On Tuesday, October 29th we had the very first session for the module ARMPD.
We were given a brief introduction to what we would be learning in the coming weeks.
The main topic that were discussed are:
- The aim of the module
- How the module will be assessed
- How the module will be helpful (practical application).
The module is basically structure in a way to help and mold
the students so that they can prepare themselves for the future in terms of
academically and career wise. As an main requirement of the module each student
is required to individually analyze and
evaluate a particular business process and come up with a new method to improve
the process in order to make it more
efficient or recognizing a particular drawback in the process and
planning out an solution for it(through the use of IT systems) .
Therefore by the end of the module the student should not
only be able to analyze a business process and recognize potential business
opportunities but also be able to document and present the solution/idea in a
clear effective manner and come up with an efficient project proposal.
The module will be accessed in
two ways
- Reflective portfolio – This is a portfolio that will consist of the students comments and outtakes of the sessions done in class. This will carry 50% of the marks.
- Project proposal – The completed project proposal of the chosen project by the student. This will carry 50% of the marks.
The module will also cover some other areas and skills like
Time management , Writing CVs , Preparing interviews , how to conduct effective
research and analyze information and also some other topics that will is needed
to not only to perform well at the end of the module but also perform well in
future academic work and also in future careers .
