Hello everyone!
I’m Samarth Islam and I’ve done the MIS105 (Computer Information System) during the Fall’18 semester with Mr. Adeyl Khan. I believe him to be one of the friendliest and most practical faculties I’ve ever come across in my 2 and a half years of studying at NSU. I’ll try to keep the tips and tricks in the following paragraph short and simple for your convenience.
1) Professionalism: Try to maintain this aspect throughout the whole semester since the faculty admires this trait in his students. Dress professionally and do not be late to his classes whilst keeping a mental note of the things he says in the introductory class.
2) Course website: It’s imperative that you join the course website and visit it frequently so that you’re updated with everything that goes on in the course you’re enrolled in.
3) Attendance and class participation: If it’s possible, try to maintain a full attendance and stay vigilant of any questions that the faculty asks in the class. Try to give your feedback on the things he discusses and try to answer his questions accordingly. It doesn’t matter if you’re wrong, you’ll still learn.
4) Course load and studying pattern: Being a Microbiology major I had never (truly been exposed to the business side of the world. It was especially tough for me adjusting to the climate of the course especially since the faculty goes fast at times. But coming back home, I reviewed the lectures and notes I took in class. It’s important that you draw (or take pictures of) the mind-maps in class and understand the concepts. The course design will ultimately result in your critical thinking ability being heightened.
5) Pressure: It’s true the faculty likes to keep his students on their feet at all times. After all, you have to earn that "A", right? Don’t worry and just be sincere with the course load. I had to allocate a portion of my day to the course because there were some terms I had never heard before in my life. It was this aspect of me balancing my major life sciences courses with this one that really helped me in the long run regarding my routine and time management.
6) Exams, assignments and bonuses: To keep it really short, the best advice would be to review the samples of the mid and final papers the night before the exams and meticulously complete all the assignments. Choose your group mates wisely and if you have any queries regarding any of the content just visit the faculty in an office hour. The questions are very easy if you paid attention in class and know your content. There are a LOT of bonus opportunities to get you closer to an A, make sure you strive to get all of them.
Best of luck! I would like very much to help you studying for the course and feel free to contact me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/samarth.islam
