4 MISM 5306 DR. FLORES FALL Additional information as desired by the faculty member. General Information: This syllabus contains a general overview of the course only. Once you have read and understood everything contained in the syllabus, I will ask you to confirm with your signature. Your confirmation will also confirm that you understand and will adhere to the following statement: This class will adhere to zero tolerance for using someone else s work as your own. TURNING IN ASSIGNMENTS: I will provide direction. POLICY ON INCOMPLETES: Wayland's policy on giving grades of Incomplete in a course is outlined in the University's catalog. As a supplement to that catalog, my policy is to assign a one-letter-grade reduction upon removal of the Incomplete. The only exceptions to this are in the case of either documented absence from your home area because of occupational requirements which makes Internet access impossible, or documented severe illness. Claims of not having the time to finish, or mismanagement of that time will not be considered a valid excuse. There are 11 weeks in the term (not counting any breaks), giving you sufficient time to complete all requirements by the assigned due dates. My advice is to work ahead whenever possible in order to minimize the effects of unanticipated delays. CLASSROOM ACTIVITY: Please make sure to participate in the classroom. Your knowledge and experience is valued. Please ensure you keep a positive and professional demeanor at all times. LEARNING TEAM ASSIGNMENTS: It is expected that you will resolve the majority of team-related issues on your own. If you have situations where a team member is failing to do the work, please make sure to engage me. Please note that I will use a Peer Review analysis as part of the grading process. RESEARCH PROJECT: Your Learning Team research project has two parts: (1) Formal presentation to the class (2) Written portion submitted to me You will select a company, for-profit or non-profit, and conduct a comprehensive study of its information systems. Here are the components to consider, but there are more: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) (j) (k) (l) (m) Background of organization Clear problem statement How MIS fits into strategic policy SWOT Analysis Using IT as a competitive advantage Security issues Incorporate Project Management, Six Sigma, and Process Management (need charts, diagrams, etc.) Conduct a Cost/Benefit Analysis, ROI, or other financial evaluation Employee hiring, training, and development to meet IT challenges Global implications Recommendations Conclusion Extensive reference list minimum of 20 sources

5 MISM 5306 DR. FLORES FALL ASSIGNMENTS: Select one case study from five (5) different chapters and submit your responses to the questions. You will submit this assignment as ONE document to the placeholder I create in Blackboard. The assignment is due in Week 10. IMPORTANT NOTE: Internet references WILL NOT BE ACCEPTABLE in this course. ALL references will come from Professional Journal articles and will be derived from the WBU Online Library. EXAMINATIONS: There will be a Mid-Term and a Final Examination. Each will cover the material listed on the schedule. The final is comprehensive. The final exam consists of two parts: Essay and M-C. Please note that they are comprehensive; thus, you are allowed at least 3 hours for each portions. The exams are available on Blackboard. STUDY HABITS: Careful and timely reading and study as well as completion of all written assignments by the expected dates is critical to your success in this course. Text readings will normally coincide with coverage of the material in lessons. This will facilitate your active participation in class discussions. Please make sure to stay abreast with the readings. You will perform much better on the exam if you have a clear idea of the topics. MISCELLANEOUS: You are encouraged to be "entrepreneurial" in your approach to the class, in your assignments, and in your class presentations and interactions. Your observations or experiences, and how they might relate to the subject at hand, have the potential to enhance all of the class sessions. Please share those of value so that you may be a resource to all participants including me! You are also encouraged to employ the systems perspective and wear the "manager's hat" in relating to the issues so that you will be able to think about them critically from multiple dimensions. A NOTE ON DROPPING THE COURSE: If you drop the course, please let me know with an message. Very often I do not receive drop notices in a timely manner, and sometimes not at all. Please help me to keep the class roll up to date.
