Evaluation is based on you consistently demonstrating your engagement with the material. Assessment is based on what you contribute, not simply what you know.<\/p>\n \n- Preparation before class \u2013 To facilitate active participation in the class I request that you do the following before noon on the day of the class:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Briefly address and summarize:<\/p>\n \n- One key point you took from each assigned reading. (One or two sentences per reading)<\/li>\n
- One question that you would ask your fellow classmates that facilitates discussion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
I will also require that you identify, and are prepared to discuss, an article about a current event in the IT, Security, or Project Management arena each week.\u00a0 Each student is expected to contribute a link to an article to the online class discussion each week.\u00a0 An ideal article would be tied thematically to the topic of the week.<\/p>\n However, any article you find interesting and would like to share is welcome. The deadline for posting is noon on the day of class.<\/p>\n \n- Participation during class \u2013 We will typically start each session with \u201copening\u201d questions about the assigned readings and analyses. I may ask for volunteers, or I may call on you.\u00a0 Students called on to answer should be able to summarize the key issues, opportunities, and challenges in the analyses.\u00a0 All students should be prepared to answer these questions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Another important aspect of in-class participation is completion of in-class assignments and contribution to any break out activities.<\/p>\n \n- Participation between classes \u2013 To facilitate ongoing learning of the course material, we will also discuss course material on the class blog in between class.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Each topical week, a discussion primer will be posted on the class website. Students should actively engage in meaningful discussion of the weekly topic.\u00a0 Full credit for discussions is not predicated on \u201canswering the question\u201d, but rather on meaningful contribution to the conversations.\u00a0 As a general guideline, students are expected to review and post comments three times during each topical unit.<\/p>\n Any submissions to the discussion board after the topical week concludes will not be considered during grading.\u00a0 Overall, discussion participation will be weighted 20% of the final course grade.<\/p>\n Exams<\/h3>\nThere will be twoe exams given during the semester.\u00a0 Together these exams are weighted 30% of each student\u2019s final grade.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\nBelow is the exam schedule:<\/p>\n These exams will consist of multiple-choice questions.\u00a0 You will have a fixed time (e.g. 50 minutes) to complete the exam.\u00a0 Test one will occur in week 7 and will cover the systems analysis and planning; test two will occur in week 14 and will cover the remaining material.<\/p>\n A missed exam can only be made up in the case of documented and verifiable extreme emergency situation.\u00a0 No make-up is possible for test three.<\/p>\n Projects<\/h3>\nThere will be 5 projects during the course.\u00a0 Each project is weighted 12% of your final grade (60% in total).\u00a0 Details on each project will be provided in class, with the due dates noted on the syllabus.\u00a0 While these projects are graded individually, students may work collaboratively to complete their individual project submissions.\u00a0 Students will be randomly chosen to present their project to the class.<\/p>\n Weekly Cycle<\/h3>\nAs outlined above in the Assignments and<\/strong> Participation<\/strong> sections, much of your learning will occur as you prepare for and participate in discussions about course content. To facilitate learning course material, we will discuss course material on the class discussion board between classes.\u00a0 Each week this discussion will follow this cycle:<\/p>\nEvaluation and Grading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n| \n <\/p>\n \n\n\n\nItem<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n| \n Weight<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n Assignments<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 60%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n Participation<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 10%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n Exams<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 30%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n| \n 100%<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n\n\n\n\n| \n Grading Scale<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 94 \u2013 100<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n A<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 73 \u2013 76<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n C<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n 90 \u2013 93<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n A-<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 70 \u2013 72<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n C-<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n 87 \u2013 89<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n B+<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 67 \u2013 69<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n D+<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n 83 \u2013 86<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n B<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 63 \u2013 66<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n D<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n 80 \u2013 82<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n B-<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 60 \u2013 62<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n D-<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n 77 \u2013 79<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n C+<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Below 60<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n F<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Grading Criteria<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe following criteria are used for evaluating assignments. You can roughly translate a letter grade as the midpoint in the scale (for example, an A- equates to a 91.5).<\/p>\n \n\n\n| \n Criteria<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n| \n Grade<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n The assignment consistently exceeds expectations. It demonstrates originality of thought and creativity throughout. Beyond completing all of the required elements, new concepts and ideas are detailed that transcend general discussions along similar topic areas. There are no mechanical, grammatical, or organization issues that detract from the ideas.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n A- or A<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n The assignment consistently meets expectations. It contains all the information prescribed for the assignment and demonstrates a command of the subject matter. There is sufficient detail to cover the subject completely but not too much as to be distracting. There may be some procedural issues, such as grammar or organizational challenges, but these do not significantly detract from the intended assignment goals.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n B-, B, B+<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n The assignment fails to consistently meet expectations. That is, the assignment is complete but contains problems that detract from the intended goals. These issues may be relating to content detail, be grammatical, or be a general lack of clarity. Other problems might include not fully following assignment directions.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n C-, C, C+<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The assignment constantly fails to meet expectations. It is incomplete or in some other way consistently fails to demonstrate a firm grasp of the assigned material.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Below C-<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Late Assignment Policy<\/h3>\nAn assignment is considered late if it is turned in after the assignment deadlines stated above.\u00a0 No late assignments will be accepted without penalty unless arrangements for validated unusual or unforeseen situations have been made.<\/p>\n \n- The exercise assignments will be assessed a 20% penalty<\/strong> each day they are late. No credit is given for assignments turned in over five calendar days past the due date.<\/li>\n
- You must submit all assignments, even if no credit is given. If you skip an assignment, an additional 10 points will be subtracted from your final grade in the course.<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Plan ahead and backup your work. Equipment failure is not an acceptable reason for turning in an assignment late.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Citation Guidelines<\/h3>\nIf you use text, figures, and data in reports that were 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 (see some of the resources below). The formats are 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>\n Plagiarism and Academic Dishonesty<\/h3>\nAll work done for this course:\u00a0 examinations, homework exercises, blog posts, oral and written presentations \u2014 is expected to be the individual effort of the student presenting the work.<\/p>\n Plagiarism and academic dishonesty can take many forms.\u00a0 The most obvious is copying from another student\u2019s exam, but the following are also forms of this:<\/p>\n \n- Copying material directly, word-for-word, from a source (including the Internet)<\/li>\n
- Using material from a source without a proper citation<\/li>\n
- Turning in an assignment from a previous semester as if it were your own<\/li>\n
- Having someone else complete your homework or project and submitting it as if it were your own<\/li>\n
- Using material from another student\u2019s assignment in your own assignment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Plagiarism and cheating are serious offenses, and behavior like this will not be tolerated. In cases of cheating, both parties will be held equally responsible, i.e. both the student who shares the work and the student who copies the work. Penalties for such actions are given at my discretion, and can range from a failing grade for the individual assignment, to a failing grade for the entire course, to expulsion from the program.<\/p>\n Student and Faculty Academic Rights and Responsibilities<\/p>\n The University has adopted a policy on Student and Faculty Academic Rights and Responsibilities<\/a> (Policy # 03.70.02<\/a>).<\/p>\nAdditional Information<\/h3>\n \n\n\n| \n Availability of Instructor<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n| \n \u00a7\u00a0 Please feel free to contact me via e-mail with any issues related to this class.\u00a0 I will also be available at the end of each session.\u00a0 Please note that these discussions are to address questions\/concerns but are NOT<\/u> for helping students catch up on content they missed because they were absent.
