TIS-02-2023

As a primer subject, this course will introduce students to information systems and technology (IS/IT) and its uses at home and work. Various aspects of IS/IT encompassing hardware, software, network and communications will be introduced. Students will be equipped with basic skills in handling PC installation and productivity tools via practical work in the labs, which shall comprise a major part of the study. This class also conducts industry visits and talks as a part of work-based learning. Both industry visits and talks will expose students to a real working environment, get knowledge from the industry and increase engagement between university and industry. The student also needs to briefly explore the requirements and job specifications for a career in IT.

Certainly, I'll continue from where we left off:

CLO	CLO Description	PLO	MQF Cluster Code	Taxonomies and Generic Skills	Teaching & Learning Methods	Assessment Methods
CLO1	To explain computer hardware and the use of computer software	PLO1	C1	Lecture, active learning, Lab work, Industry Talk, Industry Visit	Assignment, Test, Lab, Industry Talk, Industry Visit
CLO2	To differentiate different types of information systems	PLO6	C2	Lecture, active learning, Industry Talk	Assignment, Test
CLO3	To identify the requirements and job specification for a career in IT	PLO9	C5	Lecture, active learning, Lab work, Industry Talk, Industry Visit	Assignment, Industry Talk

In this table, you can see how each Course Learning Outcome (CLO) corresponds to a Program Learning Outcome (PLO), the associated MQF Cluster Code, the applicable taxonomies and generic skills, teaching and learning methods, and assessment methods for each CLO. This format provides a clear overview of the course objectives and how they align with program objectives, teaching strategies, and evaluation methods.
