Students can only have ten days after the second term exam to withdraw from the course, according to a notice on the notice board.
there should be an notice for the teachers as well to give the results within a week so that students can make up their mind. We still have yet to receive results concerning the first term for a subject.
Well, they disturbed the classes ultimately. They really should have delayed the renovation till summers, but guess thats when they would be in audit.
Anyways, saw the class being taken place in the prayers area, and the prayers area being shifted to the lawn in the middle. The prayers area’s name is the “Water Tank”. Seemed pretty weird that they would have to go through so much hassle in middle of the semester, disrupting classes and causing all sort of confusing.
The Research portal, Room 7 and UGL are the only functional class room in the executive block. Above the administrative wing, Lab 16 and the whole of CCS block is now flooded with students.
The executive side is off for Fridays and Saturdays and their normal classes have been stretched to 75 min to accommodate this.
we have been criticizing the teachers for using old methods of teaching. they are implementing a new and innovative method of teaching, “the student recursive teaching method”. The details of this method are pretty dynamic. basically the students teach the students. its believed that this is the most effective method of teaching students. When the instructor and the students’ frequency match, only then can we impart maximum knowledge. So whats a faster way to match the frequency then to have the instructors from among the students.
the method in execution is easy. you point out a basic framework on the chapters that need to be covered. break the class up into groups of two. assign everyone chapters. and tell them to present to the class. at the end of the class, do a nice little wrap up discussion and the chapter is done. you could throw in a little exercise on the chapter and its all pretty much accomplished.
I mean the students are intelligent enough to teach themselves. the concept was iterated in the movie called “Accepted” . if it can happen in a movie it can happen in real life too. right??
All the mba’s are returning to the same old boring courses with same teachers and the same course outline with the same old jokes and the same old threats.
Marketing issues in Pakistan has been renamed to Marketing Practices in Pakistan.
Entrepreneurship has been renamed to Entrepreneurial Management
They taking the same communication courses and same economics courses. there is seriously no value addition to the returning MBAs. its about time IBA revises its policy on MBA who are coming from the four years bachelor program or atleast the course
IS stands for information systems. In cavemen terms Computers that handle all information and optimize your business. Someone needs to overlook these systems as you use them in your business, usually called the CIO (chief information officer).
In the start – Management Information Systems Course(MIS), introducing the management information system and other types of systems.
In the middle – Information System Administration Course (ISA), telling you how to administer an information system to a certain extent. It even has a lab attached to it.
Towards the end – Information System Management Course (ISM), telling you how to manage an information system.
Now according to Thesaurus.com administration means management. So does the course add value in any sense, even in the name bit… No, seriously doesn’t. I would list it as one of the courses that had negative value addition. It seems like they ran out of ideas for an MIS course so they just merged two courses, taking the name of MIS , and scrambling it to ISM and taking the course outline of ISA and just going over it roughly. Even the book is called “Management Information Systems”.
Moral of the story: Courses that don’t add value should not be included.
Mobin Khalili defied all sense and sensibility today when he ordered the paper of investment banking to be delayed till the teacher Mr. Sameen Ghani shows up. The papers remained sealed till the teacher came, two hours late. Never before has this happen that a paper has been delayed for any reason other than the paper not being there. Mr. Khalili’s instructions were being relayed by his ever faithful peon.
Has the top business school of Karachi gone to the peons ?
If you want to meet the dean and director you have to talk to his peon, he doesnt even have a secretary for crying out loud. If you want to see the controller of examinations you have to talk to his peon.
we can handle the paper being long and half in french, but this insanity of delaying a paper just because the teacher is not there is beyond comprehension. the teacher wasn’t giving the paper, the students were.
Is there a new rule we arent aware of, that says that the concerned teacher has to be present for the paper to begin??
insanity and peons rule.
Hearing rumors about the four year BBA students will be offered to take admission in the One Year MBA program. 
more news as it comes.
In IBA , when you have done your BBA you are allowed to go for a six month internship and then come back to the same God forsaken place to do your MBA in one and a half year unlike other universities that require at least two years of work experience before the MBA. If you don’t want to comeback immediately you seat is open for like ten years, unless you want to change the program. In which case you ll have to give the entrance test, because even after four years of IBA education they still doubt your level of intellect. Talk about not having self-confidence.
Anyways, those who have come back for the so-called Masters are studying the same course, with different names. Like instead of entrepreneurship they are studying entrepreneurial management. Out of six courses , four courses will be repeated.As for the teachers teaching the MBAs, they are the same who are teaching the BBAs. So whats the difference you ask. Well of the letter of course, when you graduate instead of the B it says M. and more importantly you are beyond frustrated because you have spent six years in the same place learning nothing except how to bullshit your way through everything.
Now you may argue that some people might be studying those course for the first time and that they should be accommodated for, but I ask what is the fault of those students who have actually studied those courses. Why not put them on an accelerated program since they already know the stuff. Or at least give them enough time to forget what they had learnt in the previous courses. In some manner it is unfair to both, for the new entrants, that people from BBA have already done the courses so its easy for them, and for the BBAs that they are repeating (just like I am repeating my argument, see how annoying it is).
