Hello Everyone!
I am Nigar Shahjahan and I have completed my Computer Information System (MIS 105 ) with Mr. Adeyl Khan in the Fall of 2018. First of all, I would like to talk a bit about the faculty. Some students drop the course because of the negative rumors, which is debatable. MIS 105 is one of the challenging courses and requires a student’s own effort besides the faculty’s assistance. I have loved and enjoyed the classes, and have learned a lot from the practical lab classes and group assignments. I have read the previous students’ success stories in the Hall Of Fame on Day 1 and learned that it is not impossible to achieve high grades as long as one gives his/her best effort. My target was to be in the Hall Of fame List since day 1 and I gave my best to achieve my desired target. There are certain tactics I followed to stay focused and achieve high grades, which you can follow as well:
- FAQ - Read the FAQ at least 2 or 3 times in the 1st week of the class, to get acquainted with the faculty’s requirements and rules. This will help you to understand how things will proceed throughout the course and you can get answer to most of your questions regarding the course.
- Course Website - Take time and go through the website, as there are different study materials and information provided that you can utilize.
- IOA - Solve the IOA and the review them before any quiz or exam.
- Slides - Read the Chapters carefully several times to get a clear understanding and read the chapter related Slides. (It is a “MUST”)
- Notes - Make short notes for quick review during exams for you own help.
- Questions - Practice the previous questionnaire, solve them and ask the faculty to check it. Thus, you can easily obtain marks if there are common questions and for the broad questions, you can take help from the internet to enrich and enhance the credibility of your answers.
- Lab - Practice the Lab at home before every lab class. Carefully read the study materials provided and if needed, you can go through related You Tube videos. Practicing earlier will help you catch up with Sir’s instructions during the class.
- Group Assignments - Give effort in Group Assignments. Choose your partners carefully. There is a lot to learn from the Assignments that you can benefit in the long run and will be helpful for further courses.
- Bonuses - Sir provides a lot of opportunities for bonus grades. Make sure to get as many bonus grades as possible.
- Lab/Exam Paper Checking - Check every lab assignment and exam paper after each exam. This will help to point out your own mistakes and prepare better for the next exam.
- Optional Assignments – Do all the optional works (IOA, Lab, Group Assignments) in order to get high grades and even an A.
- Assignment Submission – always submit assignments on time and as preferred by the faculty, in Google Classroom. In case of any technical problem, e-mail the faculty explaining your situation and also physically inform him.
Furthermore, ask the faculty for suggestion and help in case you feel lost or you face difficulty with anything regarding your course. You can meet him during his office hours or e-mail him. The faculty helps his students whenever they need assistance. Remember that it is not only a one sided effort. Every course will seem difficult if there is no effort from the student’s side. Above all, enjoy what you are doing. The classes are pretty funny and easy going, which makes the classes enjoyable. Do not set it in mind that the classes are “Pera”. This negativity can drag you down towards failure.
Lastly, I would highly recommend to stay calm and stay positive till the very end of the course even if it seems difficult. Encourage yourself, do not listen to the negative students and “Never Give Up”. If I can then you can too.
