MY PERSONAL LEARNING STYLE PLAN
My learning styles are visual and auditory. So, diagrams help me a lot in study. I need to create mind maps such as i-think map in my notes. I will highlight my notes with different colour on the important part in my notes. If I want to remember something, I will change the keyword to a song because it easy to remember. I will make a study group with my friends. We will do a discussion and revision to help each other.
UNIVERSITY LIFE
As a university students, we need to be more responsible and productive to arrange our life in university life. High school environment is different with university. High school is teaching environment which students acquires fact and skills while university is learning environment which students must be independent and take responsibility for thinking and applying what have you learned. University life is tough because you need to do everything on your own. There are many differences between university and high school students. For example:
CHARACTERISTICS OF SUCCESSFUL STUDENT
² Never skip the class. You need to attend all the class.
