Select Papers for Week 13 and 14
For Week 13 and 14, I will ask each student to select one paper for us to read and discuss.
- Please select two papers and send me by Monday, April 4. I will choose one of them.
- The papers should be published at top IS or other business journals.

Final Term Paper – due by Friday, May 6, 11:59 PM
The final term paper is due by Friday, May 6 at 11:59PM EST. Submit your term paper by email.
Be advised that there will be no “incomplete” grade. Missing this deadline will result in a failing grade.
Week 10 – Research Proposal Presentations
On March 23, each student will present his/her ideas for a final term paper (research proposal).
- Each student will have 10 minutes for presentation, followed by a 5-minute Q&A.
- For MIS students, proposal topics must be from (or closely related to) the research topics in this seminar. Non-MIS students are allowed to deviate from this boundary but still expected to propose new IS ideas or interdisciplinary research ideas with IS and own majors.
- Presentation will consist of (i) motivation, (ii) background theory, (iii) hypotheses, and (iv) possible data sources.
- Presentation will be stopped promptly at 10 minutes. Hence, be advised to keep your slides within 7-8 pages.
- Post your presentation slides on this site by Monday, March 21, 11:59 PM, so that the instructors and other students have enough time to look at and think about feedback.
