Introduction In my opinion to be successful at University is our involvement. If we have a plan to achieve goals and we are keep working on them, after a time we will receive a positive result. First, I would start of time management plan how to keep balance between student live and private live. It’s important to know how to plan your time. Another step would be learning how to take notes, which techniques will be best for us and more useful, how not to write down too much information and when we should take note. Third skill is presentation skills, students should practice that skill as this is a good way of presents innovative ideas. Skills Analysis According to skill time management as I mention above, is important how you spread your time between student and private live. A lot of people forget about this and could bring problems into our life, starting from relations between family to physical and mental health. To keep a good time management, we can use the priority matrix technique which you should divide into daily task in two parts, urgent and not urgent. Choose most priority goals which will go to section “urgent”. As a student it should be homework done before deadline, attending lectures and seminars, preparing to assignment. Into section “not urgent” should go plans like watching films, check Facebook, meet with friends, of course this section is important as well, but is all about balance. Now my time management skill is still in progress, but much better than it was before start University. I want to develop that skills to perfection so I will be practice by plan ahead, avoid multitask, distraction like phone, Facebook, focused first on urgent section which is homework and preparing to assignment. Next skill is taking notes, which is not that simply like sounds. Personally, I think I’m writing down too much information or not taking them at all when I should. Every student should take notes, it is changing relationship between student and information, helps understand and remember useful information. When student should take notes? While lectures, seminaries and tutorials, even in bed, before sleep we are thinking a lot and lots ideas coming into ours brains, which we can write down, so we not lost thoughts. There is 3 different method of taking notes: Linear system which is making list, bulled points, highlighting, numbers and underlining to identify important points. Pattern, by drawing and cartoons, it helps student select and connect information. The cornell method is when you are dividing into 3 columns the note taking column, the cue column and the summary. Its saving time and is simple and effective. Then third for me very important skill is presentation skill. Presentation skills in not just a skill, it is feature helping us to communicate with people, the way of talk, the way of gesticulating our hands and body, tone of voice, contact eye. All those skills we are using every day, specially eye contact which is 3
almost50percentof the time whilespeakingand 70% of the time while listening. This helps to display interest and confidence between people. In student live presentation skill is needed, student have great and innovative ideas which, thanks to the presentation, are better able to present and tell about them. Presentation skill is also a self-confidence, which motivate us with failure instead of giving up with stumbling, no one is perfect, we all are making mistakes, so our confidence is important to pushing us to trying till we receive positive results. Personally, my presentation skill is still poor, probably because of my language barrier. I’m scare of my accent if everyone will be able to understand what I’m saying or pronounce difficult words, but this skill will be my goal to achieve. I will be practice by talking to the mirror, keep my tone of voice, talk clear and by talking to family or friends. Conclusion In my conclusion I want to mention how all those skills above are important in student live. Before University I didn’t have to plan anything, now I must manage my time, remember about important things like homework, deadline of assessment and learn how to keep balance between student and private live. Also, I realized how helpful is note-taking, when I should note-taking and which of 3 method is more useful for me. Then how to achieve presentation skill we can practice by building self-confidence and how our mood can impact on presentation. Practice is our key to successful study at University.
