Prerequisites
A “C” or better in MIS2101. If you have not already taken MIS2101 and earned a “C” or
better, you will be dropped from the class by the MIS department. If this is the case,
please drop the class now to make room for another student who meets this prerequisite.
Course Objectives
Learn the basics of modern enterprise architecture which is integrated into the business
and focuses on people, information, governance, process, and technology in the hyper
connected enterprise. Learn how to discover the trade-offs between technologies and
how these trade-offs relate to business value. Learn how to define and deliver services
with predictable costs, quality, and deployment times. Learn how to utilize computing
platforms to create value within an organization. Learn how digital ecosystems are
utilized which utilize technology to create new and innovative business models.

*** Please take note of “MIS
Department Portfolio
Requirement” (below). Students
will earn an “Incomplete” if they
do not meet the requirements
outlined in this section.
Please note that it is against my policy to discuss grades on any exam, graded assignment
or any other direct component of your final grade via e-Mail. If you would like to discuss
how an exam or assignment was graded, please see me during office hours. If you are
not available during office hours, please make an appointment with me for another time.
Please note that two weeks after a grade has been posted, the grade will be considered
“final”. If you have an issue with a grade you are required to meet with me or make an
appointment to meet with me during this two week period. After this two week period a
grade will be considered “final” and is not up for discussion.
Class Repeat policy
A grade of a ‘C or better’ is required for all MIS courses in order to move onto the next
course in sequence. 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. MIS majors WILL NOT be permitted to register for a
course a third time. Each time a student registers for a course and earns a grade,
including a “W” when withdrawing from a course, will count towards this limit.
Exams
There will be four exams during the semester. The exams will not be cumulative. Missed
exams can only be made up in the case of documented and verifiable extreme emergency
situations. Our fourth exam will be held during “finals week”. Please check the schedule
published by the university to find the date and time for this fourth exam.

Participation
10% of your final grade will be derived from class participation. Class attendance is not
class participation. This component of your grade is completely subjective and assigned
at the sole discretion of the instructor. This will be based on your individual
contributions to class discussions. Come to class prepared to discuss the required
readings and web research. The focus of the class will be discussing the material from
the readings/research, not covering the material from the readings/research. I will
assume that you have completed the required reading/research and can share a basic
understanding of the material with the rest of the class. Students will be called upon at
random to share their thoughts on the required reading. Students may share their
understanding of the material or, if they had questions about the material, ask insightful
questions about the aspects they didn’t understand. Either way, students must
demonstrate that they have completed the required reading/research and have thought
about the material.
Course Materials
There are no required textbooks for this course. Students will utilize tools like Gartner
and other sites on the Internet to research technologies.
Throughout the semester we will have a number of hands-on “Tech Challenges”. Each
Tech Challenge will start with an in-class demonstration of some technology. During the
following class students will develop hands-on experience with this technology by
working though the same exercise that the instructor completed during the previous class.
Students will be STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to continue to explore these same
technologies on their own outside of the classroom. Students are expected to become
very competent with the basic use of these technologies by working with them on their
own. The fourth exam for this course will require students to demonstrate their
competency with these technologies. Students who put in the time and effort exploring
these technologies outside of the classroom will find the fourth exam to be fairly easy.
Students who do not invest the required time and effort will find the fourth exam to be
extremely challenging.
A number of the Tech Challenges will require the use of VMware. VMware will be
installed on the machines in the classroom and on the machines in the MIS labs in Alter
602 and 603. Students will be required to have a fairly high speed external storage
device (i.e. USB 3.0 flash drive) with at least 32GB of available storage. They will use
this storage device to copy their virtual machines to/from the machines in the classroom
and labs.
As an alternative to using an external storage device, students with laptops that have
enough capacity and available storage to run VMware will be permitted to use their own
laptops.

MIS Department Portfolio Requirement
The MIS department has instituted a portfolio requirement for MIS majors. We have
found that our most successful students are not only engaged inside the classroom but
also with the department and our Student Professional Organization, AIS. Students will
be required to create a portfolio which documents their achievements in the classroom,
with the department, and within AIS. For each addition to their portfolio, a student will
earn some number of “points”. Students will be required to accumulate 1,000 points to
meet this graduation requirement.
MIS2501 will serve as an initial checkpoint to ensure that students are focused on this
requirement and on track to earn their 1,000 points by graduation. Students who do not
earn a minimum of 200 points by the end of the semester will receive an
“Incomplete” for this course regardless of performance on exams or class
participation!
You are STRONGLY encouraged to, at a minimum, do the following to earn portfolio
points:
1. Create an e-Portfolio and have it listed with the department.
2. Become an active member of AIS and participate in professional development
activities.
3. Attend the IT Awards Reception (spring semester only) and the MIS
Department’s Career Fair.
4. Volunteer your time for department sponsored events.
5. Discuss opportunities to earn points for projects with your MIS instructors.
For more information on the portfolio requirement, please see
http://community.mis.temple.edu/misportfolio/.
You can earn up to 50 portfolio points in MIS2501 by independently working on projects
outside of the classroom. You may work on a maximum of two separate projects. For
each project you will earn 25 points by doing the following:
1. Select one of the technologies which we cover in this class (i.e. virtualization,
cloud computing, WordPress, SharePoint, etc.) and develop some basic, hands-on
skills with this technology.
2. Create a short paper (1 page max) which summarizes what this technology does,
why it interests you, and summarizes the hands-on skills you have developed with
this technology. Discuss what will be included in this paper with your instructor
and get the instructor’s approval before proceeding.
3. Create a short web based video in which you demonstrate your newly developed
skill.
4. Create an entry in your e-Portfolio which incorporates the information included in
your paper and includes your video.

