Unofficial LETTER GRADES posted on Gradebook

I’ve posted unofficial mid-term LETTER grades on Gradebook (http://community.mis.temple.edu/gradebook/). This includes top 5 reading brief scores so far (dropping one lowest), Executive Report #1, and ROI Homework #1.

This is the grade you would be given if it was the end of the semester. Please be advised that this is strictly unofficial, and your final grade will depend on your performance for the rest of the semester.

Need to a volunteer to explain the ROI concepts (a waiver for one brief)

I am looking for a volunteer who can explain the concepts of return-on-investments (ROI) for Oct 3rd. She/he will explain how to calculate net present value (NPV), internal rate of returns (IRR), and a backpack period.

The volunteer will be given participation points and a waiver for one reading brief. Please email me (minspang@temple.edu) to come forward!

Welcome to MIS 3534 – Strategic Management of IT!

Greetings,

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer well. My name is Min-Seok, and I’ll be teaching MIS 3534 (Monday 5:30 – 8pm) in Fall 2016. I would like to wholeheartedly welcome you all to MIS 3534!

The first class is on Monday, Aug 29 at 5:30pm at Alter Hall 032. Please find and read the syllabus and be prepared with the first class and the textbook. Please bring the textbook for the first day, but you’re not required to read the first chapter. It is available for purchase at the campus bookstore and Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Adventures-IT-Leader-Robert-Austin/dp/142214660X/).

Once again, I’m very much excited to have you in MIS 3534. Enjoy the rest of the break, and I’ll look forward to seeing you soon.
