Hello Everyone!
To begin with, MIS205 is the most fundamental course covering many topic of E-business. If you have interest on the online business sector this course will be the stepping stone to enlighten you with numerous functions and how things work (practically). Furthermore, you will understand and appreciate the various ways national and global business organizations market themselves, operate internally, and connect with their suppliers and customers. The course highlights business applications using the OrangeHRM software and databse using Microsoft Access.
It is needless to say that some of you are dismayed by the fact that you got Adeyl Khan sir as your course instructor:) The Facebook review groups made me feel the same as well but trust me the actual scenario is certainly very different. Yes, a wide range of topics and assignments are covered in a short span of time yet achieving an A is not difficult at all. Here are the things you should do to ensure an A :
- Online Quizzes (IOA): For starters, make sure you buy both the books enlisted on the course outline, all the questions that you will face on IOA’s come directly from the books, you just have to look for the answers at the right places. Moreover, if you can manage to get PDF versions of the books, it will give you an upper-hand for sure. Some IOA’s consist of a large number of questions, just be patient and you’ll be able to finish them within a few hours.
- Lab Work: There will be three lab classes, and make sure you bring your own laptop- you 1% bonus for each lab class. If you need any help regarding the lab assignments and screen-casting, YouTube is the best source. You’ll find previous semesters’ videos, they will come of great use. However, under any circumstances do not submit the videos you’ll find, you’ll directly get a zero.
- Assignments/Presentations: First of all, make sure you have good group members, you are allowed to request for two of your members through the website, make sure to utilize the opportunity. For group assignments, follow each and every objective (from the table of content) and use the best sources you can find on the internet to fulfill the objectives. If possible show your drafts to sir before you finally present and submit your works. Give your presentations in class and try to avoid going to sir’s room for presentations, trust me, it will save you a lot of burden and time. Lastly, submit all the assignments on time be it individual or group.
- Mid-Terms/ Final: Make proper use of your group. Assign each member to solve different past-papers provided on the website. Share answers among each other and study hard. Not to mention, the slides are important as well, especially the different diagrams and tables. As for the MCQ/TF, study each and every IOA properly, the same questions come on exams. A simple strategy I always follow for any course is that I start studying two days before the exam , in my opinion two days is the optimum duration to be fully prepared for an exam and allows you to focus on other courses as well.
To conclude, Adeyl Khan sir is a strict faculty but a friendly and helpful one. Visit him at his office with any query or problem, I am sure none of your questions will be left unanswered.
Good luck! I hope you all have a splendid semester with him.
