TOPIC 2:GOAL SETTINGS & LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
As UiTM students,UFUTURE are not strange things anymore.We used it everyday as our platform for various affair.As example,register for subjects,fill the attandence,get learning material there from lecturer.

SUMMARY:💚
We need to have goals in our life.Sometimes we can't determine what is our target that we want to achieve.So,starting from now if we don't have any idea about this life we need to look back and do some reflection what we needs.Apart of that,our goal will created by it self.
