TOPIC 4:TIME MANAGEMENT & ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS
•The Meaning of Time Management
•Strategy Of Study
- Fixed-Commitment Calendar
Managing your time effectively is crucial to your success. For students transitioning from high school to college, one of the most difficult things to do is schedule study time. In high school, you spent more time in class than you do now that you are in college. In college, it is up to you to make sure you are studying as much as you need to.The best way to ensure that you’re not wasting time and studying sufficiently is to make a schedule that you commit to keeping. To do so, you might consider using a fixed-commitment calendar.
A study timetable is a plan that outlines when and for how long you will study each subject. It can be a very helpful tool for students of all ages, as it can help you to stay organized, on track, and motivated.

TOPIC 5: MEMORY, LEARNING & IMPROVING CONCENTRATION
What is memory?
Memory is the process of taking in information from the world around us, processing it, storing it and later recalling that information, sometimes many years later.
What is brain?
The brain is a complex organ made up of billions of neurons and other cells. It serves as the control center for your entire body, managing functions like thoughts, memories, emotions, sensory experiences, and movements.
There are three types 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-thinking of nothing else
ACTIVITY 2:

How to Prevent Plagiarism?
STEP 1: PLANNING YOUR PAPER

-Take Effective Notes
STEP 2: WRITING YOUR PAPER

-Make It Clear Who Said What
-Know How to Paraphrase

-Include a Reference Page
PARAPHRASING
Using your own words to express someone else’s message or ideas. In a paraphrase, the ideas and meaning of the original source must be maintained; the main ideas need to come through, but the wording has to be your own.
CITATION
The way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source. It also gives your readers the information necessary to find that source again
APA STYLE
We need to follow the exact format to cite sources. The format is
Family name, First name initials, (year of publication) , Title of book , Place of publication, Publisher.
Foe Example:
Lee, H. (1960). To kill a mockingbird. New York: Grand Central Publishing.
What is GPA?
GPA stands for Grade Point Average. GPA is a number that shows a student’s academic achievement. It is calculated by using a grading scale. For example, if a student gets a grade of "A" in a course, it is worth 4 points. If they get a “B”, it is worth 3, and so on. The points are then added together and divided by the total number of courses the student has taken.
What is CGPA?
CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average, a grading system used to assess a student's overall academic performance over a specified period, such as a semester or the entire course duration. It is calculated by averaging the Grade Points obtained in all the subjects, weighted by the number of credits assigned to each subject.
