Most of the students were satisfied with the courses taught and the faculty members. Faculty members were also satisfied with their feedback by the students. However, problems prevailed with the repeaters. Some of the faculty members suggested increased timings of their lectures from 1 hour to 1.5 hours and inclusion of graphs and stimulations for reduction of boredom in the lectures and making them interactive.

EL 309 VLSI Lab Aneela Sabir VLSI Lab feedback was good. I am satisfied with the feedback.

NL 110 Physics for Engineers Lab

Aneela Sabir The feedback was satisfactory, but feedback of one section shows that some students don’t take it seriously.

EE 217 Circuit Analysis Dr. Tehseen Zahra

The comments are satisfactory. There was no TA announced for the course, as I was grading all the quizzes/exams myself. Generally, as this was a repeat course, the students seemed to have a careless attitude towards learning.

EE 305 Electromagnetic Theory

Dr. Tehseen Zahra

The comments are satisfactory. Overall the concerns are with the course content. This course is mathematically rigourous and challenging. The students had comments that uptil Chapter 6 was easily grasped whereas the last three chapters (7-9) were tough. This would be generally true as the content magnetostatics and maxwells equations (7-9) are much harder to grasp than electrostatics(chapters 1-6).

EE 323 Analogue & Digital Communication

Sana Hassan Students are not satisfied with my teaching style or lecture preparation. There are few main reasons for this.

1. They were being taught by very experienced teachers (Dr. waseem and Dr. Babar ) and they always compare teaching style and knowledge level with them which is obviously no match.

2. In batch 13, most of the students try to ask a lot of basic details again and again until they are not completely satisfied. It generally wastes time a lot, slow down the pace and

19

disturbs the continuation. If they let teacher explain in his own way it can help them more. It’s my style that unless student is not satisfied I don’t go ahead. But this generally made most of the students thinking I am not well prepared and making things confusing. I have learned from this experience that next time I should entertain questions only at lecture end unless it’s quite necessary.

3. I took around 3 weeks leave and this disturbs whole course a lot.

4. I should arrange more tutorials and assignments and quizzes must be taken more. Unfortunately my T.A for this course in this semester did not return assignments and quizzes on time and did not provide any help in arranging tutorials

I promise to work much harder for improving lecture slides, preparing much more than this time and arranging more tutorials and assignment , quizzes if this course is again offered to me

ME 101 Basic Mechanical Engineering

Sana Hassan 1. I covered the last chapter which has only 3 topics in 2 lectures of 1.5 hour. Means 3 topics in 3 hours. It was planned in this way already.

2. Course contents are changing again and again which was very difficult for me to teach totally new things which even I learned for the first time like fluid dynamics so I was not confident about those things while students already learned those things in thermodynamic.

3. Students were not properly shuffled in both sections. I have more number of students which are either below average or a very few were above average.

4. I encourage students again and again to take tutorials given by the T.A of other section but they never listened to me.

5. Availability of course books must be ensured in library.

6. Students found the exams more difficult because they did not prepare well.


Sana Yahya Student’s comments were mostly on huge course outline and having three text books.

ME 201 Applied Thermodynamics

Sana Yahya More comments were related to using slides as teaching medium. Strong dissatisfaction rose from delivery of course and knowledge gained. That is because I had a class in the evening at 4:30pm at that time students are exhausted and do not have any intention of studying. I had two sections and by comparing feedback of both sections I have very positive comments from section which class happened earlier in the day.

EE 309 VLSI Rashid Karim Student’s feedback indicates one relatively weak point:(1) Lack of resources (CAD Tools, relevant course book)Following measures may be taken for the improvements:(1) The relevant course book with list of topics to be covered in the course should be provided(2)CAD tools (Cadence or Mentor Graphics IC design tools) can be purchased

EE 225 Electronic Devices & Circuits

Rashid Karim Student’s feedback indicates two relatively weak points:(1) Lecture of I hour duration is not enough for this course, so make it 1.5 hours(2) Students less participation in the class discussionsFollowing measures may be taken for the improvements:(1) Lectures duration can be increased to 1.5 hours (2) Simulations/ graphical explanation of the boring concepts can be added

EE 227 Digital Logic Design Shehzad Ahmad

Late delivery of marked quizzes and assignments to the students.

