A. Rationale/Justification for the Course
The newly created multidisciplinary program Data Science and Analytics requires in depth coverage of the data warehousing and
data mining with two separate courses. The CIS Department as a participant in this program will accommodate such request by
dividing an existing course IS 410 Business Intelligence which currently covers both data warehousing and data mining areas into
two courses Is 385 Data Warehousing and IS 410 Data Mining.
IS 385 Data Warehousing will provide students with working knowledge of the concepts, techniques, and tools to provide
effective data warehousing. Students will learn how to leverage data warehousing to establish a competitive advantage and solve
business problems more effectively. The course provides a practical (hands-on) guide to data warehouse development and various
data warehousing tools. In addition to providing a detailed overview and strategic analysis of the available data warehousing
technologies. Students also learn how to compare different data

TEACHING METHODS: 1. Lectures: Important material from the text and outside sources will be covered in class. Students should plan to take careful notes as not all material can be found in the texts or readings. Students are encouraged to contribute relevant material and examples. 2.
Lab activities: Designed to help students gain hands-­‐on skills in using a variety of development tools. 3.
Exams: The exams will be closed book/note and will test assigned readings and material discussed in class. The second exam will not be comprehensive in nature. However, the instructor reserves the right to retest on material that was not appropriately comprehended. 4.
Lab projects: The lab projects will involve building the Data Warehouse, OLAP cube and Data Mining application. METHOD OF EVALUATION Two tests (100 points each) Three projects (100 points each) 10 Lab exercises (20 points each)* Total 200 points 300 points 200 points 700 points * Tentative. The number of exercises may be changed. GRADING SCALE Letter grades will be assigned only at the end of the term when the sum of all grades has been recorded. There is a predefined range of numerical scores, which automatically implies a particular letter grade. % Grade 60-­‐

This grade deviation is a result of the instructor's PERCEPTION of student's performance and participation in the classroom discussion, project and homework. COURSE POLICIES: Class attendance is required because of the in class Lab exercises. The student is responsible for obtaining material, which may have been distributed on class days when he/she was absent. This can be done through contacting a classmate who was present or by contacting the instructor during his office hours. Active participation is required and using electronics for non-­‐course related activities are not allowed. Any uncoordinated, unexcused missed Lab will result in a score of 0 for that Lab. Only students missing Labs due to a pre-­‐arranged, excused absence (timely presentation of a written request accompanied by verifying evidence is required) will be allowed to have a makeup Labs.

A score of zero will be entered for any student who fails to take a test at the scheduled time. However, when extenuating and documented circumstances are present, the instructor may, at his discretion, provide an alternative assessment of the student's proficiency in the subject matter covered by the test. Poor weather conditions are no excuse for missing a lab or an exam. A grade of incomplete will not be given unless conditions contemplated by the specific University-­‐wide policy are present. No other excuse for requesting an incomplete will be accepted as being valid. Miller, New Course

COB Mission and Ethos The College of Business Mission Statement EMU’s College of Business (COB) provides an academic learning environment that fosters innovative, applied and global business programs. It supports the economic development of southeastern Michigan by preparing graduates to perform effectively in a “knowledge and information age” business world shaped by a global economy. EMU’s COB endeavors to develop business leaders to understand and use innovative approaches to address the forces shaping their environment as they create and manage businesses with the highest ethical standards. The College focuses first and foremost on teaching and learning. Faculty conduct research primarily applied in nature which supports the overall learning experience. The College values, supports and encourages service to and interaction with the greater community. The College of Business Ethos Statement: The College of Business students, faculty and staff comprise a professional, interdependent community committed to perfecting responsible, ethical business professionals to serve business and the wider world. Through a positive learning experience mirroring the business world’s best aspects, the community respects the group’s common mission and the individuals comprising it. Community members foster the COB ethos through behavior growing from six interrelated values: 1) Integrity —Integrity is practicing in all areas of life what we profess to believe. It is commitment to professional standards in the whole person. 2) Honesty —Honesty requires respect for the truth; it means being truthful, sincere, and straightforward. 3) Trustworthiness —Growing out of integrity and honesty, trustworthiness is the confidence others have that we mean what we say; we can be counted on. 4) Respect —Respect is deference or esteem for what we value. We recognize others’ worth as ends, not means. Respect is key to our other values. 5) Learning —We value learning as an end in itself and as a practical tool for success in lifelong professional growth. We gain up-­‐to-­‐date, practical and theoretical knowledge through effective, often participative learning and research. 6) The Work Ethic —We practice self reliance and responsibility to our business profession and community. We are industrious and often self supporting. Professional Statement

and elsewhere. We respect confidentiality.
