Hello guys!
I am Faysal Ahmed and I have done the MIS205 (E-Business) course with our respected faculty member Mr. Adeyl Khan as my course instructor. As the name suggests this course is about E-business; how businesses are adopting E (going digital) and their problems and solutions. You will learn about other things that are of immense value in this digital era of business.
The faculty has tried his best to reduce the workload by offering lots of bonuses and keeping a lot of things as optional. Your focus should be to do well in exams and also to earn all the bonuses. I’ll be honest with you, I found the course load overwhelming at first but I kept focus and followed guidelines (see below) and surely aced in the exams. Here are some tips that you can consider to help you reach your goal:
- FAQ: First of all read the FAQ section in the course website to get acquainted with all the rules and also to answer most of your questions.
- Course Website: Bookmark the course website as you will need to visit this site frequently for all sort of resources and updates.
- Classes: Classes are very interactive as the faculty frequently asks questions to the students. Try your best to maintain full attendance for a 3% bonus at the end of the course.
- IOAs: A lot of IOAs are optional. But I’ll strongly recommend that you attempt all of them as MCQS in mids/final comes directly from the IOAs including the optional ones. So attempt all the IOAs.
- Mids and final: To be honest I didn’t read the book for once throughout the course because all the lecture slides are self-sufficient for exams. I used to solve the previous question papers to have an idea about what was important. You can find them on the course website under the “sample question” section. Oh, there’s a bonus for solving one sample question and showing it in the class before a midterm/final. Rewards like these make you feel life is not that hard.
- Lab: 2 lab classes and one exam. Be as attentive as you can on lab classes. Bring a laptop to get an easy bonus.
- GA and presentations: Again, you’ll have bonus presentations but I suggest that you take every opportunity to reach your goal. Presentations are held at the faculty's office room.
I hope I could give you an idea that getting your desired grade in this course is not that hard. It's up to you if want to work for it. For further assistance, you can always knock me up in facebook: https://www.facebook.com/faysalandhisguitar
