TOPIC 1 - GETTING READY TO LEARN

a) Differences between school and university

1-Freedom
In University,Student can make decision either want to stay bed or go class ,if you are a smart student don't skip classes , while in School ,Student have to follow the Rules that to attend all classes and Strict Rules .
In University ,Student can do whatever they want because Parents Doesn't see what we are doing. while in School we are still under care of our parents and don't have freedom to go anywhere.

2-Time Management
When we are in School ,our time is Structured by the School and Parents .While in University this option does apply anymore because we have to manage our own time.

3-Finance
Our daily expenses in University is much pricier compare to School because in university we have to manage our daily expenses at buying Food, costly textbook and anything else ,while we are in school those such thing is provided by the government for free.

4-Attendance
In School,our teacher always remind us going to School everyday and if we doesn't go to school with any relevant reason ,the school are going to take disciplinary action on us.

However in University ,Our Professors aren't typically going to take our attendance and tracking you down if you decided not to come classes because classes and class work is your responsibility that going to determine your future outcome

5-Academicians
Teachers that teach us in school always been strict on us because they want to see their student pass with flying colours and pass in the examination .However, in university we have to take the initiative and approach our lecturers for guidance if we want to pass because they have too much plate to reach us .

The Topic above have been lectured to me by Puan Sabariah Jamaluddin ,a Lecturer from UiTM

– Research has shown that when people put aside a designated time to worry and think about things that stress them out, people worry 35% less within four weeks. For example, give yourself a half hour before you start studying to worry about upcoming exams, your family, or whatever else is on your mind

4) Find an appropriate study environment
