1. Students in a semester system are overloading with assignments and projects. Thus I have resorted to a manageable load of 6 assignments for a course. 2. The pre-university education system encourages students to cram solutions and reproduce verbatim in exam. This makes the student develop poor study habits. 3. There is no point in teaching if the teaching does not focus on concepts and examinations are not unseen. For the upheaval of course quality I focus on both. 4. Based on poor study methods the students do not study at home and always run after slides, written notes and solution manuals to cram their way through the course and pass it. I discourage this practice. 5. When students do not get good grades by not studying properly, they blame the system, teacher and teaching. 6. My main focus is to devise strategies that make the students work at home -- which by its very nature is not an easy job. Students resort to copying and cramming whenever they get a chance.

Durdana Habib Signals & Systems EE223

The course content is more appropriate in relation to the intended course objective—to provide understanding of signals, systems and transforms—than the HEC approved curriculum which has an overlap with DSP, Control, and communications. The three fields are discussed briefly but the treatment of core concepts of signals and systems is covered in greater depth. Moreover, the HEC approved curriculum does not include coverage of Laplace transforms. Detailed treatment of the Laplace transform from the perspectives of motivation, interpretation, and application was included.

Moreover, activities of research papers and research projects further strengthened the learning outcomes for Master students.

EE319

The HEC curriculum (Feb 2012), mentions a course "Probability and Random Processes" in the Telecommunication specialization but the curriculum does not mention course objectives/outline. A basic course with the name "Probability Methods in Engineering" given in HEC curriculum is supposed to introduce probability and statistics. However, it does not fulfill the requirements the curriculum unless "Random Variables" are properly covered. Therefore, the course, I have taught with emphasis on engineering examples, covers the needs of the EE curriculum and is recommended to be included in the HEC curriculum. Given that the students would study only a single course in probability, the contents of the course cannot encompass "Random Processes". It is therefore recommended that the course be named "Probability and Random Variables", instead of "Probability and Random Processes", since it would be more in line with the learning objectives

Final Lab exam was conducted which consisted of experiments based practical questions and covered nearly all aspects of practical learning of the lab.


Regular quizzes were taken, which were meant not only to assess the students but also to keep them curious. Assignments were kept open-ended so the students get a flavor of how problems in the real world are tackled. Quizzes, midterm and finals were kept mainly to assess their understanding and their ability to apply their knowledge to solve problems within a limited time.

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.

The main objective of teaching any course is to enable the students to apply the concepts learnt. By giving problems that are unseen (not covered in the class) I ensure that students are able to apply the concepts taught to them or learnt through examples, assignments and quizzes. Assignments are given for the students to test their polished concepts as if they are exam questions. Quizzes, focus on one small concept at a time. To enable them handle real world problems and to apply the concepts of probability to the problems, a project can be given at the end. This time I have not given it to relieve students of end of semester burden

This semester, the course was taught to students at the Islamabad campus and the Karachi campus simultaneously.

The academic officers should coordinate with each other to ensure that they schedule the examinations at the same time and date for both the campuses. 2) The examination format for the Islamabad campus and the Karachi campus are different. It causes extra work for the instructor to format the papers for two campuses. There should be a unified format given that the two campuses belong to the same university. 3) The format of the course files for the Karachi campus and the Islamabad campus are different.

Ayesha BanoFundamentals of Management

The current methods of assessment, especially the case study discussions (of firms in the IT sector) and guest speaker session 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. A very important element of the course was the semester project, which required students to analyze how the teams in NaSCon (a major event held annually at FAST-NUCES) utilize the four managerial functions to achieve their goals and make the event a success. It provided students the opportunity to critically examine how the management functions they studied in the course are applied in a real world context and also encouraged them to provide solutions to any managerial problems they identified.


