Ziad (SQU) Got appointed in KFUPM Saudi Arabia) Science Students Advising (2004 – To date) Advising to students at SQU about academic matters is an integral part of university teaching and learning. In the College of Science, the advising is done primarily for pre major students. This involves a great effort because students are spread over different disciplines in the College. I have been advising around 70 pre-major students of College of Science. All curriculum, timetabling and choice of courses related advising and help to the students has been my responsibility. I believe I have performed my advising duties to great benefit of the students. Coordination of Courses Teaching management has a great significance in the quality teaching and learning. It becomes more important and effective in case of multi-section courses. My main contribution has been coordination of senior level courses as well as multi-section courses having large student registration. I coordinated MATH6011: Topics in Mathematical Methods, MATH5574: Transform Methods, MATH6013: Theory of Ordinary Equations (three times), MATH4474: Introduction to Partial Differential Equations (five times), MATH4174: Differential Equations and Applications for Engineers (eight times) and MATH3171: Linear Algebra and Multivariate Calculus for Engineers (three times). As a coordinator of multi-section courses (MATH4174 and MATH3171): I had to manage courses of more than 300 registrations. The main duties in this capacity were: (i) preparing the course outline; (ii) organizing course team meetings; (iii) conducting exams in collaboration with course team; (iv) preparing the final results. My coordination went very well. The colleagues as well as students appreciated my efforts. I believe the performance of students in these courses has improved during my coordination. I have employed the conventional teaching as well as IT enabled services through MOODLE
