How do new DNU students study to get high scores?

Entering university means you are embarking on a new journey, completely different from high school when most of the time is spent on self-study and research. The testing and evaluation methods at university are also different. Therefore, new students of K17 should proactively learn to better understand the methods and research at university to have a specific learning path and achieve high scores.

Clearly define learning goals

The way of learning in a university environment is very different from the way we learned during 12 years of high school. In university, teachers no longer follow students closely, nor does the learning method of “teacher reads, student copies” exist anymore. Instead, students are the ones who master the knowledge they receive through self-study and research skills.

This change in learning methods causes many students entering their first year to be “shocked”, having difficulty adapting, being easily distracted, and having difficulty developing themselves. To overcome this situation and achieve good learning results, you need to clearly define your learning goals.

Determining learning goals is the motivation and good control of the striving path of “K17 newbies”. Right from the first semester of the first year, students should outline for themselves the knowledge goals as well as the scores they want to achieve, and at the same time make a specific study plan to complete the set goals. Accordingly, you need to clearly define short-term goals (scores to achieve, knowledge to achieve...) and long-term goals (applying knowledge into practice, improving professional knowledge...), thereby achieving good results and cultivating the necessary knowledge and skills in life.

Continuously improve foreign language proficiency

In today's era of globalization, being good at a foreign language is an essential requirement that determines the quality of work as well as the quality of life. For students, being good at a foreign language - the most common of which is English - not only helps them get high scores in the eyes of employers when they graduate, but even in the classroom, being good at a foreign language is also the key to help them open the door to new knowledge, easily access information sources and research materials, thereby achieving the best learning results.

Chairman of the School Council, Dr. Le Dac Son affirmed: “Knowing another foreign language is living another life. Foreign languages are not only a supplementary tool but also a “weapon” for international integration, expanding career opportunities for students…” .

Therefore, Dai Nam University always focuses on foreign language training for students, especially English; aiming at the goal of training students to integrate internationally. The school constantly innovates its programs based on the contributions of leading experts in the field of languages from many prestigious universities across the country.

Students can meet, share and learn from famous speakers at professional seminars. At the same time, IMAP Vietnam supports training, improving teaching methods and skills for lecturers, thereby the teaching staff continuously upgrades lectures to bring students the best learning experience.

Always be proactive in every situation

If you want to achieve good results, you need to work hard to build your presentation. When working in groups, do not rely on other friends, take the initiative to give your presentation ideas. As long as you are not afraid of making mistakes and actively exchange ideas, you will improve visibly after a short time! Not only that, you will gain the trust and appreciation of your teachers, from which you can get good results.

In addition, make sure you always attend all classes, both to ensure maximum attendance and to learn the most basic knowledge from teachers, saving time for self-study. In particular, come early to choose a seat at the front of the lecture hall, this will help you increase your ability to concentrate on the lesson, minimizing those distractions.

Don't be afraid to study and take exams to improve your score.

If you have a bad score in a subject, it will definitely affect your GPA. Therefore, do not hesitate to study to improve your score. Although it takes a bit of time, in return, not only will your score improve significantly, but you will also have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge.

In addition, Dai Nam University has a “specialty” that few universities have, which is the opportunity for students to retake the exam if their scores do not meet the requirements to pass the subject. The fact that the school organizes retakes for students who unfortunately have low scores has a great humanitarian meaning with the spirit of “doing the best for the learner with all your heart and soul” , helping students save a lot of study time, not spending another semester just to complete one subject.

Participate in scientific research

Participating in student scientific research activities brings you many benefits.

First of all, when participating in scientific research, students will have the opportunity to access many documents available at Dai Nam University as well as other sources. This is an opportunity for you to receive new knowledge and delve into the knowledge learned in the classroom. In addition, students with achievements in scientific research are given priority for scholarships and bonus points.

DNU students' scientific research topics are closely related to reality and have high applicability.

In particular, students participating in scientific research will receive a decision of commendation and a certificate of research achievement signed by the President of Dai Nam University.

A healthy body, a clear mind

Remember this: a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. Getting enough sleep, eating well, and making time for regular exercise every day will help your metabolism run smoothly, providing nutrients and oxygen to your brain to stay alert and sharp.

The physical education program at Dai Nam University is different with high applicability, meeting the general needs of society.

In particular, the special physical education program of Dai Nam University allows students to choose subjects that rarely appear in the school physical education program such as Yoga, Dance, Self-defense Martial Arts... which not only bring excitement to students, but also help them have a healthy body and a clear mind. The elective subjects in the Physical Education training program are all carefully considered and selected by the Board of Directors, according to 04 criteria: Ensuring comprehensive physical, mental and intellectual development for learners; suitable for the development trend of society; "hitting" and "correct" the wishes and needs of students; can be applied to life and easily practiced at home.

DNU always stands side by side with students

Dr. Le Dac Son - Chairman of the Board of Dai Nam University affirmed: "Anything that is harmful to students, no matter how small, will be resolutely not done. Whatever is best for students, we will do it with all our heart and soul" . With that spirit, the teaching staff of Dai Nam University is always active in updating and renewing teaching methods, thereby bringing students the most effective learning experience, helping them "study to change", becoming useful citizens for society.

Not only students, but also lecturers of Dai Nam University regularly organize and participate in courses and workshops to update new knowledge, innovate thinking in building teaching methods, apply active teaching methods, enhance two-way interaction between lecturers and students, apply information technology in teaching, collect students' opinions on training quality... thereby, bringing a positive, healthy and exciting learning environment for students.
