Dear all,

Students of the PG-February 2024 Intake at Global College Malta had an Orientation Session on February 21^st from 10 a.m. to 12. p.m. It was a valuable and informative experience for the new students. They got a warm welcome from Ms. Sandra Formosa and other college staff, and then they had an informative orientation class with Dr. Pradeepa Prathapan Nair, in which the main areas were the importance of attendance policy, college policies, and guidelines, malpractice policy, the importance of hygiene in college, etc.

Some key points of the PowerPoint presentation and the main points covered are:

1. What GCM is (that it is a management school, has 400 international students, and is in Smart City)
2. Importance of Outlook and Moodle.
3. How to upload the assignment on Moodle.
4. Discussed about an assignment brief and what it looked like.
5. Awareness of Turnitin and the Plagiarism Similarity Report.
6. The importance of references (Harward Referencing) in assignments.
7. Introduction of Perlego, EBSCO etc
8. Introduction to College Website Updates (News Section).

All in all, the new students found the session to be educational, and it concluded with the students receiving some refreshments and beverages.
