Prerequisites
Assignments and the Term Project
Homework consists of assigned readings from DAMA as well as supplemental materials. Five assignments and one term project (with 3 parts) will be required throughout the course. Details of each assignment and the project will be posted on D2L. All assignments and project deliverables are due on the due date associated with the submission folder. No credit can be earned when an item has been graded and returned to other students, when the solution has already been discussed in class, when an online discussion forum’s time window has ended, or when an item has been turned in after the last class session.
Late submissions will be penalized unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. You will lose 25% of the possible credit if less than 1 week late, 50% of the credit if 1- 2 weeks late, and 100% of the credit if more than 2 weeks late.
Exams
The midterm and final exams will be conducted on D2L. While the exams will be on D2L and can be done remotely, they will be timed and must be completed within the allotted time. More information will be posted on D2L prior to each exam. The final exam will be a comprehensive exam.
Participation
In addition to online lectures and supporting Power Point Presentations, participation in online discussions are required as part of class attendance for this course. These will be posted to D2L each week and will be due that same week as the lecture. Posts and replies need to show depth of thought to get credit. One-word responses or short phrase responses will not earn credit. In general, to receive credit and show thought, posts will need to be a paragraph or more as a general guideline. In addition, just cutting and pasting content from other sources will not earn credit. The point is to share your thinking on a topic with the rest of the class. Each post and/or reply will earn 4 points.
This syllabus is subject to change as necessary during the quarter. If a change occurs, it will be thoroughly addressed during class, posted under Announcements in D2L and sent via email.
Evaluations are a way for students to provide valuable feedback regarding their instructor and the course. Detailed feedback will enable the instructor to continuously tailor teaching methods and course
content to meet the learning goals of the course and the academic needs of the students. They are a requirement of the course and are key to continue to provide you with the highest quality of teaching. The
evaluations are anonymous; the instructor and administration do not track who entered what responses. A program is used to check if the student completed the evaluations, but the evaluation is completely
separate from the student’s identity. Since 100% participation is our goal, students are sent periodic reminders over three weeks. Students do not receive reminders once they complete the evaluation.
Students complete the evaluation online in CampusConnect.
