Hello everyone,
This is Saeeda Tasnim Wahid and I have completed the course MIS205 under the guidance of our dearest faculty Mr. Adeyl Khan during spring’18. This course is certainly not very easy but at the same time it is not very difficult in achieving a decent grade if you are on the right track.
I would like to share a few of my experiences and give a few suggestions to the new students enrolled in Adeyl sir’s classes:
- Firstly I faced a little difficulty in keeping up with the IOAs. Given my busy schedule where I had to deal with other tough courses and several other extra-curricular activities, I always completed the IOAs at the last minute. However, I never missed them. It is very important to complete them, it does not really matter if you score very high as they are only 5% of your grades. The main advantage from completing these IOAs is that you will get to learn & get a gist of the chapter beforehand. Questions from the IOA are often given in the Midterms & finals as well. So finishing them and learning from them will certainly give u an advantage.
- Second, I never missed a class. It is very important to be punctual and to be attentive during the lectures. Having full attendance is rewarded with bonus marks. Also the lectures includes a lot of examples within each a topic. I would suggest to note them down as it will be helpful during exams and assignments.
- Third, I always practiced the previous semester’s respective question papers before my exams. This helped me gain a better understanding of the chapters, the question patterns and of course my own progress. Hence, I would advice you to solve the papers available on this website before your exams.
- Fourth, I have always tried my level best to meet the (explicit) requirements in the GA (group assignments) and the term project. The instructor is very serious and strict when it comes to checking them. Hence, I would request you to do sufficient research and give your 100% when it comes to completing these projects.
- Lastly, I would like to say that dedication is the key. You need to stay dedicated, focused and of course professional throughout the course in order to achieve your desired grade. There are ample chances to increase your score by using various bonus opportunities- lab sessions, class participation, full attendance etc. These bonus points has a huge impact on your final grade.
Moreover, I really enjoyed this course. Mr. Khan was very cooperative and understanding whenever I had any inquiries or faced any sort of problem. The classes were very interactive and fun! I got to learn loads of things about E commerce in reality that I never knew before.
I wish every one of you the very best for this course.
