A grade of a \u2018C or better\u2019 is required for all MIS courses in order to move onto the next course in sequence.\u00a0 MIS students are ONLY permitted to repeat a course one time. Any MIS student repeating a course should seek the guidance of the Senior Program Specialist or their Fox School UG advisor. \u00a0MIS majors WILL NOT be permitted to register for a course a third time.\u00a0 Each time a student registers for a course and earns a grade, including a \u201cW\u201d when withdrawing from a course, will count towards this limit.<\/p>\n
While attendance will not be taken, you are expected to attend each and every class. Class will consist of lecture, discussion, in class activities and studio time.\u00a0 All of these will require your attention and participation in order to succeed.\u00a0 I expect you to arrive on time to class. If you miss a class it is your responsibility to catch up. Talk to your class fellows, check the class blog, watch the class capture, find out the homework, team assignments, readings, etc.\u00a0 Your participation grade is a direct reflection of your engagement in the classroom.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Please don\u2019t take calls or texts during class. If you have an urgent, personal situation and may be receiving an important phone call during class, please let me know this at the beginning of class, sit near the door, and step out of the classroom if you need to take a call.<\/p>\n
The use of laptop computers in the classroom is permitted and encouraged for taking notes, sharing homework, and working on our activities. Laptop use for any other purpose is prohibited. This distracts the students sitting around you. If I find that you are using a laptop for something other than taking notes, you will be asked to put your laptop away and you will no longer be permitted to use a laptop in the classroom.<\/p>\n
The MIS Department has instituted a professional achievement points requirement for all MIS majors. This class is a checkpoint to ensure that students are focused on this requirement and on track to earn their 1,000 points by graduation.\u00a0Students in MIS3506 must earn a minimum of 400 points by the end of the semester.<\/strong>\u00a0Students who fail to earn the required points will receive an \u201cIncomplete\u201d for this course regardless of performance on exams or class participation!<\/p>\n If a student fails to\u00a0earn the minimum number of professional achievement points within one year from the end of the semester or does not notify their instructor that they have earned the minimum number of professional achievement points, then their \u201cIncomplete\u201d will be changed to an \u201cF\u201d automatically. The grade of \u201cF\u201d will then be the student\u2019s permanent grade<\/u><\/p>\n If you use text, figures, and data in reports that was created by others you must identify the source and clearly differentiate your work from the material that you are referencing. If you fail to do so you are plagiarizing. There are many different acceptable formats that you can use to cite the work of others. The format is not as important as the intent. You must clearly show the reader what is your work and what is a reference to someone else\u2019s work.<\/p>\nCitation Guidelines<\/h2>\n
