Assessment Method Computer Lab Exams Computer Lab Exams YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS A STUDENT IN THIS CLASS: This class will require you to make a conscientious effort to study and learn the material presented, and to participate in class activities. As a student in this class, you are expected to: Study the assigned material before the class session (lecture or lab) that covers it. Check the class SharePoint site regularly for information and updates. Check your WWU student email account regularly for MIS 320 class-related messages. Attend lectures and lab sessions, and actively participate in the class and lab sessions. Ask questions about the material as needed to clarify your understanding of it. Be an effective team member, and fully collaborate with your team members. Complete all individual and team assignments in a timely manner. Follow directions and instructions about such matters as folder and file naming conventions exactly. Maintain personal integrity and academic honesty in all your work (See: WWU Academic
MIS 320 - Principles of Management Information Systems - Course Syllabus - Fall http://faculty.wwu.edu/auer/mis320/mis-320--40-dja.html Page 5 of 10 9/20/ Honesty). LECTURES: Lecture attendance is expected, and I lecture on material beyond that in the text. You are responsible for all material presented in lecture whether or not it is covered in your textbook. Similarly, you are responsible for all material assigned to be read in your textbooks whether or not it is covered in lecture. CLASS DATES: The dates in this outline may be changed as necessary, and I will state such changes in class. Any announcements made in class are considered to have been disseminated to the whole class. EXAMS AND GRADING: The Lab portion of the course constitutes 35% of your grade. The lecture sessions exams and team projects constitute 65% of your grade. The exams (midterm and final) constitute 32% and the team projects make up the remaining 33% of your grade. For grade calculation purposes, there will therefore be 300 points available: 105 points for Lab, 95 points for exams, and 100 points for team projects. Also for grade calculation purposes, each exam will have 72 questions, and be worth 72 points for a total of 144 points, but this score will be coverted to a 95 point basis for grading. Team projects will contain two types of tasks: Tasks the team as a whole must complete. For example, the team may be asked to write a report in memo format, and this report is a team task. Tasks that each member of the team must complete on his or her own. For example, the team may be asked to have each member create a personal Web page, and each Web page is an individual task. Your team grade will be determined by both the overall team performance, and by an evaluation of your individual performance as a team member. The team points assigned to you will be [Team Points] x [Individual Performance Pecentage]. Thus if your [Individual Performance Percentage] is 100% (which means that you fully participated on team tasks, and that you completed all the individual tasks of the Team projects), then you get all the [Team Points]. A 100% [Individual Performance Percentage] is consider the norm, and anything less than this will occur only because you have not contributed to your team as you should have. Thus, there will be a total of 300 points for the determination of grades. Grades will be assigned based on a class curve, not a rigid point cutoff basis. The curve will be calculated, and grades will be assigned as follows:
MIS 320 - Principles of Management Information Systems - Course Syllabus - Fall http://faculty.wwu.edu/auer/mis320/mis-320--40-dja.html Page 6 of 10 9/20/ First, a "top-of-the-curve" point will be calculated which will become equal to 100%. This number will be determined by averaging 300 points and the highest number of points actually attained by a member of the class. Second, all point totals will be converted to percentages by dividing each person's point total by the "top-of-the-curve" point. Percentages will be calculated to one decimal place, and thus 89.9% is used as 89.9%, not rounded to 90%. Third, percentage grade divisions will be determined. Although these cannot be determined until the end of the quarter, they will not be higher that a 90.0%-and-up = A, 80.0-89.9% = B, etc, distribution. Plus and minus grades will be assigned, with, for example, 80.0%-82.9%=B-, 83.0%- 86.9%=B, 87.0%-89.9%=B+. A+ grades will not be assigned. EXAM/ASSIGNMENTS POLICY: NO EARLY OR LATE EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN. EXCUSE FROM AN EXAM IS GIVEN ONLY IF OFFICIAL MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION IS PROVIDED. REQUESTS FOR EXCUSE DUE TO PERSONAL EMERGENCIES [I.E., A DEATH IN THE FAMILY] NEED TO BE DISCUSSED WITH ME. The Western Washington University Registrar's Office states (see the footnotes on the Web page) that "If the final examinations schedule causes a student to take three or more examinations in one day, any of his or her instructors may arrange an examination later during Finals Week." Notice that this possibility ONLY applies to finals week, and that it is NOT required ("may arrange") of an instructor. I will NOT reschedule finals (or midterms) for individuals. Check the date and time of the final for this class carefully, and plan to be there! The General Catalog also states (page 34) that students not taking the final get "a failing grade for the course." WORKING TOGETHER - ACADEMIC HONESTY AND DISHONESTY: I encourage you to study with other members of the class, and will assign you to small (4-5 person) groups. Talking with other class members can help you clarify your understanding of the subject. However, your work on exams and on any graded assignments must be your own. You may study together for exams and discuss the solutions to the assignments, but anyone caught cheating on an exam or turning in a copy of another person's assignment will be dealt with in accordance with the General Catalog's Appendix D - Academic Dishonesty Policy and Procedure. If you're not familiar with this section, you may want to review it. HOMEWORK PROBLEMS AND ASSIGNMENTS: You will find it necessary to work homework problems in order to fully understand the material.
