HS 454: Principles of Management and Organisational Behaviour

Professor when you took the course: Prof. Meenakshi Gupta

Feedback on Lectures:

The lectures were very entertaining and interesting. The professor used to gave various real life examples and most of the concepts were relatable or easy to think and understand.
Some 8-9 classroom activities were conducted which were very interesting and they promoted group discussions. Since, the class took in LT and less students were there, the focus was good.

Pre-requisites: None

  1. Mid-Sem – 25%
  2. Assignment(2 Page Report) – 10%

The class was divided into teams of 8-9 people and 25% of the marks was team effort.

Feedback on tutorials/assignments and exams:

  1. Mid-Sem/End-Sem: These are subjective and involved 5-6 questions. To get a perfect score, you should remember the concepts and the proper flow as was in the slides. Even if you don’t remember things, at least 50% of the questions will be intuitive and you will be able to write something to get a decent score.
  2. Assignment: It is like a summary or basically your learnings from the 8-9 classroom activities. It is easy to score 8-10 if you answer the questions properly relating the activities to the concepts.
  3. Project Report and Presentation: There’s a flexibility to choose the topic but the only condition is that it should relate to the concepts taught in the class. 4-5 team meetings for planning, finalising and working on your topic is enough ( may vary depending on the project topic you are choosing). Presentation is also manageable if you divide the work properly and everyone do their part well enough.

Difficulty Level: 3.5/5 (Relative Grading)

Attendance Policy: Institute attendance policy of 80% and DX too. Manual attendance.
