It’s been almost one and a half years since I joined MAPS College to pursue higher studies as part of the first-ever batch of “MAPS’ Associate’s Degree in Business Management”. It’s been a wonderful experience as a part-time student, studying on block-mode. The recent introduction of “Google classroom” has been quite a break through as we get the chance to interact with classmates and lecturer in the comfort of work or at home while the text books and lecturer’s teaching material are made available too. Assignments can also be done and turned in via it. The College has a great collection of reading material in its Library equipped with computer systems that enable us to browse the Internet while going through printed references.
One of the most frequently met person at MAPS is the course coordinator Ms Inasha Afeef, who has worked tirelessly over the last 18 months. She has been prompt to our queries & available almost instantly to have discussions on any matter related to the course. She’s also ensured that MAPS provides quality lecturers for our modules & I don’t recall that any module has been postponed or cancelled due to the lack of lecturers.
As far as the Lecturers go, each and everyone has been very diligent and professional while teaching us. Their command of the subjects as well as vast experience in their respective fields have been an added bonus for us as we get the chance to exchange ideas, real life examples to during the lectures.
One particular lecturer I’d like to commend is Ms Eeman Shareef who has taught us 6 modules from a total of 16. When she initially joined & started teaching in June 2013, she was a part-time lecturer & currently a full time lecturer at MAPS. During the course of the last 18 months she has been one of the instrumental figures in encouraging us in our endeavour to successfully complete the course. Her advise, continued guidance, support and unique way of teaching has been a tremendous encouragement in our short journey at MAPS so far. After the completion of this course I do plan to pursue MBA at MAPS College too.
