12. Instructors Introduction - Favorite Quotes "Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: A desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill." -Muhammad Ali

13. Course Administration &Requirements

14. Course Administration • Exams and Assessment • Basically 2 exams method Mid & Final • 30 Mid • 50 Final • 20 Sessionals

15. Examination • I personally believe in “thorough studies” so usually no choices given in the exam • Every thing discussed, during the class or given as reading material, could be part of the exams • Questions will be formulated in a way to examine both bookish as well as conceptual thinking • Other details will be given close to Mid • I will try to follow my simple rule that is • “ I’ll be very friendly in the lectures and very strict in the exam hall (believe me no chance of misconduct…)”

16. Lecture Notes • Available from Photostat shop before lectures or preferably one day before the start of new week • Usually the lecture material will cover the topics of one week • Lecture Notes also now available online on the given website address http://themirs.org/business-admin-courses/itc • Lecture Notes will not be in detail format rather these will contain topics of discussion and important announcements regarding assessments. • Most Importantly Lecture Notes are just a supporting material and students must not forget to read books for detail and complete understanding

17. Important Resources – MIS Online Resource Center

18. Course Administration • Sessionals • Written assignments (Small Tasks) (details in coming lectures) • Critiques on Articles (a one page summary on an article related to the discussion topic and trends in Training and Development • Idea is to initiate research oriented writing not “cut-copy-paste” • Attendance, Presentations, Quiz & Class Discussion & Participation (as a regular activity) • Volunteer presentations (you must not be that familiar with this kind of stuff but you need to respond to it quickly!) • Sessional’s loot sale • Formal Presentations in groups and preferably case study presentations linking contents to an organization (local)

19. How to get more marks? • Requirements • Overall Class Attitude • Things to Avoid (Referencing, Cut-Copy-Paste Culture, Carelessness, leg-pulling) • Things to do (Innovation, Confidence, Work Attitude) • Sense of Maturity and continuous learning

20. One of the Major Sessional • Case Study Presentation • Students in groups of 2-3 will choose an Organization that has implemented a project recently (Preferably a Pakistani Organization) • Written Case should be developed on the given format (A model format will be discussed in upcoming lectures) • Students need to develop a proper case study using the case study development guidelines • Eventually will present their findings in the shape of a Presentation in front of the class or classes on Multimedia • Students need to submit both Hard (Printed) and Soft copies (Computer files) of the Case itself and that of the PowerPoint Presentation • This is day 1 so you can start working now! • I will myself present at least one Case Study well before the presentation schedule so that you people have an idea

21. Course Orientation • Basically Theoretical focus & Practical as well Introduction of Concepts and Issues regarding Training and Development (This subject is developed in case study mode: it means that there are lot of case studies) • But • The practical orientation will also be also be a major focus of the course (this will include practical demonstration on multimedia) • Lecture notes will include more graphical explanation of things to give more practical orientation about concepts & applications especially the latest trends • Formal Presentation from Students will also work in this regard • Video or Audio Presentation will also be part of the lectures

22. Text and References • Focus will be on topics rather Chapters of any text • Text/books are available in market • Shelly Cashman (2017). “Discover Computers”: Tools, Apps, Devices and the Impact of Technologies. Cengage LearningBut • Not necessarily every thing is taught from the Text, Students need to broaden their view and consult as many additional references as possible (Preferably available in local market and from the Internet) • This time few simple yet important cases will be discussed during the lectures • Practical Examplesare now a definite part of the curriculum
