MIS 309 Management Information Systems II – Grading

 

Grading breakdown

3 Tests over Laudon text

45%

2 Excel Tests (over Shelly / Cashman)

30%

Comprehensive Final

15%

Other (Homework, quizzes, attendance, etc.)

10%

 

Unexcused absences from tests result in a 0% = for the missed event! 

Excused absences= must be arranged prior to missing the= exam, in other words, coordinate with me on your absence prior to the exam or e= lse it will be an unexcused absence.  Any excused absence will be made up via the comprehensive final= , e.g. if you miss an exam, the final will be worth 30% of your grade. 

 

All letter grades are assigned using a 90/80/70/60 per = cent scale.

 

MIS 309 Management Information Systems II – Homework & Attendance

I expect the majority o= f the Excel learning to be accomplishe= d by the student using the self-guided and extremely detailed Shelly Cashm= an textbook. 

 

Only certain homework= is to be submitted to the instructor for grading.  However, you should complete all homework assignments in preparation for the tests.  = When I assign the homework in class, I will tell you if you are to turn it in to= me.

 

Attendance is taken daily by following the link from my home page (see above).  Please consistently use your fir= st and last name as it is listed in the class roster.

Tips for getting good grad= es: 

(1)  Prior to the lecture, go to the St= udent link for the 8th edition at the Prentice Hall website www.prenhall.com/laudon and dow= nload the appropriate power point lecture.  Print the hand-outs version= of the lecture at 4 or 6 pages per slide (pure black & white), review these, then go to the book for more detail on slides you do not understand.  Take notes on the slides, bring them to class and compare them to the info I present, asking appropriate questions.  The te= sts will have questions from both the book and my lectures – my lectures = are modified versions of the posted lectures.

 

(2)  Do the Excel homework and compare i= t to the solutions I post.  You wil= l be tested on the concepts present= ed in the homework.

 

(3)  Attend class regularly, keep your = mind active, ask appropriate questions and sit near the front of the class.  Do not play games on the internet = or otherwise inappropriately offend and/or distract your classmates.
