Grade Exam 60% 5.5 Assignment 40% 5.5 Plagiarism The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines this as taking, using or passing off the thoughts, writings, inventions, etc. of another person as one s own. This is a very serious offence. It includes: 1. Handing in the same (or very similar) assignments as other past or present (teams of) students; 2. Copying text or ideas from books, the Internet, etc. without proper source citation; 3. Copying answers from other students during examinations; and 4. Allowing other students to copy your assignments or examination answers. Please ensure you use footnotes and a bibliography correctly to cite sources so that the lecturer can check which sources you used and how you used them. Please do not just copy large amounts of information from sources, even when you have used inverted commas e.g. text. Cases of fraud are treated very seriously. Lecturers and examination invigilators refer all cases to the Exam Board. Students who cheat or plagiarise from others or from Internet sources will receive a failing grade. 10 Course Material and Literature Title: Author(s): BOOK LIST (required) Management Information Systems Managing the Digital Firm Laudon & Laudon ISBN: Edition: 2014 Publisher: Pearson Education Title: Managing Information Systems Strategy and Organisation Author(s): Boddy, Boonstra & Kennedy ISBN: Title: Publisher: Architect Edition: Third Edition Publisher: Prentice Hall Software Package (recommended) Bizzdesigner (can be purchased via SURFspot but is available in the HU labs) 11 Evaluation Following completed course evaluation forms received in Week 7, the course will be re-assessed and the results will be used as input for any course improvements.
