MIS2101 Sec 002 – Midterm Review Session – Friday, 9/18

Published September 15, 2015 | By Shana Pote

All,

This Friday, September 18th, the diamond peer teachers will hold a review session for MIS 2101 and MIS 2901 from 4:00pm – 5:00pm in room 603, Alter Hall (the laptop computer lab on the 6th floor). For those who cannot attend, the session will be recorded, and the link will be posted shortly after the session ends.

Please be aware that this is not a structured review. Students are expected to come to the session prepared with questions. The session will essentially be run by the students; when the students run out of questions, the session will end.

Remember, all exam material will be drawn from the assigned readings and in-class activities. The exam is multiple choice, and structured to be completed in a 50 minute session.

Good luck!

Entity Relationship Diagrams from In-Class Activity

Published September 15, 2015 | By Shana Pote

As promised, here’s a .PDF of the two ERDs we drew in class. I’ve also added a third drawing, representing a first draft of the tabular example from class. (Remember, the first draft of an ERD is always messy and noisy.) I’ve also uploaded the example we used in class for comparison.

Changes to Learn IT! #4

Published August 25, 2015 | By Shana Pote

As mentioned in Monday’s class, Learn IT! #4 assignment has changed in both scope and due date. Important date changes are on Weeks 6 and 10. The Learn IT! #4 assignment page has been updated with details for the Temple Analytics Challenge 2015.

Please make sure you review. There will also be reminders in class, but as there are cash prizes and grade incentives, the sooner you’re familiar with the details, the more time you have to prepare.

If any links appear broken or misdirected, please bring to my attention immediately.

Good luck!
