Exams will
cover information in the text readings, case studies, laboratory exercises, and
class discussions. Exams can contain true/false, multiple choice,
word fill-in, matching, and essay elements. Each exam will cover four chapters
in the textbook and may include questions related to classroom discussion,
cases, and lab activities.
I will give
ten quizzes during the semester. The multiple choice questions will test your
understanding of definitions and the terminology used in the textbook. The
quizzes should help you prepare for the exams.
You will
work in a team with four other students to analyze and present one section of
the Broadway Cafe Case
in front of the class. Use of PowerPoint is required. Every team member must
talk during the presentation. Each member in a group will receive the same
grade for the PowerPoint, but will be graded as individuals for their part of
the presentation. Case presentations should be at least 10 minutes long but no
more than 20 minutes. Teams and Cases will be assigned during the first class
meeting. Presentation dates are listed in the course schedule below.
We will be
watching the film “Triumph
of the Nerds” in class. You will write a short review of the film,
answering the questions provided to you here: Film Review Due date:
9/26
We will
spend portions of four class periods in the computer lab, learning how to use
Access. Each lab session will be complimented by a homework assignment, due by
the following class. An Access project will be completed in a fifth lab.
To log on: Domain
is LAB. Username is your student ID # - 9 digits starting with a zero. Password
for first time users is the last two letters of your last name followed by the
last 4 digits of your student ID. After your first log change the password.
Password trouble: Your instructor does not have access
to student passwords. Go to the help desk in room 302.
The Screen: Warning: The display screen is hard
to see from the two back rows. To get a better view, sit in one of the first
four rows. Students should never be seated in the back row, if space is
available up front.
Printing:
Printing in the lab costs 10 cents per page. You start with a $5.00
credit. If you run out of funds on your account you can not print. Money can be
added to your account at the help desk in room BBC 302. You have to set up a
printer before you can print. See the instructions posted on the front and back
walls of the lab.