Gartner
Gartner is one of the premier information technology research and advisory firms.
Clients have access to a wide range of research products which provide insight and
guidance for a wide range of IT related domains. Temple University is a Gartner client
and, as students, you have access to their research. A number of the assigned readings
from the first part of the course are provided by Gartner. You will find that Gartner is a
great resource and you will likely return to the Gartner site to research additional topics
later in the course.
To access materials from Gartner, go to www.temple.edu/gartner. You will need to enter
your Temple AccessNet account and password to gain access to the site.
Flash Research Assignment
Flash research projects challenge students to develop the ability to quickly and efficiently
research and learn about a technology and to describe the value proposition of a
technology in business terms. You should feel free to collaborate with your fellow
classmates both inside and outside of the classroom on research and the development of
papers. Your work will not be graded. You will be partnered at random with other
students and you will critique each other’s work. Students will also be selected at
random and we will critique your work as a class.
Please note that three of the exams in this class will be flash research assignments.
Working on these assignments is the only way to develop the skills needed to be
successful on exams.
Extra Credit
To earn extra credit you must take your flash research papers to the Business
Communications Center and have the paper critiqued by one of their tutors. You must
use the Fox School’s Business Communication Center. You may not use the
University’s Writing Center. You must update your original paper based on the feedback
from the tutor. You must hand in both your original paper which has been marked up by
the tutor and your revised paper along with the name of the tutor and the date you worked
with the tutor in order to earn extra credit. If you neglect to get the tutor to sign or initial
and date your marked up paper, you will not receive extra credit. In addition, your final
flash research paper must be posted in your e-Portfolio. For each flash research paper
you do this with, one extra credit point will be added to your exam grade.
Extra credit MUST be turned in using the following schedule:
1. Traditional IT Architecture Flash Research – With Exam 1 (added to exam 1)
2. Value Delivery Platform Flash Research – With Exam 2 (added to exam 2)
3. Digital Ecosystems Flash Research – With Exam 3 (added to exam 3)
Please note that making an appointment with the Business Communications Center and
then not showing up for the appointment is extremely non-professional. This wastes
precious tutoring resources that could otherwise be utilized by your classmates. We have
MIS2501
Syllabus
Page 14
had issues with “no-shows” in the past. In order to deal with this issue, the Business
Communications Center will provide me with the list of “no-shows” at the end of the
semester. For each “no-show”, you will lose one of the extra credit points you have
earned during the semester. Canceling an appointment is not the same as a “no-show”. If
you schedule an appointment and then cancel this appointment, there will be no penalty.
Do not schedule appointments with tutors from the Business Communications Center on
the day of an exam and expect to hand extra credit in with the exam. You must meet with
the tutor at least one day before an exam. The Business Communications Center has
been notified of our exam dates and has been asked not to schedule appointments with
MIS2501 students on these dates.
FoxNet Research Assignment
This assignment will be due towards the end of the semester (see course schedule for
actual due date). You are required to use FoxNet to search for jobs and/or internship
opportunities. If you are an MIS major you must identify 10 MIS related jobs and/or
internship opportunities between now and the due date. If you are not an MIS major,
please find 10 jobs and/or internship opportunities that are related to your major instead
but be sure to let me know what your major is. For each opportunity you identify you
must list:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
Name of the employer
Title of the position
Short summary description of the position (2-3 sentences)
Salary if listed
Location if listed
Industry if listed
Short summary list the qualifications
If you feel you are qualified for this position, explain how you met these
requirements. If you do not feel you are qualified for this position, explain
why not. If you feel that your field of study will prepare you for this
opportunity before graduation, let me know that too.
Partial credit for this assignment will NOT be given if the required number of
opportunities is not identified. You will not be able to wait until the due date and then
expect to find the required number of opportunities out on FoxNet; there are never that
many out there at any point in time. Job opportunities posted to FoxNet change
frequently so you will have to check FoxNet regularly (I suggest at least once per week)
for job opportunities until you have completed this assignment.
If you have secured a full-time internship or a permanent position that is closely related
to your major, you will not be required to complete this assignment. Please provide me
with a copy of your offer letter and you will receive credit for this assignment. This must
MIS2501
Syllabus
Page 15
be for a job or internship that you have either worked in the last year or will be starting
within the next year.
Failure to complete this assignment by the due date will result in a reduction of your final
grade by one full letter grade.
Attendance Policy
Regular class attendance is mandatory. Missing class may impact your final grade. I
expect you to arrive on time to class. If you miss a class it is your responsibility to catch
up. Talk to your fellow classmates, check the class blog, complete readings, etc. While
every student is encouraged to visit with me during office hours to help them gain a better
understanding of material which they didn’t fully understand when they were in class,
office hours are NOT for helping students catch up on material they missed because they
were absent.
Appropriate Use of Technology in the Classroom
Please turn off cell phones at the start of class. Let any calls roll over to voice mail; you
can turn your phone on and pick up your messages after 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.
While the use of laptop computers in the classroom is required for some parts of the
course and encouraged for taking notes, using a laptop 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.
Blackboard
With the exception of using SafeAssign for handing in exams and extra credit, we will
not be using Blackboard for this class. Instead, we will be using the web site
Community.MIS.Temple.Edu. This is a social networking site that has been set up by the
MIS department. This site is essentially a fancy blogging tool. We will use it instead of
Blackboard to share course document and to facilitate online discussions outside of the
classroom. You will find things like the syllabus, the slides we use in class, and just
about everything else out on this site. To access the blog you will need to enter your
Temple AccessNet account and password.
Towards the right you will see a section which lists the courses offered by the MIS
department this semester. You should see a link for this course followed by my last
name. Follow this link to get to the blog for our class.
Please note that, like many other social networking sites, anything you post to this site is
completely open; anyone in the world can read it. Please try to keep any posts on topic

