Most of the assignments will require the use of
software such as Oracle, Microsoft Access and
Microsoft Project. Details on the assignments will
be provided in class.
Unless otherwise instructed, all assignments are
due at the beginning of the class on the due date.
Any assignment turned in late (i.e., after
assignments have been collected) will be penalized
by 50 percent of the total possible grade. No
assignments will be accepted after the due date.
Research – Team Project


A team of students (3-4 in each team) is required
to select a topic relevant to the course, conduct
research and present the finding along with the final
written report.
The report must be prepared according to the
following requirements and suggestions:
◦ Search for a topic by scanning the textbook or discussing
with the professor.
◦ Conduct research to expand the topic beyond what is
discussed in the textbook.
◦ Include at least five references used in the research.
◦ Suggested length of the report – 10 double-spaced pages.

Attendance & Participation


Regular and punctual attendance for the full class period
is expected. Attendance will be recorded.You must
attend the entire class to avoid being recorded absent.
Any student whose absences exceed the equivalent of
two weeks of the class without proper notice may be
dropped by the instructor with a WF for
nonattendance.
You are expected to come to class prepared. That
means you will need to read the assigned chapters
before coming to class and be prepared to discuss them.
Attendance and class participation represent 100
possible points of your final class grade. I will assign
your class participation score based upon your
attendance and the contributions you make in class as
follows:
