Posted on Friday, April 21, 2017
On Friday, 21st April 2017, with just over 2 weeks to go for the May Exams, the Middle East Chapter of the Institute organized an exam focused revision session (PREP) to assist the students with their upcoming exams. The Branch also invited students of the Institute of Management Technology who are pursuing an MBA in Shipping and Logistics to enhance their preparation. The aim of PREP was to help students first and foremost with the correct interpretation of exam questions, and second with the planning and presentation their answers.
The day started with a mock exam, and all 16 subjects were available so as to provide students with the full variety of options. Over the course of the day, there were revisions in various subjects and also one to one sessions with tutors were made available to students to help discussing possible answers to various exam questions. The program also included an after lunch "tips & technique" session with two members of the Middle east branch, Mr Rajashekhara MICS and Mr Ali Canani FICS who have both been Institute prize winners in the recent past.
In addition to our branch tutors, several members took up the invitation of our education team and attended the event to assist students in their preparation. Some of them took up mentoring roles with the students as well.
The day ended on a positive vibe for everybody involved - students feeling more confident and tutors feeling the euphoria of student empowerment. All in all, it was a great day of learning for both tutors and students.
Several pictures and videos of the day are available on our FaceBook page for all viewers.
