TIME MANAGEMENT

That's a good question what is time management ? Well according to wikipedia time management means is the process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities. As for me time management is simply avoiding me from getting bad grade but actually it does have many advantages that we don't know. Some students like myself have problem managing our own time and we even don't know where to start. We often wasting time with something else as a result we study last minute as well as assignment. Here is where I share to you guys about how to manage our time wisely.

5 strategies for your study systems 

These strategies is just around us and we usually ignored them thinking they have no use to us or we just never acknowledge them. 

- Semester Calendar 

     This calendar is usally be found in your official university website as for uitm students here is the         link ; https://hea.uitm.edu.my/v1/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=72&Itemid=70

- Weekly schedule 

     If you're using android try using an app google calendar you can use it as weekly planner, daily             planner and month planner 

- Daily planner 

      If you're using android smartphone like I do, we can use reminder or keep power by Google for           daily and monthly.  

- Balance academic vs personal life 

   This list can help you organized which task that you need to finish first and that can do later so,          won't be late submitting your assignment. It's not just for academic but it can be use for personal        life too like jotting down that your shampoo is running out so, your life will be organized too.

- Avoid procrastination 

    What is procrastination ? It is an act putting off intentionally the doing of something that should be     done. How you ask to avoid this ? I know how hard this but look on the bright I got a few tips how     to stop this. Write down your goal and set a deadline yourself. Without a deadline can be put               indefinitely. Another way is reward yourself after finishing your assignment or your exam pamper       yourself with some shopping or like my lecture did he bought a book and wrap it nicely until he         finish his master he finally get to open that present.  

BENEFITS OF TIME MANAGEMENT 

What do you get by following all of these ? A lot actually don't believe me well let list a few of the benefits the rest you can know when you use this advice. 

• Keep you on schedule 
• Reduce stress~ no more stress night finishing you assignment for tomorrow.
• Complete work without stress ~ you heard me we will do our assignment more leisurely 
• Build up your confidence 

That's all from me now see you guys when I see you

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 . 

ANALYSIS OF 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.

PART OF BRAIN

WHAT IS MEMORY?

MEMORY IS THE ABILITY TO SAVE AND REMAIN THE INFORMATION AND EXPERIENCE . 

THE COMPUTER ANALOGY

3TYPES OF MEMORY

• SENSORY MEMORY – numerous incoming information from 5 senses will be stored in sensory memory for an instant.When you pay attention to the stimuli it will go to the short-term memory, but if you not pay attention it would not be last long and may lost . 
• 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 – our long term memory is unlimited and have large storage.If the information is not being used for long time.The information will be lost.

STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENT FOR EACH PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES IS SHOWN THROUGH A REPORTING FORM ‘ SPIDER WEB ‘.

GPA CALCULATION

How to calculate Icgpa and Gpa

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
