The course Computer Organization and Assembly Language EE 213 is well defined to understand the basic concepts of computer organization. All concepts are practically implemented using assembly language. By applying knowledge into practice they get a good understanding of the lower level details of a computer system at the hardware level. The project also plays an important role to test all the concepts studied in the class.

The course is offered in third semester, and is a pre-requisite for Computer Architecture course. This course provides an overview of the architecture and organization of a computer, such as the CPU, memory, I/O organization, peripherals and so on. From this course, students learns the basics of computer architecture and low level programming, i.e. assembly code and hardware manipulation. It focuses on the basic concepts of computer architecture and machine instructions; memory access and storage; instruction execution; assembly language; computer organization; data representation and transfer; digital arithmetic; memory storage and addressing methods; procedures and interrupts; conditional processing, and so on. The course is taught at an appropriate level, after this students will be able to learn the details on computer architecture and other core concepts.

Question 3: Assessment tools used during semester

Most of the tools used for assessment of students by faculty members are listed below:

1. Quizzes2. Assignments3. Projects4. Demos5. Sessional 6. Final Exam

Most of the faculty members have used the tests and sessional exams on proved methods of evaluation keeping in view the objective based outcomes of the evaluations. Whereas, lab instructors have suggested the improvement in assessment process by taking the demos like programming and asking the students for the full implementation of their projects. Some of the lab instructors have used changed way for assessment and strictly observed that. Comments in this portion can be seen as under:

Some faculty members have suggested changes in their respective courses; that is; the addition of course content. However, some of them have strongly recommended that students’ projects should be in line with their other projects. Some changes have been planned in teaching methodology and inclusion of new evaluation system for real time industry solutions.

Further, some other sources such as, videos and online lectures have been planned for making the classes more interesting and understandable. Group activities in the labs are suggested for improved performance of students.

Introduction To Computing EE116

The HEC curriculum (Feb 2012), recommends Introduction To Computing to be a 1 CH course, that has been found too little for any useful objectives to be achieved. The course has been converted to a 2 CH course.The course contents as suggested by HEC puts very little emphasis of teaching any language syntax in this course. Given the level of expertise expected in the industry in a programming language, we have introduced the basics of C++ language as part of this course.So basic I/O, data types, one dimensional arrays, strings, basic algorithms like bubble sort and binary search are introduced besides teaching flowcharts and basics about computers.

The HEC curriculum (Feb 2012), recommends Introduction To Computing to be a 2 CH course, that has been found too little for any useful objectives to be achieved in a second course in Programming. The course has been converted to a 3 CH course.The course contents as suggested by HEC is too spread out. It includes abstract data types, exceptions and assertions, collections, GUI and Event-Driven programming, all concepts which are too advanced to be taught in a second course in programming, especially after a basic course (1 or 2 CH). Despite introducing basic C++ in ITC in the first course, there is a lot to be taught to make a student able to write a serious program in C++.Our course outline is far realistic, logical and achievable in a 3 CH course.A student who understands structures and linked lists and can implement them with as well as without using OOP remains the core objective of the course.

All students benefited by focusing on sustainable management solutions through interactive class discussions, industrial examples and team Final Semester Assignment, other assignments. Module also provided crucial knowledge as a base for advanced level courses, such as Strategic Management, Strategic HRM, OD and Change Management, International HRM, Compensation, and Performance Management Systems. Subcomponents such as Entrepreneurship, Career Management, Competency Development, Strategic Management, Human Resource, Organizational Behaviour, Operational/ Inventory were also been included within the four core Management Function lifecycle. Basic introduction/ implications will also be provided to students for concepts such as Moral Leadership, Motivation, Organization Structure Design and Development, Forecasting Benchmarking, Communication and Continuous Improvement. These subcomponents were added to provide students an introduction and familiarize them with basic yet critical concepts to simultaneously set the foundation for advanced courses that the students will be attempting within their Management studies. Other essential areas that were added provide an overview of new management practices for attaining high performance, team working and ethical prerogatives. Participants of this course also acquired insight regarding the interdependence of organizational units/ divisions and the dynamic organizational practices within different industrial sectors.

This semester, I used four books which included one essential reading (Samson and Daft) and three recommended readings (Robbins, Hitt and Griffin) to prepare my lectures. I believe that greatly enhanced my own understanding of concepts as well as the students. The reasons behind this is that sometimes the students do not understand the language used by a certain author when explaining a concept. However, when they consult other books which explain the same concept in simple terminology along with examples, their understanding is strengthened and ultimately the learning objectives of the course are effectively fulfilled.

MG 223 Quizzes, class assignments, marked case discussions and marked class participation should continue. I am especially in favor of question answer sessions at the end of lectures to assess how attentive the students were during the lecture. All such participation should be objectively and individually marked. Sessionals and Final exams should continue to hold a high weightage and should be a combination of objective and subjective questions. I kept the weightages 30% for the Sessionals and 50% for the Finals. That way students take these assessments seriously and ensure not to leave topics on choice during exam preparation. Another assessment that could be included is to take students on an industry trip and then ask them to prepare a report in which they link the theories studied in class to what they actually observed in reality (as one of the LOs is to enable the students to critically evaluate the applicability of theories in the real world). I fulfilled this LO through a semester project in which I asked students to choose a small or medium enterprise, and prepare a report presenting its strategic analysis.
