Hello everyone,
I am Redwan Ahmed, and I completed my MIS207 (E-Business) course in Spring 2021, under the guidance of Mr. Adeyl Khan.
Just like the semester before, the Summer 2021 semester is also probably going to be entirely online. We are already quite used to online classes and aware of the most common problems we may face. So, I took steps to solve those common problems before they ruined my classes.
I always made sure that my laptop and phone are fully charged before class started, so I can continue my classes in case of no electricity. I also made sure to keep backup data on my phone, especially during exams. I also checked my backup device from time to time to make sure everything is working correctly.
Since we usually had 24 hours or more to complete assignments, it was tempting to put study aside until the last moment. But from my experience, I can say that is a very bad idea. I focused mostly on the recorded Lecture Videos. It had less distraction than class recordings, and sir had enough time to explain the topics thoroughly and with many important details.
During regular times, I watched the Lecture videos and studied the slides while making notes. And during the exam/assignment times, I used the notes to find the answers quickly.
As Information System is a topic that always interested me, I studied it to learn rather than to simply get a good score. I went through the textbook and online sources when I faced topics that I didn’t fully understand. I think that played an important role in me getting an A in this course.
Interactions with other classmates helped me immensely in handling the load of different courses. Don’t be shy to ask questions or share your opinions in the Facebook group or the chat. Knowing there are other people who I can rely on to a certain extent and they are going through the same problems as I gave me a lot of mental support and allowed me to relax a bit.
To get a good grade in this course, you will have to make a habit of actively listening. Listen to the lecture videos and the class lectures. They will give you feedback when completing your assignments/exam papers, etc.
Take part in all the optional works that give bonus marks and take them seriously as standard works. And if you face any problems that are beyond your control, communicate with the faculty. The faculty is rather accommodating of any request as long as it’s reasonable.
If you think that I can help you with something, you can reach me out on Facebook, facebook.com/r.ahmed009, or my North South email, redwan.ahmed3@northsouth.edu. I will try my best to provide any help I can within limited my ability.
Best wishes.
