The Baisan Institute of Hospitality Management (BIHM) has signed Agreement with the Educational Institute of the American Hotel & Lodging Association (EI-AH&LA), Orlando, USA for translation of the courseware in Arabic.

The objective of translating the courseware is to make available quality teaching material developed by the I-AH&LA to the entire Arabic-speaking world especially in he MENA region.

Needless to say that the hospitality and tourism industry in the MENA region has registered the highest growth rate in the world thereby creating employment opportunities in this sector. It will make business sense to train the jobseekers for employment in their vernacular language. It will not be out of place to mention that many international chains of hotels have already expressed their desire to use the Arabic text materials for training their own employees.

The salient feature of the proposal is that although the medium of instruction would be Arabic and the examination would be conducted in Arabic, the assessment/evaluation of the examination papers will be done by our Principals in America, who will also provide the certificates. Substantial budgetary resources have been earmarked for translation through a well reputed company approved by the EI-AH&LA. The EI-AH&LA would also monitor the quality of translation.

The BIHM would have worldwide right for translation, publication and distribution of the Arabic version of the EIAH& LA programs.

Type of Evaluation

At BIHM we have manifold evaluation process, which corroborates with our quality policy and which acts as a control mechanism in the delivery of our courses. There are two categories of evaluation procedures. First set is where the faculty evaluates the performance of the students and the Academic Head assesses the instructor. The second set of evaluation is done by the students in terms of the delivery of the instructor and the effectiveness of the course.

Evaluation of Students

Each of the students is evaluated through internal and external assessment methodologies. The external evaluation is done by the international certification body through written examinations. These examinations are conducted in each quarter with a duration of two and a half hours to three hours depending on the course. The answer scripts are assessed by them and the certificates are awarded by the certifying bodies. In addition to this, internal assessments are also done by GTS faculties, which mainly includes progress tests and end of the course exams. This assessment pattern may vary slightly depending on the nature of the course, that is whether it is a purely academic programme or a vocational course.

Evaluation of the conduct of course by students

The students evaluates approximately 2 classes per course on the delivery mechanism of the faculty and its effectiveness on their learning outcomes. This feedback is analyzed by the instructor and reviewed by the Academic Head in the interest of improving instructional techniques. The instructor compiles the numeric results of the evaluation and the written comments which are evaluated and summarized by the Academic Head.

Instructor Evaluation

The Academic Head / Lead Instructor audits 10% of classes of each of the program to encourage the continuous professional development of instructors and to monitorcourse content and instructional techniques.

Each course instructor receives a minimum of 2 assessments per subject. The first assessment is scheduled and planned with the instructor. Its primary focus is on the professional development of the instructor. It is scheduled during normal lecture / practical periods. The second assessment is unannounced, and therefore, adds the additional element of control on course content and instructional techniques. When possible, it is scheduled to coincide with the beginning of a lesson. The assessments are reviewed with the instructor and follow-up items are detailed on the assessment form prior to filing.
