paper or maybe flunk in their previous semester

2.HOUSING,DINING AND TRANSPORTATION RESOURCES 

  -BUSES

The bus are provided by the university for student that have event that include large number of student to be transported to the location.So far i had only given the chance to ride this bus once and that was to went to a football match at Stadium Jengka which was Felda United againts PDRM.

 -DEWAN MAKAN

This is the where the siswa would have their breakfast,lunch,dinner or maybe supper.The dewan makan would open at 6.a.m. at would close at 11.p.m. and the food here is very cheap with a variety of dishes that could be enjoyed by the students

 -KOLEJ MAT KILAU

All the Siswa will be placed here in kolej mat kilau although there are many blocks in kolej mat kilau but most of the interim student would only be staying in three blocks which is block A,B and D but after the interim the Siswa would be reshuffle into different blocks according to their Faculty.

The tennis court is provided for student to use freely as their heart content

You could see many student often use this court because both male and female student have interest in this sport.

TOPIC FIVE:MEMORY LEARNING AND IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

UNDERSTANDING MEMORY PROCESS

The second topic that was been lecture to us is given by Encik Zulhafizal Othman and he said in the journey of learning we need to have 5 basic rules which is:

1.intention(niat)

2.attempted(berusaha)

3.prayer and tawakkal

4.dont use knowledge in the path of evil

5.parents blessing

these are the most basic thing you need to have in order to become a good student.

"knowledge comes with learning learning

skills come with experience but 

attitude never come it need to be develop"-vishaak

MEMORY VS BRAIN

-memory is the ability of an individual to keep,defend and remember a information and experience(computer software)

-brain is an organ(computer hardware)

THE FIRST ACTIVITY

This is shown that i mostly used my left brain during the past few years of my life and since my score is 44.44 this means that i am truly a dominant left brain.

RELEVANCE BETWEEN BRAIN AND MEMORY

-Analogy like a computer

COMPUTER	HUMAN
Cpu	brain
mouse	hand
pendrive	memory
keyboard	mouth
speaker	mouth
microphone	ear

-encoding/input(computer:keyboard,camera

                           human:our 5 senses)

-storage(computer:hard disk,thumb drive

               human:3types of memory which is SM,STM and LTM)

-retrieval/output(computer:computer screen,printer

                           human:wrting,talking)

MEMORY

The memory has been classified into three types which is Short Memory(SM),Short Term Memory(STM) and Long Term Memory(LTM)

SHORT MEMORY

-it is only temporary

-if it was given enough attention it will enter SHORT TERM MEMORY but if it is not given attention it will vanished

SHORT TERM MEMORY

-only lasted for 30second to 24 hours

-some SHORT TERM MEMORY will enter LONG TERM MEMORY if it was repeated over and over again

LONG TERM MEMORY

-a memory of something in a long period of time

-every information that is restored in the LONG TERM MEMORY will lasted forever but it depends on the person whether he is capable or not to recall  this memory

RECALL

-weakness of a person to call back his LONG TERM MEMORY and sometimes described as forget

SECOND ACTIVITY

 This activity determines your memory level and it looks like i dont have a good memory to remember all the numbers and i even got 2 wrong number

MEMORY STRATEGIES

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY

1.avoid doing massed practice because your brain cannot comprehend a large amout of information in a short time so you need to regularly do spaced practice because it will give your brain to take all the information in its best shape

2.divide your time such as if it was a subject that needs you to read or memorize so try to read only 2 chapter for a day and not the whole chapter a day before the exams

3.try to use elaboration strategies like the aeronyms technique which is you simply take the front alphabet of every word that you need to memorize and make it into an easy sentence to memorized

CAUSES OF POOR CONCRNTRATION

1.lack of attention

2.lack of interest

3.lack of motivation

4.distraction from others

5.uncomfortable environment

6.physiological matters like illness

7.phychological matters like having personal problems

STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

1.Use motivational and organizational strategies

-create interest in work

-develop a positive attitude towards your work

-use goal strategies

-use time according to time management studies

2.Create a positive learning environment

-find a better location

-reduce multitasking

-minimize distraction

3.Deal with internal distraction

-faced your personal problems

-deal with competing activities

4.Use active learning strategies
