Corporate Connect of SKYLINE College Groups
Corporate Connect SKYLINE students participate in on campus and off campus events regularly. Though every course is highly intensive, equal stress is laid on industry interface and exposure to contemporary and future poticies, growth and emerging concerns and issues.
Ten students of SKYLINE got an opportunity to attend the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) HRM Summit 2009 on 11 September 2009 at Hotel Crowne Plaza, Gurgaon. The Theme for this year is “Looking into the Future : HR’s next 5 years Agenda”. |
Students and faculty keep themselves updated with major Industry events some of which are shown below. Industry visits enhance their understanding of modern infrastucture and manufacturing process.
Relevance of Academic Information & Grading Policy
A student’s final course grade will be determined by consideration of the following factors:
-
Attendance: 75% attendance is compulsory for all courses. This facilitates interaction with the instructor and fellow students as the highest level of learning is achieved by this method. Students who do not have the requisite 75% attendance in each paper are barred from the final examination of that unit.
-
Reading: Every student is expected to have thoroughly read and reviewed all reading assignments from the required text or other reference material.
-
Discussion: Students must participate in regular classroom discussions as concepts are cleared and fresh perspectives are formed.
-
Testing and Writing Projects: Students will complete online tests for online courses and case studies for offline courses.
-
Assignments: Students complete group and individual assignments for the course. Group projects inculcate team spirit.
-
Seminars: Students are expected to attend maximum number of seminars by guest faculty, weekly quizzes, as well as seminars conducted outside where SKYLINE students are sent.
Attendance in external seminars leads to bonus points. All of these methods help students in maximising their learning, particularly as they are able to see direct linkages between theory and practice
