Course Requirements and Grade Composition
Final Exam (45%): One open-book exam will be administered during the semester. If the exam will be missed because of a University-excused absence (and prior notice is provided), the final will be rescheduled by the instructor based on his discretion. The format of the make-up exam may vary from the formats of regularly scheduled exams. The instructor has the sole right to make determinations concerning the potential for make-up exams.
Final Project & Homework Assignments (45%): You will join to a team to work on the project and homework assignments. In the project, you will need to create an IT-related business and analyze your strategy in a given industry/market in the field of Management Information Systems. A late penalty of 20% per 24-hour period will be imposed for projects turned in after the submission time. Saturday and Sunday count as one 24-hour period. The topics of the final project will be introduced in class.
Presentation (20%): You will need to present your findings or thoughts in the final two weeks in class. Students in the same group will receive the same grade (Students SHOULD participate in the group work to receive the grade). At least two students in a group should be presenters.
Final Report (25%): You will need to submit a group final report regarding to the final project by the assigned submission deadline (11:59:59 pm on Jan 15, 2022). Students in the same group will receive the same grade (Students SHOULD participate in the group work to receive the grade. An in-group peer review will be conducted in the end of the semester to adjust the scores related to the group work on final project.)
Class Participation (10%): It involves attendance and class participation. The instructor may call on individual students during the class, and their inability to respond with a reasonable answer will adversely affect their class participation grade. For each class, students will be graded on a 0-2 scale: 0 for absence, 1 for presence without constructive participation, and 2 for constructive participation. Pop quizzes may be conducted to support the class participation.
Notes for Temporary All-Distance-Learning Mandate due to the COVID-19 Pandemic
If a mandate from our school will be operated that needs all our classes to go online temporarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the semester, all the course requirements and grade composition will be the same but the format may be adjusted a little (e.g., online synchronous or asynchronous classes, online exam, online TA sessions, and/or online presentation). Changes will be announced if needed.