The current methods of assessment, especially the case study discussions and role plays 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 semester 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 critically examine how the HR tools they studied in the course are applied in real world organisations

Sara Qazi Business Ethics MG324

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. Greater practical knowledge was also disseminated through inviting guest speakers and industry-based projects/ trips. A total of 9 case studies primarily from Harvard Publishing were utilized consisting of different countries ethical dilemmas such as Saudi Arabia, China, Hong Kong and USA. 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 with the case studies discussed during their class, which was a marked activity. Business Ethics batch of 151 students were also provided an opportunity to understand the dynamics of through a Guest Speaker session with National Accountability Bureau Director General with associated Personnel and Coca Cola Sales Executive. Class Assignments, role plays and activities were also introduced to make the course more interesting for the students while enhancing their understanding of critical concepts

Sara Qazi Business Ethics

MG324 This course was modified considerably for graduating batch of FAST Management School in spring 2016. The aim was to provide the students with understanding of moral paradigms within the business context while basing the content on three broad dimensions which were primarily 1) Theories of Business Ethics 2) Corporate Social Responsibility and 3) Corporate Governance inclusive of Moral leadership. During the development of the course it was considered that students must obtain the skills of differentiating between right and wrong especially within a business context therefore the course content incorporated experiential learning of practical business ethics applications while simultaneously advancing their knowledge in concepts/ principles such as morality, values, norms, codes and cultural beliefs. Eventually most of our graduating students do acquire jobs and in the long run they become strategic partners and leaders in organizations therefore it was pertinent to equip the students with decision making frameworks with competencies of providing ethical practical solutions, analyzing whether an act is just or not and to resolve ethical dilemmas both in their professional and personal lives. It is certainly a fact that a person’s moral and ethical disposition usually develops during childhood, adolescence, initial period of youth and day to day leave however this course covered societal factors especially with regards to organizational impact. Subsequently students were also to develop their sense of responsibilities and obligations as members of workforce as well as society through understanding organizational stakeholders, employee rights, role of government, media, marketing, consumer product, economic/ fiscal policies, environment concerns through and corporate social responsibility standards. Students also deliberated contemporary ethical concerns facing businesses, which include components such as moral reasoning/ relativism, law, equity, justice/ fairness and minimum ethical standards. Simultaneously students also developed understanding of traditional philosophies such as Utilitarianism, Kantianism, and Hedonism etc. The aim was also that students develop a moral compass through different perspectives, normative theories and classical concepts. Crucially a main aim of the course was to develop a wholesome workforce with courage, fairness, perseverance to use power, money, and influence others in constructive ways. The basic modifications consisted of introducing more case based discussions to facilitate practical learning of students. Lectures such as Social

48

Responsibility were merged with Universal Standards while newer relevant statistics and facts were added to the lectures.

- Guest speaker sessions of HR practitioners working in Accounting or Finance firms should be arranged. - Less emphasis on theory and more emphasis on practical application of concepts. For instance, I asked the students to prepare a role play on the selection process. Similar exercises could be arranged on other tools of HRM, for instance performance appraisal. - For the semester project, A&F students should be bound to choose a firm from the banking or financial services industry, to make the project more relevant to their degree

Sara Qazi Business Ethics MG324

Students must be provided with more practical experience though they were encouraged to incorporate the Business ethics contemporary or traditional theories, frameworks and models in their case discussions as well as the final semester project. It is crucial that in the future students are also provided with Community Service Ventures however students were also encouraged to visit the under developed area of Islamabad for the Final Year Project. Ventures such as Tree Plantation, Clean Up Islamabad Campaign and Collecting Funds for the Underprivileged will also be considered in the future

It has worked effectively


This particular course focuses a lot on continuous evaluation of students to keep a check on the process of their verbal skills being built. The methods of assessment employed through questioning done in the classes, written quizzes, asking for regular feedback, assigning different activities etc. make sure that the learning process keeps going and does not become stagnant. Besides, a maximum number of activities done during the course are graded right on the day they are done, so they give a timely and regular indication of how the learning objectives are being met, and what improvements are necessary, and in what areas. So yes, the methods of assessment used are indeed effective in achieving the decided course objectives
