Greetings everyone,
I hope you are in good health. I am Md. Azmol Hasib Bhuiyan and I have done the course, E Business (MIS207) with Mr. Adeyl Khan in the Summer 2020 semester. I wish you a very good semester and I hope you’ll also end up getting a very good grade and be featured in the Hall of Fame.
This semester, Fall 2020, will be totally online-based. Do not panic, you’ll get more learning & researching opportunities. You need to be focused and organized with your activities though. Do try to pay attention in the classes even though you can do anything during an online class. Be responsive, ask questions and keep a 100% attendance in a class. If you face any difficulties do not hesitate to email the faculty or meet him during an office hour. The faculty is very friendly and the classes interactive and can be fun if you pay attention. I found the faculty very cooperative in answering questions. So, do not hesitate to ask him for advice if you get stuck anywhere in the course.
Google Classroom, Meet & Attendance: Faculty post every notice & assignment here. You’ll find all the important resources here too. You have to submit your task via google classroom. So, keep your notifications on. Do not miss classes, be on time & attentive to the class. I can’t stress this point enough. A lot of information is given in every class, so if you miss a class there will be a big gap in your understanding. Also, there is a hefty bonus for having full attendance, so be sure not to miss out on free marks. Keep notes of the various diagrams the faculty shows. Faculty will provide you a mind mapping software, always collect the mind map as they will help you get a summary of the topic at a glance. Do not hesitate to answer the sudden questions he will ask, even if you’re wrong. It’ll only help you further your knowledge.
Course Website: This will be your bread and butter for this course. Learn the ins and outs of the course website at your earliest convenience. This is where you will get all the updates about the course. All the slides, IOAs, assignment, lab and bonus details will be delivered to you through the website. So, do keep a regular eye on the course website throughout the semester.
IOAs: Solve the IOAs as soon as they are posted on the website. It will help you earn your Bonus.
Lab Work: Labs are generally very simple and easy to follow. And you’ll get complete advantage of online classes as our faculty share the recorded class on the course website. Just follow the instructions and you will be good to go. But if you are having difficulties, be sure to come forward with your problem.
Group Assignments: Be sure to choose your group mates carefully. Try to maintain a constant back and forth communication with them. Online GAs are fun if you use tools like google docs and google slides to work with your team. The faculty is very critical while checking group assignments so if you are missing a part it can be detrimental to your GA grade. To avoid any missing part, talk to the faculty during an office hour before the deadline, and ask for the support. The faculty will point out your lacking’s.
Sample Questions: Solve the sample questions from the previous semesters before midterms & finals. You will get a very good idea about the short and broad question patterns. And you’ll get most of the common.
Bonuses: I must say NEVER MISS A BONUS! There are a lot of opportunities to get bonuses throughout the semester. So, be sure to keep an eye out on the course website and in class notices about them. Bonuses generally involve easy and simple tasks. These will add up and make a considerable contribution to your final grade.
Finally, my advice would be approach the course with an open mind and have fun- simply enjoy the course. Of course, the world is in a different situation right now but we should keep moving on with the new norm. Think about the better side of this online semester, you don’t have to waste time on traffic jams. You got more time to build yourself- learning & growing! Don’t get stressed out about anything. Remember, what you get always depends on your dedication and willingness to put in the work.
