INTRODUCTION

Greetings and Assalammualaikum to those who are reading my e-portfolio. My name

is Muhammad Aliff Aiman bin Mohd Sahari. I was born on December 3rd, 2004 at
Selayang Hospital, Selangor. I was born in Selangor but I reside in Sungai Besi, Kuala
Lumpur along with my mom’s family. I am currently a full-time student who is
studying at UiTM Kampus Machang, Kelantan. My academic program is Diploma in
Public Administration (AM110) which is the course that I put as my first choice at
UPU.

So, my main purpose in writing this portfolio is to introduce UED102. This subject is
compulsory and essential for every Semester 1 student. It helps students to overcome
academic problems that they are facing when they step into the university level. There
are 7 modules that I learned throughout this whole subject.

TOPIC 1: GETTING READY TO LEARN

For this part, I learned a lot about the differences and the transitions from
school life to university life. These are a few transitions that I learned:

Transition is a process of change or shift from one state to another. Basically, transitioning is not an easy task. Adapting

to a new life is a long process and very difficult to do so, especially when it comes to university life. We have to be

independent in terms of finance, help from our parents and etc. as we are living far away from them. Moreover, we have

to make friends and meet new people, find out new things by ourselves, and make necessary adjustments to our old

lifestyle as we stepped into a new phase of life. Adapting to a new life is hard but, every cloud has a silver lining, as it is

a worthwhile experience.

8 STEPS TO BE A SUCCESSFUL COLLEGE STUDENT

The

re are 8 steps to be a successful college student. These steps are very reliable and I personally have been following these

steps since the first day I came here. These are a few examples that I use until now:

1) Attend all classes - Attending classes is compulsory in order to stay up to date with the syllabus. Not only that,
but we can also ask the lecturer physically which is the most efficient way to understand the topic that you have

left out.

2) Become an active learner- This will make you an energetic student and will boost your morale.
3) Form study groups with friends- Forming a study group will help you gain more knowledge rather than self-
studying. This is because you will gain more ideas from your groupmates.

4) Work hard this semester- By working hard, you will earn a Dean’s list and make your CGPA above 3.50.

Long-term goals and short-term goals

Long-term goals are objectives of the goals that you set at the end of the year
for yourself for the upcoming years or even for a lifetime.

While short-term goals are goals that you set for the upcoming weeks, months
or semester that you want to achieve in a short period of time.

My life goals

My goals for this semester

Module 3: Time-Management

Time management is a process of organizing and planning how to divide your

time between specific activities. Time management is vital especially if you are
at a university level. If you do not manage your time wisely, everything will not
be going to be smooth as planned.

Importance of time-management

TOPIC 5: MEMORY, LEARNING, AND

IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

WHAT IS MEMORY?
Memory is the process of reproducing or recalling what has been learned and retained
especially through associative mechanisms.

3 types of memory:
1) Sensory memory- numerous incoming pieces of information will be stored for an
instant.

2) Short-term memory- only has limited storage. The information given must be
repetitive in order to make it as long-term memory.

3) Long-term memory- an unlimited memory and has large storage. If the information
is not being used in a long period of time, it will start fading away and lost.

MODULE 6: TAKING LECTURE NOTES

What is note-taking?

Note-taking is a process of recording or writing particular information that is

given from different sources or platforms.

Why do we take notes?

28 | U I T M C A W A N G A N K E L A N T A N
 UED102 E-PORTFOLIO

Methods of note-taking:

1) Cornell’s note-taking method

It provides a systematic format for condensing and organizing notes. This
system of taking notes is specifically designed for a high school or college-level
student. It helps us to improve our note-taking skills.
