METHODOLOGY: A theoretical framework for implementation of information systems will be provided through reading and discussing the text. In general, the lecture will follow the course outline and the text presentation. The instructor will utilize additional information, as required, to supplement the text.
Discussions will include the impact computers have on business and society and how the use of computers to store vast amounts of data can be a threat to individual privacy and a stimulus for illegal and unethical use.
Systems design will be introduced to the student by the use of exercises in designing a web page using Dreamweaver and simple information system using the Access database software. These assignments will also be part of the MIS300 Lab. You must pass the lab to pass the class.
Assignments: Text material and topics are assigned on the attached schedule. It is assumed the student has read the assignment prior to class and will use the lecture to clarify difficult materials. Questions and other material at the end of the assigned chapters are assumed to be included in the readings. Any changes to the schedule and homework assignments will be given in class. If you must miss class for any reason, it is your responsibility to get the notes and find out what you missed.
