JOM KE KULIAH

here are simple step on how to get the most out of a lecture.

**before the lecture begins

1.Prepare for the lecture so that you will be more likely to predict the organization of the lecture. Check the course outline to see if the lecturer has listed the topic or key ideas in the upcoming lecture. If so, convert this information into questions to be answered in the lecture.

2.Come early to the lecture okie.(not during JOM KULIAH campaign only)

3.Sit as near to the front of the room as possible to eliminate distractions. And don't forget to turn off your cell-phone.

4.Have a proper attitude. Listening well is a matter of paying close attention.


**During the lecture.

1.you are goint to take a good note rite,so get your lecture paper and pencil or pen ready

2.Write down the title of the lecture, the name of the course and the date. Listen carefully to the introduction (if there is one). By knowing this outline, you will be better prepared to anticipate what notes you will need to take.

3.Copy what's written on the blackboard and transparencies, especially the outline. To make sure that you get everything, get in the habit of skipping words like "the" and "a" and make use of shorthand and abbreviations. Summarize your notes in your own words, not the instructor's.

Remember: your goal is to understand what the professor is saying, not to try to record, exactly, everything he or she says.

4.Jot down details or examples that support the main ideas. Take down examples and sketches which the lecturer presents.

5.If there is a summary at the end of the lecture, pay close attention to it.

6.At the end of the lecture, ask questions about points that you did not understand.


**After the lecture.

1. Revise your notes as quickly as possible, preferably immediately after the lecture, since at that time you will still remember a good deal of the lecture. Also it is a good idea to reread your notes within 24 hours of the lecture. (Dr Muhaya pun pesan bende nie jugak)

2. During the first review period after the lecture, coordinate reading and lecture notes.

3. Review your lecture notes at least once a week. Also, review the lecture notes before the next lecture.