Following measure will be taken to address students concerns: Effort will be made to return the marked quizzes and assignments on time.

EE 303 Up Programming & Design

Shehzad Ahmad

Student evaluations do not point out any significant weak area of course and teaching.

EE 227 Digital Logic Design Azhar Rauf For all 3 sections, the worst rated aspects of the course were quality of delivery and organization and presentation of the material. This can be improved by giving a bird’s eye view of the topics (big picture) to be covered during the lecture and a summary tying all the concepts studied at the end.

21

Interestingly, overall ratings for two sections were higher while the 3rd section was more dissatisfied. This (dissatisfied) section was the same which received multiple beratings from my side many times during the semester for their immature and non-serious attitude in class. This observation was shared by other faculty members teaching this section as well.

Sana Hassan Assessment methodology is fine for this course.


Sana Yahya The course assessment was mostly based on logic and conceptual questions. My assessment methodology was based on more focus towards problem solving. Some problems were done in class and some practice problems were given in the end of each topic. Team play and bonus questions were the practices I adopt for the active and healthy class participation.


Sana Yahya The course assessment was mostly based on logic and conceptual questions. My assessment methodology was based on more focus towards the conceptual theory so that students get expertise on applying the correct equations by reading the problem. Some important problems were done in class which is more related to daily life usage equipment and case study. Because it’s more easy to imagine and understand. It also helped to develop student’s interest in the course. Team play and bonus question was done to keep a competitive and interesting class environment and to promote healthy class participation. It also increase students approach towards team work.

EE 309 VLSI Rashid Karim The course was taught based on OBE system with well defined course objectives and outcomes. All assessments were made in accordance to course outcomes. The student feedback/results are encouraging.

Wahaj Aziz I have no access to the earlier faculty course review reports.


Almost all the faculty members have suggested enhancements and have planned to do in their respective courses. For a course named Linear Circuit Analysis, class demos will be added and course should be taught in second semester as suggested by the faculty member.

Further, strategy of showing an overall picture of the lecture in the start of a lecture and going down the detail through the lecture finally making it interactive with the students and involving them.

Course Code


EL 309 VLSI Lab Aneela Sabir There should be Cadence Tool, that would be more helpful in industrial purposes.


Aneela Sabir There should be new labs based on Electricity and electromagnetism.


Dr. Atif Saleem

The course was taught using videoconferencing. Last semester, it was felt that a single person from the academic office should have been dedicated for coordination with the instructor. This semester, Mr. Omar Hassan has been assigned for coordination with the instructor and he seems to be doing a good job.


Dr. Jamshed Iqbal

There were UG as well as PG students under one course code. This did not allow me to specify different evaluation criteria. UG students are focused more towards “Development” side while Master students should be given “Research” exposure. Thus, their evaluation weight-age may be different. However, Neon does not allow this since the course code was one (for UG as well as PG students)


Dr. Jamshed Iqbal

In my opinion, this course should better be moved in 2nd Semester.


Design of the inverter and DC choppers for different applications will be the focus in future.

Sana Hassan Already proposed


Sana Yahya I will reduce the course outline topics and focus on more conceptual lectures and more amount of problem solving.


Sana Yahya Yes few changes will be done.Number of slides are need to reduce further and need to narrow done the course outline. Since Applied thermodynamics is a difficult subject it very difficult for students to grasp the advance study of engineering systems. There are very advance level concepts in applied Thermodynamics which make students confused due their limited know of FSc level studies. I also recommend introducing this course on later stage e.g in 5th semester where students have more exposure and knowledge to industrial systems.

EE 309 VLSI Rashid Karim Following is the recommended change:

33

(1) The objectives and outcomes of the course will be updated and lecture delivery and all assessments (assignment. Quizzes, exams) should be in accordance with objectives/outcomes


Rashid Karim Following is the recommended change:(1) Teaching and assessment in accordance to objective based contents


There must be HDL coding both in class and lab.


