TOPIC 5: Memory Learning & Improving Concentration

Memory Learning & Improving Concentration 

This topic conducted by my very own advisor, Madam Shamsinar Rahman at C4BK on 16 June 2017. This is the day where I physically got to see her in person after our previous class was cancelled as she had to attend a seminar at Shah Alam. It was a bad start because she was upset with us (for awhile only) for not entering the class using the back door (front door was locked). On behalf of my classmates, I would like to say sorry again for being an ignorant about it. ๐Ÿ˜–๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ž

Okay so in the class we learnt about memory learning and how to improve our concentration especially when the lecturer is teaching infront. They are two types of students as we can see from the pyramid chart down there. 


  1. The passive 
  2. The participatory

Miss Shamsinar made a comparison between human and computer. They are likely alike and have same function but different names. 

For instance, the CPU is like our brain. While the hard disk is like our memory

She also included some differences of Sensory Memory, Short Term Memory and Long Term Memory.

There are few strategies on how to memorize and concentrate effectively 

  • Mnemonic
  • Planner
  • Break reading material
  • Create a mind map
  • SQ3R method

In between the learning, we took some quiz and played memorize games. God knows how terrible I was as I could only memorize 4 things...ahh I wish miss could give us some more time! I surely will become better at memorizing haha. One thing that I will always remember and take it as a motivation is when miss told us "GIVE YOURSELF A CHANCE AND HELP YOURSELF". Simply because nobody gonna help us if not with our willingness to improve ourselves. 

I hope we could meet again in class. That all for now bloggers! Keep yourself updated with my post.๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’•
