Getting an A or A- in the course MGT 314 (Production Management) is not so
tough, according to my opinion you can consider the following techniques
applying which I achieved A in this crucial course.
Studying Pattern
In every examination (Mid Term 1 & 2 & Final) four to five chapters will be
in syllabus. Hence you will have to study regularly to keep pace with the class,
you really should not put forth your lessons to study in the 12th hour. In every
week you can spend three to four hours to study the topics. You don’t need to
memorize anything, rather you need to get the concept from the textbook and
practice the mathematical problems.
Exam Preparation
The two that play vital role in exam preparation are: IOA (Individual Online
Assignments) and Cheat Sheet. Apart from developing concepts through reading the
book/slides and attending class lectures, you need to study the IOAs for
True/False and MCQ section. Almost 95% MCQ and True False come straightforward
from the IOAs, for the rest 5% you can expect some twists! In the Cheat Sheet
you can note down all the formula needed to solve the mathematical problems, the
figures/diagrams, points that seem important to you.
Assignment Preparation
In preparing the group assignment you need to have clear idea what has been
asked in the assignment guideline. Cover all the topics demanded in the outline
& also follow the appropriate assignment format. For the IOAs you need to have
clear concept on the chapter topics and the mathematical problems. I want to add
that the mathematical problems that appear in the IOAs also come in theory
section of the exams.
Term Project Preparation
Like the group assignment you need to have clear concept about the term
project to cut smart figures in Term Paper. Be an expert in using Microsoft
Visio Software. Visit sir’s office even if you have the slightest confusion. In
presentation be detail oriented but not by elongating it unnecessarily. Include
all the relevant graphs, figures and facts. Also be cautious about time, since
you will get exactly fifteen minutes to present your term paper. You as a group
can consider rehearsing once or twice before the final presentation.
The Mantras of Staying Focused
To me staying focused with the lessons is easy, in fact I like to see it that
way. Prepare weekly schedule and be determined to stick with you prepared
schedule. Try to form a study group. If you are a music lover like me, you can
listen good music while practicing the mathematical problems. To enliven your
heart and soul watch some good movies, only if you are with schedule. We will
know we are obliged to perform a bunch of tasks in just 24 hours, what matters
most how you prioritize your tasks and what plan do you have to accomplish them!
