DESCRIPTION OF COURSE:
An applications course which builds on the concepts and techniques developed in MIS-307 to enable students to design and implement systems in "real-world" organizations. Prerequisite: MIS-307, MIS-309,  or consent of instructor.

MAJOR OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE:

The purpose of this course is to allow the student to:


TEACHING METHOD: MAKE-UP EXAMS:: ASSIGNMENTS: INCOMPLETE GRADES: STANDARDS OF HONESTY: CLASS ATTENDANCE: COMPUTER LABORATORY ACTIVITIES: GRADES AND ASSIGNMENTS:
SEMESTER GRADING:
 
Midterm One 10%
Midterm Two 10%
Midterm Three 10%
Homework 10%
Projects 15%
Final (comprehensive)  45%

 


Project Grading:
 
Project One 20%
Project Two 20%
Project Three 60%

Project Mastery Requirement: Your semester letter grade will not be allowed to exceed the letter grade you earn from the projects. For instance, if you earn a final grade of "B" on your projects, that will be the maximum letter grade that you can receive for the semester.


Homework assignments will be given periodically throughout the semester. The purpose of the homework is to give the student an opportunity to apply the concepts from the readings and to help the student prepare for the exams. homework assignment grades will be either satisfactory (100 points) or unsatisfactory (0 points), less any late penalties.

Note: these videos are currently working on campus.
Some difficulties have been reported with off-campus access; 
the primary source of difficulty has been traced
to the version of RealPlayer that may be installed.  If you
are having problems, please be sure that you have
the latest version (version 8) of the RealPlayer
installed on your computer.



Because we are doing a great deal of object-oriented programming, you may want to take a look at the following tools for documentation purposes.  We will also be using the Microsoft Enterprise Modeler program that is a part of the Visual Studio.