Academic Integrity – Zero Tolerance
Plagiarism and academic dishonesty can take many forms. The most obvious is copying
from another student’s exam, but the following are also forms of this:








Copying material directly from the Internet (or another source) without a proper
citation crediting the author
Turning in an assignment from a previous semester as if it were your own
Having someone else complete your lab assignment and submitting it as if it were
your own
Signing someone else’s name to an attendance sign-in sheet
Use of assignments completed in one class as any part of a project assigned in
another class
Sharing/copying homework assignments.
Use of unauthorized notes during an examination
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.
There will be zero tolerance for blatant plagiarism or any other type of academic
dishonesty. Former MIS2501 students have posted both extra credit assignments and
their work on exams to their e-Portfolios. You can find these with a simple Google
search. Because of this, some people may be tempted to present the work of other
students as their own. Under this zero tolerance policy, any student found doing this will
immediately receive a final grade of “F” for the course and a formal complaint will
immediately be filed with the University Discipline Committee (UDC). This incident
will be listed on your permanent academic record. As part of my formal complaint, I will
petition to have you expelled from the university. I will not discuss the penalty for
violating this policy; I will simply direct you to this paragraph in the class syllabus.
We will be using SafeAssign as part of submitting exams and extra credit. If you make a
bad choice, you will be caught and the zero tolerance policy will be strictly enforced.
Academic Honesty
Temple University believes strongly in academic honesty and integrity. Plagiarism and
academic cheating are, therefore, prohibited. Essential to intellectual growth is the
development of independent thought and a respect for the thoughts of others. The
prohibition against plagiarism and cheating is intended to foster this independence and
respect.
Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of another person's labor, another person's ideas,
another person's words, another person's assistance. Normally, all work done for courses - papers, examinations, homework exercises, laboratory reports, oral presentations -- is
expected to be the individual effort of the student presenting the work. Any assistance
must be reported to the instructor. If the work has entailed consulting other resources --
MIS2501
Syllabus
Page 17
journals, books, or other media -- these resources must be cited in a manner appropriate
to the course. It is the instructor's responsibility to indicate the appropriate manner of
citation. Everything used from other sources -- suggestions for organization of ideas,
ideas themselves, or actual language -- must be cited. Failure to cite borrowed material
constitutes plagiarism. Undocumented use of materials from the World Wide Web is
plagiarism.
Academic cheating is, generally, the thwarting or breaking of the general rules of
academic work or the specific rules of the individual courses. It includes falsifying data;
submitting, without the instructor's approval, work in one course which was done for
another; helping others to plagiarize or cheat from one's own or another's work; or
actually doing the work of another person.
The penalty for academic dishonesty can vary from receiving a reprimand and a failing
grade for a particular assignment, to a failing grade in the course, to suspension or
expulsion from the University. The penalty varies with the nature of the offense, the
individual instructor, the department, and the school or college.
Students who believe that they have been unfairly accused may appeal through the
School or College's academic grievance procedure. See Grievances under Student Rights
in this section.
