Hello, Assalamualaikum and Salam UiTM di Hatiku ❤️
ABOUT MYSELF 🌷
My name is Noor Azyan Binti Muhammad Fadzir. I am a student who is currently study at UiTM Melaka, Alor Gajah Campus. I was born on 2nd March 2001 at Hospital Kuala Lumpur. My secondary school is SMK Seri Kundang, Rawang Selangor. 🤗
One of the most important purpose I am doing this portfolio is to introduce the student about UED 102 or well known as Soft Skills. UED 102 provides students with learning skills essential for varsity life, which should be within each student.
I have learned this topic by Madam Busrah, a lecturer at UiTM Melaka.
MODUL 1 : GETTING READY TO LEARN
Guys, our school era are over now. We are officially becaome a university student, so we need to be more matured and independent in everything. We are also need to set up our visions and targets for an achievement, attitude and management.
Transition from high school to university is a big one. Its was totally different with our school life,
so here, I will show to all of you a few things about the differents between UNIVERSITY AND SCHOOL 🎓
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STUDYING IN SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY
The conclusion that we can make is in school, your time is structered by your parents and teachers.
But, in university you manage your own time.
Your parents and teachers also will remind you of your responsibilities and help you manage them, but in university you must balance your responsibilities and set your own priporeties.
Plus, if you need assistance, you should
intiate contact with your lecturer or tutor. No more have a teacher to approach you if they believe you are falling behind.
Everyone know that making the moves from being in school is not an easy task. Student need to make new friends at the new place.Student also need to stay in hostel which is they must live with an unknown roommates and treat them such their own family. There were many things student need to getting know and adapt with the university life.
I also want to share with you all about the steps of college success.
8 STEPS TO COLLEGE SUCCESS
- Attend all the classes
- Become an active learner
- Participate in class
- Get to know your lecturer

Madam Busrah also told us about Learning Style Inventory :)
There were have three elements , which is
- Auditory
- Visual
- Kinesthetic
WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE ???
I have asked by Madam Busrah to identify my Learning style Inventory by doing this :-
After I anwersed the question, and count them, I got 8 for Visual , 6 for Auditory and 5 for Kinesthetic style. So, the visual style is the highest score.
The conslusion is, Visual style is my preferred learning style and I think it is true.
MODULE 2: GOAL SETTING
A goal is an idea that is planned today to achieve success in the future. Everyone must have tehir own goals to achieve because goals will give us direction and keep us focused on where we want to end up.

MODULE 3 : TIME MANAGEMENT
Time management is the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between specific activities. Good time management enables you to work smarter, not harder. So that you get more done in less time, even when time is tight and pressures are high. falling to manage your time damages your effectiveness and causes stress.

Students can learn how to manage time weel, otherwise they will continue with something that unprofitable.
This is example of my daily schedule.
MODULE 4 : MEMORY, LEARNING & IMPROVING CONCENTRATION
Memory is the power or process of reproducing or recalling what has been learned.
There are 3 types of memory which are
- Sensory memory
Sensory memory is the shortest-term element of memory. It is the ability to retain of sensory information after the original stimuli have ended. It acts as a kind of buffer for stimuli received through the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, which are retained accurately, but very briefly. For example, the ability to look at something and remember what it looked like with just a second of observation is an example of sensory memory.
- Short-term memory
Our short-term memory have only limited storage. The information must be repeated in order to get information to long-term memory.
- Long-term memory
Long-term memory is unlimited and have large storage. If the information is not being used for long time, the information will be lost.
MEMORY STRATEGIES
WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
- Focus your attention
- Utilize mnemonic devices
- Avoid cramming
- Structure and organize
- Visualize concepts
- Relate new information to things you already know
- Read aloud
- Vary your study routine
- Get some sleep
FACTORS THAT AFFECT YOUR MEMORY
- Ability to retain
- Good health
- Age of the learner
- Maturity
- Intelligence
- Interest
- Over learning
- Speed of learning
- Meaningfulness of the material
- Sleep or rest
MODULE 5 : TAKING LECTURE NOTES
Why we need to take lecture notes?
We need to take lecture notes because the lecture will give some additional information which is not available in the text book. We can use the additional information in our examination .
Also, our body will stay active and helps to avoid feelings of drowsiness or distraction. Mind will always active when hearing to lecture and take notes.
Note taking Strategies
- Don't write down every single word
- Pay attention
- Leave gaps
- Highlight, underline and brackets
- Rewrite notes during study
MODUL 6 : ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & PERFOMANCE
In this topic, I have learned two subtopic which are avoiding plagiarism and calculating grade point average
PLAGIARISM
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is copying another's works or borrowing someone else's original idea.
This is wrong because it is a form of theft.By taking the ideas and words by others and pretending they are your own, you are stealing someone else's intellectual property.The plagiarizer subsequently benefits from this theft.
CGPA
WHAT IS GPA AND CGPA ?
GPA and CGPA are two different things but have the same characteristic. They are related and inseparable from each other.GPA and CGPA are benchmarks used by institutions of higher learning to assess their students' achievement levels.GPA stand for Grade Point Average and CGPA stand for Cumulative Grade Point Average.
This is example on how to calculate our GPA and CGPA.
A + : 4.00
A : 4.00
A - : 3.70
B + : 3.30
B : 3.00
B - : 2.70
C + : 2.30
C : 2.00
C - : 1.70
D + : 1.30
D : 1.00
E : 0.70
F : 0.00
Here is the example on how to calculate our GPA and CGPA
That's all from me. I hope other students can leverage this portfolio study of skills and achieve excellence in their studies.
Thank You :)
