Cour Course se De Descript script scriptio io ion: n: This course introduces students to the skills and knowledge necessary to make full use of the information systems around you. The course demystifies information system technology and provides you with insight into how businesses use information systems to create value. The course also introduces you to the management and ethical issues surrounding the use of information systems. We accomplish this in three ways: 1. Explaining the essence of information systems in the context of business 2. Discussing how information systems can be used to create and sustain competitive advantage 3. Providing hands on training in personal productivity tools. This course assumes no specific or prior computing or technical knowledge.

Onlin Online e Quiz Quizzes: zes: There will be 10 weekly quizzes administered via Canvas. Quizzes are based on the assigned reading. Each Quiz is due at 3:00 pm on lecture days.

Ind Individu ividu ividual al Ass Assignmen ignmen ignmentts The individual assignments are separated into two categories: traditional assignments noted as Assignments 1, 2, and Individual Presentation, and online simulation assignments noted as MyLab MIS assignments. Assignments 1 and 2 are designed to apply and practice knowledge and skills introduced during lectures and tutorials. Students are expected to apply significant effort into these assignments to achieve high results. Details about each assignment will be discussed during tutorials. MyLab MIS assignments are simulation-based activities that help students learn and apply advanced Microsoft Office functionalities for three of the main office applications. These are MS Word, MS Excel, and MS Access. The assignments will need to be completed online before the due date. Students will require a MyLab MIS code to register and complete the simulation. The code is provided by the textbook publisher with a new textbook or can be purchased separately.

MyLab MIS assignments Note 1: Make sure you enter your student ID (How-to instructions are on Canvas). The student ID will be used to import your marks into Canvas at the end of the semester. If you don’t, you may lose your marks. Note 2: Make sure you click SUBMIT in order to receive marks for your work.

Grou Group pA Assig ssig ssign nmen mentt The group assignment is designed to provide students with the opportunity to learn about an Information System topic of their choice while working in a small team environment. A short report and a team presentation will conclude the assignment.

Important Note: -

Late assignments will NOT be accepted for any reason. Canvas will automatically stop accepting submissions at the deadline. Students will receive zero on non-submissions.

-

Students are expected to work independently on assignments, therefore, TAs have been instructed to award a maximum grade of negative 150% (-150%) of the assignment’s value to students whose submissions suggest that they collaborated with others on their assignments (report and supporting files) or is not their work at all (ie, produced by a hired gun).
