STUDIES....
Assalamualaikum.. may Allah bless you the readers. Today I would like to blog about studies seem I am in my final year of electrical engineering bachelor degree study. Everything that I wrote here are base on my opinion, it cannot be absolutely false, we can share the idea here!!Every normal people have a standard size of brain but with different rate of activity. Some of us really good using their brain with rotors in sports (football,badminton etc..) and some can manipulate their brain in the field of education and research.
Less of us have total ability in mastering all of this.. playing musical instrument can make you think and act in parallel.. How?? from my ideas, if you are playing drums, beating drum melodies will used snare and bass drum, at the same time, you need to play hi-hat as basic tempo beat. All this is running in parallel. Is it true??
MY WAYS OF STUDIES
Firstly, what is your goal of studies?? How important that knowledge to you?? Did you appreciate it?? SPM level, achieving the highest grade is the goal(17 A's?20?27 A's?). Why?? to make sure we are on track to university. How?? with this minimum simple goal, memorizing all theories without understand it clearly is the way at that time. It is not really work.
For example , physic subject, a trick needed to memorize the equation, then mnemonic with visual memory are used!! Did you know, lucky peoples are born with powerful brain memory which have a capability in memorising everything that he/she look. I am not. ;p
That why a people like me see SPM studies like artificial hell..
I don't see those method really suite to me..During matriculation level, there was additional objective of my studies..which is,I want to be a part of scientific community. Again,how..?? To be a part of community, I should fall in love with those knowledge,why I love physic?? because it explain everything around you,gravity,speed,force etc..the same principle applied for chemistry, I keep asking why and why?? that bring me to enthusiasm in reading and understanding beyond syllabus..You should not feeling wrong when you read more than you need..Some of us read only for examination..not you. That why, when a question is change and a little bit tricky, we lost!! Basic chapter for every subject should be understand clearly before you go deeper. Covering the ideas layer by layer give you an easy overview, if any chapter is not really clear, we SHOULD not simply SKIP it, use an alternative such as get another source of knowledge.
Example, in order to studies electromagnetic wave, a strong basic of vector calculation needed, basic revision needed in vector subject before we are going into electromagnetic wave..
Believe me, it seem you are quite slow at the beginning on your studies compare to the others, but you are very excellent at the last minutes performance!!! But make sure, those basic was covered earlier. This method have been applied until now in my university live with an extra practical approach.. practical approach is to test your theories.. You will get extra experience that you can write in your examination answer paper!!!!!!! Your advance answer will help your marks!!! and the most important is, you are not a dull reader in your studies. Your studies will not give any benefit if you don't know how to appreciate knowledge..Never said we are wasting our money in doing practical approach because we already spend more money in THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE(metallica ;p)..Your PTPTN loan and scholarship are for your studies.. used it carefully.
Throw away negative thinking about "you will not use what you learn now", this is just a scrap talk from people who only cares about money and not academician.. the one who talk like that is the one who wasting his time in IT study. Change your mind set. We all have a beautifulmind. Appreciate your knowledge(too many time I repeat this so you can see how important it is). You are not wasting your money in doing investment for you studies. Study smart,not too hard. All the best.
