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. Lab assignments are due at the beginning of class. Lab assignments handed in late will receive a 10% point reduction per class late.
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.
Class Power Point Slides: To print the class PowerPoint slides, go to the Pilot web site, http://pilot.wright.edu. Log in using
your
Cases/Homework: Individual and in-class group cases will be assigned. For the individual cases, read the case and answer the questions. The individual cases will be cases at the end of the chapters in the book. Typed answers are required.
· For the in-class cases, you must attend to receive credit. They will be done in groups and handed-in during class. Additional cases may be added during the quarter.
This will make up 15% of your grade. Late homework will have a 10% penalty per class period late.
Exams:
Materials included in the exams will be taken from the text and class
lecture/discussions. Exams will be administered on the dates scheduled. Please
note these dates on the class schedule sheet. Students are not permitted to
retain these exams. The tests will be multiple choice and essay. The multiple
choice portion will be done first using Pilot and must be completed before you
are given the essay portion. Once you
are done with the multiple choice, log off the
computer and indicate you are ready for the essays. Each midterm is worth 20% of your grade and
the final is worth 20% of your grade.
Requirements, Grading and Policies
Successful completion of the lab requires regular attendance, reading lessons before each class session and completion of weekly assignments. Labs will be during the Thursday class meeting. In class we will be covering a sample similar to the case you will be doing for homework. The homework will be due the following Thursday at the beginning of class. All homework handed in after the beginning of class is subject to a point reduction. For all but the last Access and Dreamweaver labs, you will turn in printed results of what you have done to be graded.
The lab portion of MIS 300 will comprise 25% of the total MIS 300 course grade. Students must pass the lab portion of MIS 300 at a 70% (175 points or more) level to pass the MIS 300 lecture course!
