Faculty Forum / Re: Regarding Semester Break

« on: May 11, 2011, 06:04:31 PM »

Oh finally ( in written format) like all of my colleagues I got the chance to pay my heartiest thanks to DIU authority and the honorable initiator/s to approve/arrange a semester break. I am really very excited and grateful to the authority for this approval and announcement. I think with this break even of two days, teachers will be cheered up refreshed and would be prepared for the new journey new semester with new students and lesson plans.

Wish a good move of DIU.

Faculty Forum / Lecture in English

« on: March 30, 2011, 10:23:48 AM »

Dear All

The step, obviously effective step taken by dean sir that lecturing in English is really in action now. No confusion to accept that many of us including the students thought that it might be a massacre that if we would continue to deliver the lecture in English. But  after the meeting on 29 th March, 2011 like me all of my colleagues have become convinced that lecturing in English will do nothing but ensure the development of ourselves, I want to believe. I want to share one thing with the concerned with due respect to all.

As we all know, D. college is credited with good results, University of Dhaka is possessing the best intellectuals, products, BUET is producing the best engineers no doubt. To understand the quality, previous result of the students of those institutions we don't need to do research. In no way I want to accept that teaching staff here is anyway lagging so far behind compared to them at least in terms of dedication. So, teachers here are capable of keeping peace with anything good for DIU.

  Missing line is the absence of stringent admission procedure to get admission here, I consider. Due to this, very often some of the students are going with the expected quality of the university but many are not. The outcome is that either teachers are to compromise or to ignore most of the students' unexpected demand at university level and inevitably are getting very unsatisfactory (....... I think my colleagues can receive this).

So, until we can be selective in admitting the students ( I am not talking about the question paper; I have no doubt about the standard of QPs at least for a private university), it's better to convey the massages to our students, better to talk with the students at a proper platform. That should not be from the concerned course teachers. I believe this will reduce the gap between the guided actions of teachers and the psychological arrangements of our students and a very congenial environment will be created as all we expect.

In the last meeting honorable advisor sir , dean sir suggested some guidelines to improve the quality of education here. In addition to those, if we become selective in admission, I think job market will get the signal that best graduates are of DIU.


We don't want to sell our products (service of our graduates) rather we want to make the buyers (employers) crazy for hiring our graduates. Let's hands together.

Faculty Forum / Dreamy Permanent Campus

« on: February 27, 2011, 04:45:27 PM »

I think all of my colleagues have become excited to imagine our realistic permanent campus. I hope that DIU campus will be one of the best campuses in the world. so far as know DIU authority is very much concerned on that point.

From the last  visit, I feel that now we should go for planting some trees there so that when the campus will start, students can sit beneath the shadow of the tree. Besides, that will give a very nice look of the campus.

BBA Discussion Forum / Re: what is happening by the name of " Group Assignment"??

« on: February 27, 2011, 04:28:16 PM »

Dear Habib and all my students

It's a pity for us that, although group assignment and presentations are really very important for learning and for preparing yourselves for the future, most of the students are not being benefited by the way they are proceeding. Actually in case of group job their might have free rider problem and always there be. What can we (teachers) do is to introduce some techniques to catch the free-riders and marks will be allocated accordingly.

Students should preserve all the assignments done by them throughout the semesters as that may be very much helpful in crisis moment in future.

BBA Discussion Forum / Re: Responsibility for our respective teachers on lift in our FBE campus

« on: February 27, 2011, 04:12:59 PM »

It implies that DIU is on the right track to be a model for the private universities in creating a nice environment within the campus. Like Raju sir I also enjoy the journey with my dear students in the lift and I have observed that students show their respect toward their teachers at the time of entrance.

One suggestion that I may put towards my students not to hang their bags on their shoulders because this reduces the capacity to carry another extra person to lift.

We, all, together will make this campus a model campus in all aspects.

BBA Discussion Forum / Foundation Day celebration @ Permanent campus

« on: February 08, 2011, 12:50:18 PM »

Foundation day is being celebrated every year  with great joy and pleasure . But this year, celebration program will be marked different and be colored more as it is the first time we are arranging it at our permanent campus. No doubt, indeed, credit goes to the authority who has made  the teachers and students proud to be of a university which owns the permanent campus.


Let's make the foundation day successful.

Faculty Forum / Re: Global warning is leaving many homeless

« on: November 12, 2010, 11:31:42 PM »

Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth's temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. A warmer Earth may lead to changes in rainfall level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans.

The main characteristics of climate change are:
•increases average global temperature global (in (warming);
•changes in cloud cover and precipitation particularly over land;
•melting of ice caps and glaciers and reduced snow cover and
•increases in ocean temperatures and ocean acidity –due to seawater absorbing heat and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

As for an example, let's see .....Sidr damage to our economy:

Total damage including indirect loss: $1.67 billion
of which:
Housing damage and loss: $839 million (50%)
Agricultural damage and loss: $438 million (26%)
Transport -related damage and loss: $141 million (8.4%)
Water resource  control related damage and loss:$71 million (4.3%)
Education infrastructure related damage and loss: $ 69million
Other sectors: 7.3 %
