Before we enter the university, there must be such a lot thing in our mind. Like me, I always thought that university can be a really stressful place cause there’s a lot new thing that we’re going to learn and I’m afraid I cant catch up the syllabus. After a few weeks here, I learn that I’ve to organized everything so I didn’t missed the topics that I need to learn. There’s also a lot of different between in the high school life and the university life.
In my high school, the subject teacher will passed out the notes to all the students while in the university we have to make our own notes. For me, I like to do my own notes cause I can design the notes the way I like it and more colorful. Furthermore, I’ve a lot of colorful pen so that I can be used to write down my notes. I love to write rather than typing here but in this era,typing are lot more easier and can be reach through all the people in this world. Design your own notes and it will be more fun than the teacher notes in the high school.
The huge different when I step in to the university life is, I didnt stay with my parents anymore. This is sad for me actually cause since I was born I never get really lives separated with my family. When i was still in school, my mom will always cooked my favorite dishes for me every time i settle down my homework or maybe a school project. While come the university life, sometimes I just skip my meals cause honestly I already sicked with the same lauk that the cafe served everyday. Haih, I miss my mom’s cooking already:'(
In addition, living in the university life is actually lots fun cause there’s a lot of new friends we can meet every day. While in the high school, we met the same person everyday and I think you probably know all your friends in the school. In the university, there’s a thousands people around you. It’s actually a lot of benefits when there’s a thousands people around you. Surely, you can have a good business if you know a lot of people or maybe you can ask for help if you need something.
There’s a lot more the differences between high school and the university life but this only a few thing I can listed down due to my few weeks in this UiTM Alor Gajah. Soon I will know a lot the different and I am ready for the changes!
LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY.
When it comes to learn, people have different strengths and preference. Different people has a different style of learning. There are few popular learning style inventories such as;
- Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory (LSI)
- Fleming’s VARK Learning Style Questionnaire (VARK)
- Jackson’s Learning Styles Profiler (LSP)
In this post I will explain about the Fleming’s VARK Learning Style Questionnaire (VARK). In Fleming’s VARK learning style model, learners are identified as one of four different types: visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinesthetic. So lets identify which learners type you are.
VISUAL
AUDITORY
READING
KINESTHETIC
So which one are you? I am the auditory learner. I need a quite space to study and do my works. In the class, I need to focus on what are the lecturer said so that i can get the information. Here are few tips for auditory learner to learn better:
- participate in study group.
- teach others what you have learn.
- recite aloud.
- ask question during lessons.
Identify which learner you are and find out how can you learn better!
