1. Introduction

At the time of completing our BUS 201 course, we have found a

great opportunity to make report on such type of problem which

is related to communication. We are very much pleased to Md.

Mustafizur Rahman for giving us such types of practical task.

As the problem sufferers are our friends or classmates, we are

very much enthused to do such type of job including experiment

with them.

1.1 Background Information

IUBAT is an international university. The medium of

communication is English here. The University also follows the

curriculums which are similar to that of North American

universities. As a result, students have to take part in

presentation, assignment and some others tasks regularly.

Besides, in university level student learns about the whole

world. This means, the whole world is their syllabus.

Let’s think about the internet which is the most auspicious source that provides information about the whole world. IUBAT provides computer lab facility and open internet for all the students.

1.2 Problems studied

As assignment, presentation and such kind of tasks are very

much related to internet and they have the access to internet,

it is expected that university students are skilled enough to

gather and assemble information from internet. Additionally,

1

they have the knowledge to search exactly what they require

(searching with Google/yahoo). But, unfortunately most of the

students of IUBAT do not have efficiency on gathering and

assembling information from internet and few do not have

enough idea about these even about how to Google.

Picture 1(see in the appendix)

This picture is collected from a presentation slide made by

few IUBAT students. Here the tex in the diagram are vague.

Because, they could not manage the proper picture.

Picture 2(see in the appendix)

Here the given diagram they used is irrelevant to the context.

1.3 Classification of problem

If you want to find the root of these problems, knowing the

category of these problems may help you. Internet is

considered not only a technology but also a part and parcel of

modern communication (mailing, chatting and sharing).

Consequently, skill of using internet is a communication skill

and deficiency or barriers in using internet equals to

communication gap. So, internet is all about a sector of

communication and that type of problem is communication

problem.

1.4 Specification of the problem

2

Now, the question is why the common students of IUBAT are not

capable of doing good communication in internet and how the

situation can be overcome. That’s what we will to answer in

this entire report.

1.5 Objectives of the Report

The first objective of the report to figure out what are the

real reasons what causes the deficiency in internet

communication of the common students of IUABT. The final

objective is to find some logical solution through systematic

reporting method to improve the situation. We strongly

believe, the majority of the problem will be solved, if our

suggestion is applied.

2. Review of the Report

3

At the time of completing our BUS 201 course, we have found a

great opportunity to make report on such type of problem which

is related to communication. This report is a perquisite task

of the course. The report is made only for academic purpose

not for business purpose. As far as we know, the topic of this

report is unique. No other group has done their report on

this phenomenon.

2.1 Experts’ view in the respective field

This study investigated the attitude of private university

students in Bangladesh towards internet. Results from the

study indicated that students had positive attitudes toward

using the Internet as a learning tool, adequate basic

knowledge of the Internet, viewed Internet is a fastest way to

reach knowledge, and Internet has a potential to be an

effective training tool. The results also revealed that the

students exhibited positive attitudes toward the Internet

irrespective of gender, again in contradiction to most other

findings. Possible reasons and the implications of these

findings will be elaborated and discussed.

towards Internet: A study on Private Universities of

For Bangladesh, the priority should be to facilitate Internet

access to academic institutions and to the intellectual

communities. Also, private users should be more encouraged to

create their own access to online Internet. Having an Internet

account is the primary thing, but not all. The main issue is

to use the Internet for productive purposes and for real

benefits. But there are many barriers to the increase in the

use of the computer and the Internet. Service charges by the

providers are still not low enough to create greater

incentives for users. Government policies are not yet fully

conducive to rapid increase in Internet use as the

telecommunication system, along with supporting

infrastructures, remains undeveloped. Last but not the least,

the potential clients are handicapped by their low purchasing

power. All of these problems will have to be addressed to make

Internet use popular and widespread.

