Assignments and the Term Project

Homework consists of assigned readings from DAMA as well as supplemental materials. Four assignments and one term project 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 is required as part of class attendance for this course. These will be posted to D2L each week and will be due by the end of day the following Monday. For example, a discussion topic that opens on January 4th will close at 11:30 PM on January 11th. Discussion questions will be locked after the due date and no more posts/replies will be accepted. 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.  In general, participation in a specific discussion question can earn up to 10 points.    Each post and/or reply will earn up to 5 points.

Changes to Syllabus

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.

Online Course Evaluations

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.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

This course will be subject to the university's academic integrity policy. More information can be found at http://academicintegrity.depaul.edu/ If you have any questions be sure to consult with your professor.

All students are expected to abide by the University's Academic Integrity Policy which prohibits cheating and other misconduct in student coursework. Publicly sharing or posting online any prior or current materials from this course (including exam questions or answers), is considered to be providing unauthorized assistance prohibited by the policy. Both students who share/post and students who access or use such materials are considered to be cheating under the Policy and will be subject to sanctions for violations of Academic Integrity.
