CHARACTERISTICS OF SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS
1. Intellectually curious
In order to be a successful student, it is basically important for you to engage with your subject.
It is all depend on you to caring about your studies and your willingness to find something worthwhile studying in order to keep you on track during your studies. One of a good way to be a successful students is by observing others who are good at what they do, and then asking questions about anything and everything you don't understand. Asking questions to experts is a good way to learn. You can also find all the information through various types of information materials includes books, journals, and Internet.
2. Self-driven
University life is totally different from high school. In university, you are expected to manage your own workload, attendance, and assignment. If you start to miss classes or assignments, you will quickly find your grades slipping, or worse, you may even fail. It is essential for you to motivate yourself to prevent this from happening. Good students will push themselves to do the best they can in their assignments. To achieve good results, students must give their full commitment because commitment is a vital aspect of being self-driven
3. Good time management

4. Admitting you don't understand
It's fine to say that you don't know something, or that you don't understand certain topics during classes. By admitting it, the lecturers or other students around you can help by explaining the topic more clearly. If you aren't able to admit you don't know something, you won't be able to complete a good quality assignment.
5. Creative and original
A successful student always come up with new ideas or new ways of thinking to solve a problem. This successful student will give their own opinion on a topic or argument, even if it's different from what others have said. If you want to be a successful student, you must surround yourself with people who have a skill you want that can push you to improve.
Visual – Visual learners prefer to see or observe things, such as pictures, photographs, diagrams, demonstrations, displays, handouts, films, flip-chart, etc.

TOPIC 2
GOAL SETTING
-Everyone has goal. Whether it is something major like have PHD by the age of 30 or losing 5 pounds within 2 weeks. Simple meaning of goal is something you would like to achieve. It gives you direction and keep motivates yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality. The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life. By knowing exactly what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts.
Why Set Goals?
Top-level athletes, successful business people and achievers in all fields all set goals. Setting goals gives you long-term vision and short-term motivation. It focuses your acquisition of knowledge, and helps you to organize your time and your resources so that you can make the most of your life.
By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals, and you'll see forward progress in what might previously have seemed a long pointless grind. You will also raise your self-confidence, as you recognize your own ability and competence in achieving the goals that you've set.

You will also raise your self-confidence, as you recognize your own ability and competence in achieving the goals that you've set.
Most importantly, the goals you set must have some important characteristics:
-Goals should be self-chosen
-Goals should be moderately challenging
-Goals should be realistic
-Goals should be measurable
-Goals should be specific
-Goals should be finite
-Goals should be positive
MY GOAL STATEMENT

YOUR REWARD
-I Want to go vacations with my friends and my family members
MILESTONES
-Need to reduce playing smart phone to achieve flying colours results
MOTIVATIONAL QOUTE
-' EDUCATION IS PASSPORT TO FUTURE '
1.Goal Should Be Self Chosen
YOUR REWARD
-I Want to go vacations with my friends and my family members
MILESTONES
-Need to reduce playing smart phone to achieve flying colours results
MOTIVATIONAL QOUTE
-' EDUCATION IS PASSPORT TO FUTURE '
1.Goal Should Be Self Chosen
- If you want to be a successfull people, you must set your goal. You must decide what you want to achieve in life.If you set your own goals,you will feel be more motivated to achieve them.Always think that you are the one that wants to achieve your own goals.
2.Goals Should Be Moderately Challenging.
- You must consider what you have done in past to set goals and make it moderately challenging.Goals always can be revised.You actually can achieve more than you originally set out to accomplish.
3.Goals Should Be Realistic
- The goal that you set must be realistic. You also must think first about your goals whether it is attainable or not.But, if you want to work hard on certain subject,it is not impossible to get excellent result in exam.To set realistic goals, you must carefully evaluate your chances to achieve your goal later.
4.Goals Should Be Measurable.
- Goal should be measureable based on your effort. Without a good effort, you cannot determine whether you can achieve that goal or not.A goal must be measurable.Only you can determine whether you can reach it or not.It would be much easier to measure your success if you had aimed for such as grade A or B in each subject. Work hard and study smart to make sure you can achieve your goal.
5.Goals Should Be Specific
- If your goals more specific ,it will be easier to achieve them and you will be more motivated.Such as you want to get A in Calculus .That was a specific goals.But if you said you just want to get good grade in Calculus that is not specific goals.So,make sure your goals more specific.
6.Goals Should Be Finite/Limits/Bounds
- Goals must have a time frame or due date.For example if you have assignment due to Saturday,you need to done it by Saturday too. If you finish your work on time then it will be easier for to prepare next assignment ot task.In your goals, it is important to set a deadlines.
7.Goals Should Be Positive
- Negative goals statements can make you can’t really be successful because they aren’t motivating. You must motivate yourself and most important you must trained yourself to be positive. If you have positive mind and attitude, the goal would be easier to achieve.

TOPIC 7: ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & PERFORMANCE
CALCULATING GRADE POINT AVERAGE
The final examination results and assessments at the end of every semester are assigned a Grade Point Average (GPA) and a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) which represent a student’s academic achievement.
A Grade Point Average (GPA) refers to the calculated average of the letter grades a student earns in each semester following a 0 to 4.0 scale.
GPA Calculation
Every semester, students receive a GPA based on the grades they earned in all their courses during that semester. The formula used for the calculations of the Grade Point Average (GPA) is as follows:
GPA = The total credit values registered and attempted in the assessment of a semester
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total credit units acquired in the same semester
To find GPA weighted by credit hours, follow these steps:
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) refers to the overall GPA, which includes dividing the number of quality points earned in all courses attempted by the total credit hours in all attempted courses.
CGPA = The total credit values registered and attempted in the assessment of all semesters
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total credit units acquired in all semesters
