mis207 @ 2018 Summer

Hello everyone,

I am not going to lie that doing well in the Ebusiness (MIS 205) is a piece of cake. I had to put a lot of effort as it requires a lot of activities some of which I was not familiar with. I had to learn many new things and I had to learn a different way of study.

I am going to make this note very objective and short for you to get a clear idea about the method I followed:

• Attend all the classes. It is very important to attend all the classes because there are many novel ideas in this course.
• Try to have a clear understanding about the class discussesion.
• IOAs’ are very important. You will find similar type of questions in the mid-terms and final exams. If you attend the IOAs’ sincerely and study the questions of IOAs’ properly then you will do well in the MCQ parts in the mid and final exams.
• For the short questions and broad questions in the midterms and the final review the questions of previous semesters. The questions are similar. For the broad question, understand the group assignment.
• It is very important to attend all the lab classes and also the lab exam. You may take help from the youtube tutorials. For the lab exam, follow and practice the in-class practice lab.
• For group assignment reports and presentations- search and collect relevant information. Do not make a direct copy-paste from any source. Even if the presentations are optional, attend every presentation. That will give you an edge while grading.

Last but not the least, you will get a lot to learn in this course. I found it rather interesting and I think it will help a lot in my professional career. Do this course just not to get a good grade but to learn sophistication. Because E-Business is the ultimate future. Hope you all will have a great semester.

Hello Everyone,

To begin with, MIS205 (Ebusiness) is both a practical and a theoretical course. If you have interest and/or knowledge about the online business sector this course will definitely entertain you. However if you have limited interest and/or is afraid of IS related courses, do not be scared. The course helps you understand numerous functions of e-business related topics in a practical manner. To ace this course you need is hard work and determination. Take it as a challenge and I am sure you will obtain a good grade.

This course is challenging and will require you to study. However, with good strategy and focus it is easy to get a good grade. I hope these tips will help you:

• Attend all the classes, you will get bonus for a perfect attendance.
• Try to be present before the class starts and be attentive,try to answer verbal questions by the faculty professionally and within the context of the topic.
• Do not miss any IOA (even the optional ones). The IOA contains 5% of total grade; moreover 50% of mids and final will come from IOA (online quiz). To prepare yourself for exams memorize and revise IOAs regularly. Try memorizing all the true/false as well as MCQs- it is an easy way to secure good marks. The IOAs are also a good way for understanding the slides. 
• For exams, go through the mid and final exam sample question papers of previous years provided in the website. Try to solve them and give importance to the short questions as well as broad questions as similar ones will come in your exams. Try printing the sample papers, Sir might give you bonus for that as well.
• Try bringing your laptop during lab classes and do the lab on it. Make sure Sir has verified your lab work during lab classes and noted your NSU ID to obtain bonus.
• The GAs and the term project are great way to learn in this course practically. Make sure you have a good team and follow the project outline. Before submitting a GA, consult with faculty with your project. He is helpful and will pin point where you have made mistakes and what changes have to be made. Do not be afraid, as the faculty is always available in office hours; make sure to use that to solve all your queries.
• The lab, OrangeHrm and Microsoft access work is easy and for everyone’s convenience video tutorials can be found on YouTube and face book group. 
• Try not to wait till the night before exam to start studying; you will need minimum 2 days preparation time to obtain a good grade.

Lastly, the faculty is very professional and expects nothing but professionalism from you. I found him helpful, friendly and a good mentor. You will get a practical experience from this course; learn a lot from the lab class and assignments.

Best of luck everyone. Always remember anything can happen with hard work and dedication.

Hello everyone,

I hope you all are doing great. I am Lamia Jahan. I did the MIS205 (E-Business) course with Mr. Adeyl Khan in the Summer 2018 semester. I was aware of his style of teaching from the MIS105 (Computer Information System) course I did with him earlier. I had a wonderful journey- learnt many things and enjoyed the course.

Some of the critical Facebook review might get you rather confused and even scared. I believe otherwise- you will have a great experience as you continue this course. Do not care about the reviews too much- most of the reviewers did not continue the course. I did and let me share my experience with you.

Attend every class and be on time- It is very important and helpful to understand the chapters. Try to take notes- print the slides and write down the notes on them. It’s very helpful.

IOAs- For IOA you have to read your text book. Don’t miss any IOA as the MCQ and true false in the midterms comes directly from IOA.

Mid & Final: For mid and final solve the questions of previous semesters for short questions. For true false and mcq go through the IOA. For broad question you need to understand the labs and group assignments properly. Don’t write anything irrelevant.

Group assignment: Try to understand the project properly and do the mind map. If you have any problem, the faculty will help you. It is better if you can finish the project early and take the review from sir before submission.

Lab: Try to understand the lab properly and practice them. If you don’t understand or have a problem- talk the the faculty. Do the labs in your laptop during the lab sessions- you will get bonus points.

Lab final: There will be a review of the lab before the lab exam. Practice at home and you should be fine.

Lastly try to be professional. Attend classes timely. don’t be late. Submit all assignments on time. Take advantage of the bonus opportunities- they will boost your grade at the end. Do not cheat in group assignments, lab or in exam. Sir hates plagiarism. If you do you will get a zero.

I hope you all will have a great semester with Ayn sir and if you need any help from me you can contact me at https://www.facebook.com/lamia.jahan.10

Hello everyone,

Hope you guys are doing great. I am Fahim Abid. I did my MIS205 (Ebusiness) course with our honorable Mr. Adeyl Khan. This course will help understand the management behind E-business processes some of which you already use in your everyday life. Some of the topics are in-depth. Try to relate it with your life experiences than be afraid of the course.

I will let you know about some of ‘life-hacks’ I followed for this course, which will make your lives easier:

Policies and bonuses:

Get yourself familiarized with the policies written in this website and the bonus opportunities. There are plenty of opportunities that will come in handy in the long run.

• IOAs: They may seem really innocent and ignorable, but IOAs are one of the most important part of the course. Try not to miss any of them. Even if you fail to go through the books and slides, if you can memorize and understand the IOA questions, it can save your grade from devastation.
• MIDs: Give full attention to class lectures and solve previous semesters’ mid questions. Give emphasis to charts, tables, and repetitive questions. Try to have a clear concept about the topics and you are good to go.
• Labs & assignment: Try to understand what is being done in the lab classes and the reason behind doing this lab. Believe me, this will make things 50% easier. Take help from your classmates or your teacher if you are unable to understand any part of the lab. Group assignments are not only important for assignment marks; but also crucial for the broad questions in Mids. Doing it seriously will automatically prepare you for the Mids.

A note about mental stability: At one point, this course may seem impossible to comply with- everything seems difficult. Stay calm and keep doing what you are supposed to do. You can never expect good grades without hardship. This is what it takes to be a future leader. Don’t think of this course as ‘pera’, instead take it as a challenge.

I hope these suggestions will help you finish this course with ease and bring a good grade. If you have further questions, please feel free to leave a message at https://www.facebook.com/fahim.abid.716.
