MIS 2101.101 – Marie-Christine Martin – Fall 2018

Welcome to MIS2101

Published August 4, 2015 | By Mart Doyle

Welcome to MIS2101, Information Systems in Organizations.  We will not be using Canvas for this class.  Instead we’ll be using this site which is hosted by Community.MIS.Temple.Edu.  This site is built on WordPress, a world class open-source blogging tool.  As part of completing the assignments in MIS2101 you will gain some experience with WordPress and other technologies.

Unlike most intro courses, this course has no required textbook.  The traditional textbook has been replaced by a collection of readings and videos that are freely available over the Internet.  Another way you will find this class very different than most classes you will take at any university is that this class is “activity based”.  With this type of class there is far less traditional lecture.  We will used the time that is freed up from lectures to complete in-class activities that help students develop a deeper and more genuine understanding of the material that is discussed during our class discussions.

On this site you will find all of the required course materials including the syllabus, links to the assigned readings, links to assigned videos, assignments and access to your grades for the course.  In addition announcements will be made in class and/or on this site so it is important that you check this site regularly for announcements.

MIS 2101 Exam 2 Review Session

Published October 16, 2018 | By Marie-Christine Martin
Hello everyone,
 
I will be holding two review sessions for Exam 2:
  • Monday, October 22, 4-5:30pm in Alter 34.
  • Friday, October 26, 6-7:30pm in Alter 32.
I will be doing the same thing for both sessions so students can just attend one of them. The session will also be recorded on Class Capture.
 
As usual, I will NOT be covering all of the exam materials but rather, students are expected to come with questions. Mart has set up a link for them to ask questions in advance:
 
They can leave a “Reply” to the post listing questions that they would like to have answered during the review session. I will then compile these questions to be addressed during the session.
 
Thank you!
 
Best,
Michelle
