Study Smart but Not Study Hard:


This week, I attended a workshop about “Study Smart but Not Study Hard”. The presenter of this workshop is Madam Fathilah Mohd Alipiah. She teach us the skill of study to let us know how to get ready for exams and quizzes.

Before study, you need to do physical preparation. First of all, you can open a soft music to relax ourselves. Then, you may put all the resources for your study together with you. When you study, you may control your stress because if you stress cannot concentrate to your study.
Besides that, you can set the goals for your study or reversion path; for example, you can plan what you should study and do during the next holiday. It will let you finish your work early.
Besides that, you should understand the time management. Usually, student will always say not enough time to do assignment. Actually, this is because they don’t know how to manage their schedule. You may do the important assignment first such as do the assignment that want to pass up lately just do the other assignment that want to pass up next time.


On the other hands, the capability of brain is very powerful. The energies of brain let you perpetrate the thing you think; “if you think nothing, do nothing; but if you think you can, you can do it”. The highway of our brain is very busy, so it can do and think many things.


For the pre-read, you have to focus on SQR3, there’s 3 R inside includingread to answer the question, write and review multiple times. For efficient study, you can study before sleep; don’t empty your mind to sleep. Because when you wake up, your mind have deep impress for that path you study before you sleep.


In conclusion, I will apply these skills when I study. I hope I can get good result in this semester.

Study is working:

This is first time I attended workshop in UUM. The workshop title is “study is working” and the presenter is Encik Ariffin Abdul Mutalib. He told us that the purpose of student is study. A student should study hard and get colorful result in exam. Therefore, he had presented us the skill and theory of study to us and hope us become an excellent student.

During the workshop presentation, he explained that a good student should be good attitude. This workshop focuses on three stages which are before class, during class and after class. Before the class, you should prepare all the material of study; such as note and highlight pen. During the class, you must concentrate to study. You should write down all the important point that lecturer tell us in the lecture hall. After the class, you should brush up on the notes that lecturer teach you that day.

In addition, the most suitable time to focus your academic is between 8am to 5pm. So, you should take time your study in this period. Even though that period no class or cancel class, you may do research for your academic. Sometimes, you can communicate with your course mates about your academic or do discussion with them. It will help you gain more knowledge.
Besides that, you thinking is also very important when you study. The thinking of you must be dynamic. For example, don’t believe the ghost in the life because it is illusion. Every student should “think out of box”. When you think any idea or get any information, you may write down in your notebook. It will help do research and can refer when you need it.

On the other hands, you should be confidence to yourself. You must believe you can do it when you meet any challenge or problem. For example, you may coolness to present your assignment to your lectures and classmates. If you nerves will influence your emotion, so cannot present your presentation clearly.

In conclusion, I learn how to studying well now. I should be positive thinking and good attitude to get more knowledge in UUM. I also very appreciate that UUM give me this chance to understand what I should do when I study.

Oral Presentation:

In this week, Pn Rafidah gave explanation us a very useful topic about the Oral Presentation. Presentation is very important for a university students because we need present our project or product to lecturers and students. From the presentation, lecturers will give you mark basses on your explanation and representation.

Pn Rafidah explicated that normally the person who first time present will feel nervous when presentation. So, every presenter need prepare the scrip before the presentation then practice and practice again. Besides that, if the presenter practice well, they will not forget what they want to talk and can make sure will not exceed the time limit.

Normally, presenter should make sure the timing for short presentation keep within the 7-minute time limit and each slide no more than 2 or 3 minute. Presenter can also show the power point to the author let them more easy to understand the content of presentation.

The volume of presenter must be sure to speak loud enough so that all of the audience can hear presenter. If presenter speak too soft, it will make author don not understand the presenter.

On the other hands, presenter need pay attention about the pacing and speed of talk. The presenter who are a bit nervous talk too fast. All that adrenaline causes them to speed through their talk. That makes it hard for the audience to follow.

In this week, I learned about that must confident when oral presentation. It can make the presenter talk more clearly and loudly.
