Orientation

Posted at 2:20 PM, Friday, January 12, 2007

It did work out really smoothly! This orientation was the best yet! No "glitches" from my point of view but one could argue that registration isn't over yet so perhaps we can't conclude that orientation has been perfect just yet. However, admissions check in was as organized as can be - parents and students came in, provided necessary documetns, updated and verified all information, and left for finance check-in. I guess everything at finance also went just as nicely as at welcome and admissions check-in. Me and Nousheen were at admissions check-in. Nayyara, Saima and Hamman didn't work in the orientation, they were busy with getting registration set. The orientation process went thus: first students came to the Welcome Check-in to get their registration numbers and some other stuff. From there they proceeded to the Admissions check-in (which happens in two offices). The next stop was the finance check-in station. After that, I think students and parents were taken for a tour around the campus and the university club. Later on in the day, students and parents attend a brief discussion with returning students and some administrative staff and faculty. I guess that's about it, not sure what happens next. At least I think I'm sure it happened this way, haha. Anyways, thanks to the Lord I managed to get pictures of the whole process from Admissions office, awesome! All pictures were taken by Mustapha (a sophomore student here who also does his work-study at the admissions office). I think the pictures are great, have a look:

I hope the pictures are good, at least I was finally able to put some. BTW, the picture right above shows one of the auditoriums in the multipupose building. In fact, all check-in stations were in the multi-purpose/general purpose building. The picture that shows Dean Smith on a tour with parents and students was actually taken in the Arts and Sciences building. We'll be having all classes scheduled there this semester. Sound great! Well, it was great seeing no chaos ......hmmmm..........God willing registration will also be smoother this time..........

Orientation

Welcome back to school as an Advanced Sophomore student. During the holiday I exchanged mail with Dr. L. Dobson. From Her word and prompt action to my suggestion, I will say your school have dedicated staff and faculty members. I really do like the school's second website. I see no reason why the site cannot be patched with the main site. Yes, the orientation pics look stunning. I do believe in the whole school project. I hope the standard set today will be maintained as tomorrow roll in. In no time you and your mate, after making it in the market place, will look back and dip your hands in your pocket and donate to your alma matter. Keep fit and good luck. One more thing, now that your school is now multi system campus, will you start a MUG? Search Apple site for a MUG. Cheers.

Ah, good photos ! This is the new campus, right ? Where is it located, and you should post some more wide angle & birds-eye views of the campus so that we can get a perspective of the scenery as well. Hey, both of you seem to have become full-fledged staff-members as well....hope they are paying you a good salary !

I 've got a relative who interested in studying in ABTI (Information Technology) and was wondering if u could help me with the breakdown of courses for Information Systems and Computer Science.

Hello, good to know you're interested in IT :) Yes Information Systems, Computer Science and Software Engineerign are all quite different from each other. Looking at the concentrations in each major as well as career opportunities would best help to differentiate the three. IS (Information Systems) is business-related and includes databases and networking. CS (Computer Science) on the other hand, is about the computer's "internal" stuff such as architecture, data structures, operating systems details, programming logic etc. SEN (Software Engineering) is concerned with software development and includes programming, steps of software deveolpment life cycle and pretty much of what is in CS (they're both kind of similar if you look at the courses offered).