Management,” January 25, 2010, http://bangladesh-ict-

news.bauani.org/2010/01/improving-internet-access-in-

bangladesh.html

A more congenial and rational government policy may improve

the whole scenario tremendously. A democratically elected

government should not be governed by sacrificing the future of

its people for immediate benefits. There is no reason for the

BTTB to impose high costs on private VSAT use. The current

charge of US $8,625 per provider per month can easily be

reduced to at least US $1,000. This will encourage more5

providers and will ensure healthy competition between them,

ultimately reducing the online charge and improving service

quality. Rapid privatization of the telecommunication sector

may remarkably enhance the speed of renovations through open-

market competition. A national unity between the ruling party

and the opposition is essential on this vital issue in order

to resist workers' unrest. Unless more competitors, more

investments, and more innovations are encouraged in the field,

only government effort will bring proportionate value for

money in this sector. National newspapers may play a key role

in creating such unity. Buying power of potential clients will

not immediately increase, but government may introduce

lucrative consumer loan policies and may reduce taxes on

computers and accessories to enable people to have their own

PCs.

2.2 Criticism in the context of IUBAT and the present

situation

In these reviews experts convicted the high price of internet

utility and the unavailability of the technology as the roots

of such type of problem. But in case of IUBAT there are not

applicable. Because, internet is very much available and fair

priced now.

2.3 Theoretical framework

The framework of the research with variables is given below.

Independent variable:

1. Sample students2. Training class3. Test’s result before training class

2.4 Hypothesis Formulation

From our data analysis we have predicted that the ignorance of

efficient internet utilization is the ultimate reason for the

problem. We assume that, if IUBAT includes the study of proper

internet utilization in their education curriculum, the

problem will be solved. Based on this solution, we form two

hypotheses. The hypothesis, Ho= “Including the course on the

study of utilizing internet efficiently will not solve

problem”. The other hypothesis, H=“Including the course on the

study of utilizing internet efficiently will solve problem”.

2.5 Structure interviews

We arranged Structure interviews. We made a questionnaire with

some multiple choice question and close-end questions to

collect data. An example of the questions is given below-

What is internet from your view point?

A. It’s the access to the virtual world

B. It’s a source of knowledge

C. Nothing

3. Research Design

We have tried our best to design our research in the simplest

way. The various characteristics of the design of the research

are mentioned and explained below.

3.1 Type and nature of study

We have used both the types of the types of qualitative and

quantitative question in the questionnaire.

An example of qualitative questions is given below-

9

Do you have access to internet in your home?

o Yes

o No

An example of quantitative questions is given below-

When did you open your mail address for the last

time?

A. Within this day

B. Within this week

C. Within this month

D. Before more than a month

3.2 Sample design

First we select summarize a list of twenty students from

different departments of IUBAT. We focused on the engineering

student who are not so good in net-surfing and do not have

enough idea about internet-features. Finally, we selected 160

students randomly as our sample for the research.

3.3 Data collection method

For the purpose of this report we have collect both of primary

and secondary data. We collected primary data from our sample

students through questionnaire. We collected secondary data

from websites when it was necessary.

3.4 Data analysis techniques use

10

We have used Microsoft Excel program for our data analysis.

Besides, we have used T-test (see in appendix), which is a

statistical method to justify the effectiveness of any event

on a sample group. By this strategy we could ensure the

validity of our suggested solution.

11

4. Outcome of the Report

We are really happy that, finally we have found the outcome of

the report. Through t-test we proved that H=“Including the

course on the study of utilizing internet efficiently will

solve problem” is true. Below, we will explain the discussion

of the solution with data, conclusion, our limitation and the

suggestion for the future reporter.

4.1 Discussion with data interpretation

We have taken 160 sample students for the second solutionjustification. Altogether we arranged 4 classes. The rate ofstudents being present is 87%. Their final test was also verymuch satisfactory.

4.2 Conclusion

Definitely, it is a great opportunity for us to a academic

task which is very much related to real professional job. It

must be informed that we very much glad to the students who

took part in the cooperation in making this report, especially

who worked as sample students. We are also so pleased to

honorable faculty Md. Mustafizur Rahman for giving us this

precious instructions what made this report more efficient.

We truly believe we have learnt many things through this

project what is a power asset in our future life.

12

4.3 Limitation

After all of our enthusiasm and efforts such things happen

which are really unexpected. At the time of completing this

report, there was a political instability in the country. For

that reason we could not manage as much as classes on internet

communication for our sample students as we wanted. So, the

political instability slightly affected our research.

4.4 Suggestion for the future reporter

We hope if we could manage more sample students that would

more strengthen our suggested solution. So, reporters should

care about this matter.
