Confusion About Tomorrow!

Some of you have expressed concerns about tomorrow's exam because of strikes announced by a few transport bodies. Just like you, I also don't have any definite answer to your queries.

My suggestion: You go out in the street tomorrow and if you see people going to their destinations, you also do the same and come to the campus. Otherwise if you see people not going anywhere you also do not go anywhere, so don't come.

My conclusion: If I see classes being cancelled by all other teachers just because students could not come to the campus, there will be no exam. But if I see classes/exams are held by other course teachers, I will also hold my exams.

I hope you understand my point. Thanks.

FIN254 & ACT201: Midterm-II Exam Room!

Dear ACT201 and FIN254 students:

Thanks.

ST Makeup on 28th December!

The Registrar's Office has just announced ST makeup schedule for 28th of December (Saturday). So, second midterm exam for FIN254 and ACT201 will be held on that day.

Thanks.

Conference in Malaysia!

I will be out of the country to attend a conference in Malaysia. As my flight is in the evening of 28th December (Saturday), classes/exams will be held on that day. I will inshallah return on the 3rd of January (Friday) early in the morning, so Friday classes will also be held. As such, there will be no class between 29th of December (Sunday) and 2nd of January (Thursday). Makeup classes will be arranged once I come back.

Thanks.

BUS172: Midterm-II Exam Room!

Dear all BUS172 students:

NAC311 has been booked as the venue for the second midterm. We will follow regular class schedule for the exam timing. So, go to the exam hall instead of your regular class room. Please inform your classmates about it.

Thanks.

BUS172: Midterm-II

The Registrar's Office has just announced 26th of December (Thursday) to be MW makeup class day. As such, the second midterm for BUS172 will be held on 26th December (Thursday) and we will have a regular class (MW) on Friday 27th of December.

In case there is a blockade or strike on 26th December (Thursday), midterm will be held on 27th December (Friday). And please don't forget... we have quiz 2 tomorrow in NAC415 at 12:30 pm. Best of luck for the quiz.

Thanks.

BUS172: Quiz 2!

This is to inform all my BUS172 students that the second quiz will be held on the 25th of December, 2013 (Wednesday) in NAC415 at 12:30 pm followed by a review class.

Please inform all your classmates about this. Don't miss this class as there is no makeup for a missed quiz. You should also understand that the next available MW class after the quiz will be used for the second midterm.

I am very sorry for any inconveniences caused by this schedule. I hope you will understand the necessity of this given the fact that we have missed a lot of classes already because of ongoing country-wide blockade. Thanks.

Latest Update!

It is sad that NSU administration is yet to make any decision about today's classes. It's approach is: let's wait and see!

However, it seems that transportation is not adequately available on the roads. There are reports of destruction in various places. So, I have decided not to hold classes today and tomorrow.

Will let you know about makeup schedule later on. Take this opportunity to prepare for you quizzes and exams. In addition FIN254 students can work on the project as well. Email me if you need any help.

Thanks.

Update!

A lot of you have emailed me to know about the status of our classes of tomorrow or next few days during the country-wide blockade. Honestly speaking, I don't know that for sure what is going to happen. Usually classes are held during blockades but not during hartals. But if there's a lot of destruction on the roads, then don't take the risk, so don't come.

I will make another post tomorrow early in the morning once I come to the campus.

Thanks.
