LECTURE: Laudon,
Kenneth C.and Jane P.; Essentials
of Business Information Systems; 7th Edition.
Prentice-Hall, 2007 (ISBN: 0-13-227781-6)
LAB: O'Leary, Timothy and Linda;
Microsoft Access 2003, Introductory
Edition (ISBN: 0-07-283559-1), McGraw-Hill;
2004; Shelly/
Cashman/ Mick, Microsoft FrontPage 2003: Introductory Concepts and
Techniques (ISBN: 0-619-25523-4 or 0-619-20045-6); Course Technology,
2004.
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. 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
FrontPage and a 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.
Class Power Point Slides: To print the class Powerpoint slides, go to the WebCT web site, http://wisdom.wright.edu/ Log in using your Wright State email username and password. Select the desired course. Select the slides folder, the chapter you wish to see or print. To print, select Open, the OK. ( NOTE: If have difficulty opening, save to disk and then open the saved file and print from it.) Once file displaying, to print, select: File, Print, Handout, 3, 4, or 6 per page, OK.
Cases:Homework/In class: Individual and in-class group cases will be assigned. For the individual cases, read the case and answer the questions. Some of the individual cases will be cases at the end of the chapters in the book. The Dirt Bikes USA case will be used for homework, lab and for some in-class group work also. It can be found on the www.prenhall.com/laudon website. Click on Companion web site, Chapter 1 (top), Running Case Study (left margin). Please TYPE homework. 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. Case work not related to Access or FrontPage will make up 20% of your grade. Late homework will have a 10% penalty per class period late. Once graded assignments are returned, NO late homework is accepted.
Exams: Materials included in the exams will be taken from the text, article reviews 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 average of the three exams will comprise 55% of your grade. Unannounced quizzes may be given during the quarter. They will be counted as part of the exam grade. No make-up quizzes will be given.

Lab
Attendance
Lab
attendance is very crucial! Labs may be subject to last minute
changes which you will not be aware of unless you attend lab. Any
questions about the assignments that may arise can be answered during the
lab. If you do not attend you will not benefit from the help and advice of
your lab instructors.
During the Lab we will cover
a case similar to what you will do for homework. We will cover examples
NOT covered in the text but which relate to the homework or exam. You are
expected to do these examples with your instructor and NOT work on
homework. During the in-class exercises, key points and problems areas
which relate to the homework will be pointed out and discussed. Sometimes
there will be extra time to begin your homework at the end of lecture.
However, in most cases, additional time outside of lab time will be needed to
finish the homework. You can get a copy of both Access and FrontPage in
the library for a nominal fee. If you have a home computer, it is
recommended you do this although, many labs on campus have both of these
applications available.
Testing: All Lab exams will be done on lab computers not
personal PCs.
Late Work Policy Assignments are due at the beginning of class. Do not expect to come to class and finish or print the assignment due that day. Once class has begun, if you have not handed your assignment to the instructor, the assignment is late and points will be deducted. Late assignments need to be turned in at the MIS Department Office (271 Rike). Please do not slide it under my office door as it could get lost.
Assignments will be accepted late, but will be subjected to a 10% penalty each day it is late. Instructors reserve the right to use their own discretion regarding late assignments.
If changes are made, the student will be advised during class.
POLICIES:
Testing: Examinations are expected to be taken at the
times scheduled, and make-up work will be permitted only for the following
reasons:
1) Death of an immediate family
member.
2) Personal
illness requiring attention by physician.
3) Illness of an immediate family
requiring your personal attention.
4) Military TDY.
5) Travel out-of-town required by
your employer.
6)
An emergency and/or situation at the discretion of the
instructor.
Attendance: Regular class attendance is
expected. If a student misses class, the student is responsible for obtaining
class notes from another student.
Case Study homework
handed in late will receive a 10% point reduction per class late.
Policy Revision: I will reserve the right to make changes to the
syllabus or to the above stated procedures if deemed appropriate. If
changes are made, the student will be advised as part of the in-class lecture.