Shehzad Ahmad

Instead of 8051 microcontroller, the course contents should be more focused on microcontrollers being used in today’s industry.

EE 227 Digital Logic Design Azhar Rauf Introduce big picture @ start of lecture, summarize lessons at the end and incorporate interactive “games” and competitions which majority of students find greatly enhance and aid deep learning.

Ayesha Bano I received a feedback of 85% from each section that I was teaching. Comments were generally positive. However, some students complained that the course was somewhat dry and boring.

I believe this was due to the fact that the course entailed a tremendous amount of technical learning of HR tools through lectures. Perhaps, this problem of the course being perceived as 'boring' can be overcome by including more participative exercises. This semester, I included three Harvard Business School case discussions in the course and one role play exercise. The number should be increased, as I have realized that students enjoy such exercises more than theoretical discussions.

training and development and employee involvement and communication. It also aimed to develop students’ understanding of how these tools create an effective HR system and the choices facing managers in the effective management and utilisation of human resources within an increasingly dynamic and complex environment. However, one of the topics that is included in HEC curriculum for this course, but I did not include in my outline is 'Job Design and Analysis'. I believe that this topic is more relevant to the course titled 'Organisational Behaviour'. HRM should be viewed and taught with a practical orientation, and the theoretical concepts and rationale which underpin HR tools and practices should be taught in OB, which is in fact, a pre-requisite course of HRM.


Silvia Khatak If one is talking about a pure business perspective, then this course does fine, however, those computer specialists who would like to incorporate their studies into a particular business, then a computer perspective should be added to it


Dr. Sadia Nadeem

This course is the only core course of MBA in the stream of HRM. It aims to develop students’ understanding of personal leadership and issues in personnel management for effective management and utilization of human resources within an increasingly dynamic and complex environment. The course is in line with the NCRC requirements.

The module requires students to have a good understanding of key principles of OB such as motivation, team working, power and politics and leadership. It also demands a good knowledge of HRM practices such as recruitment and selection, pay, appraisals and training. The level at which the course can be targeted varies with the initial level of knowledge of the students, while keeping the minimum requirements in perspective. Thus, the level of delivery of the course varies with the intake of students. While the same topics can be covered every year, with a few additions/refinements, the level of discussion varies. The FA15 class was just an average class.

Project, quiz, assignments, case study discussions, interactive sessions, seminar, conference. Based on these tools I have achieved satisfactory results


The method of teaching was lecture and class discussion.

42


I use quizzes, assignments, exams and project-based assessment methods which I believe are appropriate and effective.


Ayesha Bano The current methods of assessment, specifically the question answer sessions I would conduct at the end of lectures (to assess how attentive the students were during the class) and the case discussions proved to be very effective in clarifying theoretical concepts and enabling the students to apply them to real world organizational problems. I strongly recommend that they should continue in the future.

The final project which required students to visit an organization and analyze its current HRM system, along with providing recommendations for improvement also proved to be very effective. It provided students the opportunity to explore how the HR tools they studied in the course, are applied in real world organisations.


Silvia Khatak The students have been assessed using multiple assessments such as quizzes, assignments, exercises and case studies(apart from their regular exam). Effectiveness of evaluation is good as it keeps the students on toes.


Dr. Sadia Nadeem

In addition to lectures, the course taught in FA15 covered discussion of various non-academic articles, industry standards, thorough discussion of two books, analysis of five case studies, and discussion on selected poetry of Iqbal (for leadership). All students were involved in at least two presentations. Except for lectures, all the activities were marked, which resulted in regular assessment and helped in achieving the learning outcomes.


Quizes, Projects and Exams


Students are assessed on the basis of Assignments, quizzes, examinations and class participation. Since it is an introductory level course so more importance is given to examination.


Falak Khan The Course objectives were successfully achieved.

