Chapter 19

After she, arrived, she set up her laptop and connected it on the projector where it is connected both to the flat screen monitor mounted on the wall and all the tablets mounted on our desks. Half of the wall is designated for the flat screen monitor while the half is for the whiteboard where we use for the actual teaching. The tablets mounted on our desks can automatically save all the files that had been shown on the screen monitor.

The tablets can be used by the students to login in the account before the class starts. You can also use a biometrics specifically your thumb prints to automatically login in the tab, by putting your thumb in the biometrics pad and hold for five seconds.

All the students have our own profile where we can log in anywhere at any time, it is connected to all the subjects, which will show all the tasks and assignments. Even all the lessons for the later date were also saved in every profile so we can do an advance study, we can also use the profile to do all the homework and submit it using the account.

It also has a calendar which can show all the incoming tasks with its submission dates. We can also connect with our classmates and professors through the Live Collaboration Menu if we have to miss the class for a valid reason. We also have the Off Collaboration Menu where we can watch the recorded classes on certain dates and topics if we want to listen again with the discussed lessons in the classroom.

We also have a chat group where all the students and the professor of the subjects can connect with each other and talk about important things that are related to the lessons. We also have a notice board menu per subject where the professor can give an announcement, agendas and the likes in the account. Each of the subjects have their own stated menus so it won't be messy and would be easy to navigate.

The personal informations like name, age, address, phone number, email address and the like of each of your classmates and professors will also be seen in the contacts list per subject. There is also a resources menu where all the digital version of the book you used in your subject would be seen in the account so you don't need to bring book around and you can just follow the manual discussion using the digital version of the book.

We are also not required to write notes, it just all depends on the student if they want to or not. I personally love taking notes to serve as my key notes if I need to review and revise for quizzes and major exams. I wrote a summarize, acronyms and key words about the topics we discussed.

I love to read books especially novels with genres: rom-com, comedy, sci-fiction and mystery. However, with the busy schedule I have right now, I don't have time to read a whole book just to review and revise for the lessons. It would take me a day or two to finish reading the academic book and I don't have the luxury to do it. As that day can be spend on reading, reviewing and revising business proposals instead of wasting reading a whole book when I can read in a short time and easy way using the key notes I have written.

After five minutes of setting up, our professor spoke as a sign that the class would begin,

" Okay good morning students, our main topic for today is all about 'Initiating the Marketing Process' " she paused and continued by saying

" In this main topic, we have five subtopics to be discuss for this week. For today's topic would be ' Creating Customer Value, Relationships and Experiences Through Marketing "

" Anybody who can define marketing using your own words? Just raise your right hand if you want to answer"

I raised my hand and answered " Good morning teacher, for me marketing is a process used to advertise, develop and sell the product in an easier way and uses a properly developed marketing plan. It is one of minor assets needed in a business to properly market your products in the marketplace. Although marketing is a very common word related to business, we still have many misconceptions about marketing especially the beliefs from a non-business people. We commonly believes that marketing is an advertising, selling and common sense of business but it is far more than it really is."

" Hmmm possible, anyone else? " she nodded and continued " although your definition is somewhat similar, you have the idea of what is really marketing and you know about the misconceptions related to it so I will give you seven points for that " she grab her tablet and made some clicks for a minute or so, she put it down again and I heard a notification ringtone from my tablet.

I took the tablet and check the notification tab, it says " Your marketing professor had rewarded you 7 points and it is added to your class participation reward points " After checking I gave my thanks to my prof.

I think I forgot to tell you that all the students have a chance to earn reward points from their professors and the points to be given will depend on the standard of their professors and based on their performances. We can accumulate points from class participation and class attendance ( 5 points will be rewarded if you don't have absences at the end of the week, additional 10 points if you don't have absences in the whole month and additional 100 points if you don't have absences in the whole year for all your subjects ).

We can also accumulate points based on our performances in assignments, essays, projects, quizzes and major exams. The possible ways to earn reward points were divided into different categories: class participation, class attendance, class performances, extracurricular activities, behaviour, social interaction and hidden tasks.

In behaviours and social interaction categories, both the school staffs (from lower level to higher level of employees) and your fellow students can reward you a reward point, their category names speak for itself so I don't think I need to explain further for their rules right? Student can also do some sharing of points, it depends on your "friendship" or the relationship of the students involved in sharing, but I bet it will only happen in very rare occasion.

We treasures every pieces of rewards points because the more we earn the more chances we can redeem it for something that we need in the future. We can only redeem once per term so the more we earn the better. It is our choice to redeem every term or every end of the school year or at the day before graduation. It won't expire until we graduate anyway so I really don't have plan to redeem my plans unless I really need to. As much as possible, I would save it until the day before graduation so I can redeem a request or a favor to the chairman, my dad * evil smirk *.
