Unemployment Analysis vs Graduan bergaji Rendah

Posted on by

Mungkin inilah sebabnya graduan sanggup bergaji rendah zaman milenia ini. Ramai tiada pekerjaan.  Mungkin kerana itu, walaupun bergaji rendah – syukur mereka ada kerja.

High Impact Educational Program

Posted on by

In my opinion, HIEPS comes from High-Impact Practices (HIPs). They share several traits:

  • They demand considerable time and effort,
  • facilitate learning outside of the classroom,
  • require meaningful interactions with faculty and students,
  • encourage collaboration with diverse others, and
  • provide frequent and substantive feedback

HIEPS teaching and learning practices have been widely tested and have been shown to be beneficial for college students from many backgrounds. These practices take many different forms, depending on learner characteristics and on institutional priorities and contexts. High-impact practices that educational research suggests increase rates of student retention and student engagement. Basically, these includes:

First Year Seminar/Experience
Service/Community Based Learning
Diversity/Global Learning
Collaborative Assignment & Project
Capstone Project
Empirical Research
Internship
Interdisciplinary Approach to Assessment

Lets Learn English – Prepositions

Posted on by
3

Prepositions often tell you where something is or when something happened.Prepositions are usually used in front of nouns or pronouns and they show the relationship between the noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. The meanings of prepositions can be vary. From https://www.talkenglish.com/vocabulary/top-50-prepositions.aspx  The top 50 prepositions are as follow:

Word Frequency Type
with 1062 (preposition)
at 624 (preposition)
from 622 (preposition)
into 301 (preposition)
during 103 (preposition)
including 58 (preposition)
until 54 (preposition)
against 46 (preposition)
among 37 (preposition)
throughout 27 (preposition)
despite 17 (preposition)
towards 16 (preposition)
upon 15 (preposition)
concerning 3 (preposition)
of 5220 (preposition, auxiliary verb)
to 4951 (preposition, adverb)
in 2822 (preposition, adverb)
for 1752 (preposition, conjunction)
on 1087 (preposition, adverb, adjective)
by 706 (preposition, adverb)
about 451 (preposition, adverb, adjective)
like 324 (preposition, verb, conjunction)
through 235 (preposition, adverb, adjective)
over 170 (preposition, adjective, noun)
before 141 (preposition, adverb, conjunction)
between 137 (preposition, adverb)

behind 22 (preposition, adverb, adjective)
beyond 20 (preposition, noun)
plus 14 (preposition, adjective, noun)
except 6 (preposition, conjunction, idiom)
but 626 (conjunction, preposition, adverb)
up 296 (adverb, preposition, adjective)

around 101 (adverb, preposition)
down 94 (adverb, preposition, adjective)
off 74 (adverb, preposition, adjective)
above 40 (adverb, preposition, adjective)
near 13 (adverb, preposition, adjective)

 

By the way, for standard 3 – there are only five preposition introduction:

  • In front of
  • behind
  • in
  • under
  • beside

Credit to https://unilifeapps.curtin.edu.au/TheLearningCentre/Display?book=5&page=78 for explaining the common error of prepositions

1. Using the wrong preposition

2. Omitting the preposition

3. Using an extra preposition

Four more things to remember about prepositions

1. The verb ‘to be’ + preposition + adjective

This is a common construction in English.

 

2. Nouns that follow common prepositions

Common prepositions (at, in, on, out of, under, for, of) are often used in combination with nouns.

3. Verbs that have a predetermined preposition (or two)

Many of our approximately 4000 regular verbs and 200 irregular verbs can be used in combination with prepositions.

 

Other verbs are linked more closely to one or possibly two prepositions. Below is a short list of 10 verbs that have one (or 2) predetermined prepositions.

Do you know any more verbs like this?

4. Idiomatic verb forms

We do not always link verbs to just one specific preposition. In fact, some verbs, when used idiomatically, are linked to many different prepositions to give that verb a specific meaning. The example below is the verb to get, which means to obtain or receive. Idiomatically, the verb takes on a great many meanings.

Bijaksana

Bijaksana ialah kerana ilmu, ketetapan hati, meletakkan sesuatu pada tempatnya serta menilik sesuatu menurut harganya. Hikmah kebijaksanaan adalah anurgerah istimewa dari Allah – sesiapa yang mendapat, ia memperoleh anugerah yang sangat banyak.

Tidaklah bijaksana orang orang yang membenarkan perkara yang dusta, meluruskan barang yang bengkok atau orang yang memasuki perkara yang bukan keahliannya.

Kurang cerdas dapat diperbaiki dengan belajar, kurang cekap dapat dihilangkan dengan pengalaman tetapi jika kurang jujur – sulit memperbaikinya.

Tafsir Surah Al Hadid (Besi) bersama Ustazah Norhafizah Musa

Posted on by
1

Surah Al Hadid (besi) – surah ke 57 dalam al Quran dengan 27 ayat.  Ia adalah kesinambungan daripada surah yang sebelumnya iaitu surah al-waqiah

Intisari surah ialah tentang pembangunan spiritual.  Secara tersuratnya, surah ini menceritakan pembangunan dengan berasaskan besi tetapi secara tersirat, pembangunan spiritual adalah dengan mengingati Allah (bertasbih).

Kaedah mengingat Allah (bertasbih).

  1. Cari keserasian dan keseimbangan dengan alam
    Ayat pertama surah al hadid ialah tentang alam yang sentiasa bertasbih.

    سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ – 57:1
    “Whatever is in the heavens and earth exalts Allah, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise”Baca ayat alquran yang perkataan pertama bermula dengan tasbih (subhana) ada tujuh ayat yang bermula dengannya terutama ayat ke-3 surah al Hadid.

    Tips, baca ayat ini sebaik sahaja bangun tidur untuk tahajud kerana Allah telah menggerakkan kita untuk bangun malam

    هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ – 57:3
    He is the First and the Last, the Ascendant and the Intimate, and He is, of all things, Knowing.

    Tips, baca ayat ke-2 sekiranya rasa bongkak

    لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ – 57:2
    His is the dominion of the heavens and earth. He gives life and causes death, and He is over all things competent.
