This course is required for all undergraduate students in the Business School. Around 40 undergraduates are enrolled in this section.
Each student enrolled in this course should already have basic knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, or their Mac OS or Google Drive equivalents.
The Learning Community operates for the following purposes:
- To acquire and expand subject matter knowledge
- To improve technology skills
- To acquire and maintain a relevant understanding of contemporary industry practices and challenges
- To leverage technology as an outlet for creativity
- To improve communication and presentation skills
- To improve writing skills
- To improve the ability to work in teams
Class assignments are designed to reflect and measure performance against these stated learning objectives.
This course calls for a required lab component to ensure students acquire relevant technical skills.
Emphasis will be placed on providing students with experiential and active learning opportunities.
Accordingly, instruction will more often take the form of lab sessions and support sessions than lecture sessions.
The following text book has been assigned to accompany this course:
| title | author | edition | isbn | price range |

| Intro to Information Systems | Rainer | 5th | 9781118674369 | $62.50 - $176.75 |
Relevant material from the textbook will be covered during lectures.
Students may optionally choose to purchase, borrow, or loan the book for additional context.
There are no exams for this course. Student learning will be evaluated through the submission of assignments.
All Assignments must be delivered before the end of the last day of the semester (midnight concluding 12/9).
Each assignment carries a suggested delivery date to help students manage their time. In some cases, assignment delivery dates are not flexible (e.g. in-class lab assignments).
Assignments submitted by the delivery date will be evaluated/graded by an instructor within a reasonable amount of time (roughly one or two weeks following the delivery date).
Often, evaluation will contain feedback on how to improve the submission.
To ensure students receive sufficient instructional support and equal access to the time and attention of instructors, and to provide students with hands-on experience using contemporary business collaboration tools, members of the Learning Community will communicate and collaborate according to a specified set of tools and guidelines.
To foster and promote a positive and successful learning environment, each member of the Learning Community agrees to abide by University Codes of Conduct.