MG 220 Marketing Strategy Sarah Khan Understand what marketing is. Who are customers and why are they

important to any organization Difference between consumer and business

markets and how companies tap them differently

Decide as to who your target market is and how to gain insight into its needs and wants

Different pricing strategies Different promotional strategies Different distribution strategies and why

each one is adopted in a particular situationMG 223 Fundamentals of

ManagementSara Qazi As predicted earlier the course content was delivered

through case study analysis, small group interactive lectures and discussions, reviewing sample practices from the industry and role-play exercises. Students were also taught how to analyze a case study to facilitate them for future courses. Greater practical knowledge was also disseminated through inviting guest speakers. A total of 6 case studies primarily from Harvard Publishing were utilized consisting of different countries ethical dilemmas such as USA, Hong Kong, India. Students were encouraged to professional present their ideas in the case study scheduled classes and they clearly showed their understanding and comprehension of difficult topics. Students also linked their class courses will the case studies discussed during their class, which was a marked activity. FOM Batch of 100 plus students were also provided an opportunity to understand the dynamics of Management operations through two Guest Speakers.


Most of the faculty members have showed that the changes proposed earlier had been implemented successfully. Fundamentals of Management was designed entirely. Bokks in some of the courses have been updated such as inclusion of “Rich Dad Poor Dad” in entrepreneurship

Ayesha Bano I am not aware of changes proposed in earlier reports as they have not been communicated to me.


Silvia Khatak I am unaware of changes proposed earlier.


Dr. Sadia Nadeem

The quality of intake of students needs to be improved before any changes can be implemented.


No Changes recommended Previously


NA: As I am filling this Performa for the first time.


Falak Khan The changes in early review reports were incorporated by giving detailed knowledge to the students in specific topics.


Sara Qazi The course was redesigned from scratch entirely as this was the first time it was being taught by the faculty member.

This course required constant and continuous research and internalization of new concepts, which the students did depict within the first month especially through their case study discussions and presentations. Students also developed capabilities that contribute to the overall goal of improving international and Pakistani organizational performance. All students benefitted by focusing on POLC through interactive class discussions, industrial examples and team project assignments. Module also provided crucial knowledge as a base for advanced level courses. Course’s aim was to develop analytical skills, theoretical comprehension, responsibility and accountability through inculcating proper behavior and discipline. Through case discussions students also developed to tackle management challenges and maintaining consistent viewpoints. Students were also provided understanding of tools such as SWOT, PESTLE, BCG Matrix, PERT similar Project Management Tools, Leadership Motivation Competencies, Basis for Operations and Quality Standards.


45

Almost all the faculty members have suggested enhancements and have planned to do in their respective courses. Some of them have suggested following activities:

i. Real life case studies (Ideally from Pakistan)ii. Guest speaker sessions

iii. Increase in number of class exercisesiv. Incorporation of more industrial linkages opportunitiesv. Conference in entrepreneurship

vi. Industrial visitsvii. Introduction to the principles/ standards of accounting

Course Code



Sarfraz Ali Kiyani

In future, I would plan a to invite guest speakers on Marketing who would tell the students what is happening in the industry and what are the gaps that need to be filled.


In future, I would plan a conference in Entrepreneurship where expert entrepreneurs will mentor students and tell them about their success stories.



Industrial visits can enhance the learning of the students.


Industrial visits can enhance the learning of the students.


More class participation will be encouraged.


I intend to increase the number of class exercises to enhance students’ learning.


Ayesha Bano I believe that more case discussions of real world organisations (ideally from Pakistan) need to be included. It encourages student participation and develops their analytical skills. Guest speaker sessions of HR practitioners should also be arranged. I was unable to do so this semester but will certainly invite one to two speakers the next time I teach this course.


Silvia Khatak Should have more examples from the computer side or have a perspective from a computer specialist.


Dr. Sadia Nadeem

The students should be given a reading list of books to read at least four weeks before the semester start date. This requires that MBA admissions are made well in advance of the start of the semester, and the reading

46

lists are forwarded to them along with their admission offer. Reading good books is critical to develop mature thinking and advance planning abilities, which are a critical element of MBA.


No changes


For business students it has to be based on real life case studies.


Falak Khan The current course lacks introduction and explanation of the principles/standards for Accounting their implementation and body of knowledge, which should be focused.
