Disks: USB Drive

Please n= ote: Loss of an assignment due to USB drive problems will not be accepted as an excuse for a work being submitted late. It is strongly recommended each student make backup copies of all work to ensure projects are not lost due to the inability to read the USB.

Projects and assignment= s may be submitted electronically via email if the student chooses. Students must keep a copy of everything= sent in the event it gets lost in cyberspace. This does not relieve the student of responsibility as outlined in t= he paragraph above.

Objectives

At the conc= lusion of this course, the student should be able:

·&nb= sp; Define an information system and describe its components and characteristics

·&nb= sp; Describe the strategic planning process, and= why it is important to IT managers

·&nb= sp; Explain when and how to use fact-finding techniques, including interviews, documentation

review, observation, questionnaires, sampling, and research

·&nb= sp; Describe data and process modeling concepts = and tools (Visio)

Instructional Procedure

This course is taught through a series of lectur= es and a team final project. The stud= ent is responsible for the material in the reading assignments whether or not it is discussed further in class. The st= udent must complete all classroom and laboratory assignments for this course. Work outside regularly scheduled lab pe= riods will be necessary. In order to rec= eive maximum benefit, students should review text materials prior to class. Room 2414 is designated as the Business Division open lab with hours maintained outside regularly scheduled lab periods. If the student does not h= ave access to a computer and the correct software, he/she is urged to use the o= pen lab. Please see schedule of open h= ours for the lab posted outside the open lab door.

Grading System

The final grade is determined as follows:<= /span>	Letter grades will be assigned as follows:=
30%	Tests	90-100	A
20%	Homework/In-class Assignments	80-89	B<= /p>
25%	Peer Evaluation of Final Project	70-79	C<= /p>
25%	Final Team Project	60-69	D<= /p>
	0-59	F<= /p>

All work submitted for grading must include a cover = page with the student name, date submitted, the assignment number and page in text. Each page of the homework assignment must be identified with the step # from the assigned case and the student's name typed onto the page. Any steps that require a written answer can be noted on one of the other printed homework pages as long as it is identified with the step number. All work should be stapled together with the cover page on top and all subsequent pa= ges in step order.

Late hom= ework assignments will be penalized 15-points per class meeting. Once an assignment has been returned to the class, late work will no= t be accepted.

Discussion of assignments/projects with other students is acceptable once an individual h= as made an independent effort. If the instructor observes students collaborating on an assignments/project, he/she may request to see evidence of independent effort from those collaborating. All work submitted = for grading is expected to be the student’s own work. If it becomes evident the solution to a problem is not an original effort; the faculty member is obligated to notify the Honor Council.

&n= bsp;

Any student who uses a= ny computer at CVCC is assumed to have read and subscribes to the Computer Eth= ics Agreement posted in every computer lab on campus. Please take the time to read, understan= d, and adhere to the guidelines in this document.

Attendance<= /span>

Students are expected t= o attend all classes for each course in which he/she is enrolled. Occasionally, it is unavoidable that a student misses a class. In such a = case, the student must notify the instructor prior to such absence, if possible.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> It is the sole responsibility of the st= udent to find out what assignments are missed and to make arrangements to makeup = the missed work. Missing more than 20%= of scheduled classes will result in the instructor dropping the student from t= he class with a failing grade.

PLEASE NOTE: Make-up tests are given at = the discretion of the instructor and will not be given for absences in which the student has not conferred with the instructor before the absence. The student not arranging a makeup test= will receive a zero (0) for that test. = If a makeup test is granted, it must be taken prior to the instructor handing ba= ck the graded test.

Additional Information

At times, materials pre= sented in the lab or class will be other than that found in the text. The student is responsible for all mate= rial covered in the class lectures and labs. Should an absence be unavoidable, the student should obtain as much information as possible through his/her own initiative and consultation with other students. Once the student has obtained missed notes and has read the covered material in the texts, the instructor will be available to clarify concepts. The instructor’s schedule for Spring office hours is posted outsi= de her office and on the web site.

Course Schedule

Classes will be completed according to the outline, as much as possible. Exact topics may vary depending on ques= tions and general progress of the class. Classroom participation is expected and encouraged. The instructor can only assume everythi= ng is understood if no one has questions. Lecture and lab will be informal and unannounced quizzes may be give= n if the instructor does not get sufficient feedback for the class.
