Grading

Performance on homeworks and a semester long project will determine your grade in this class. The homeworks will test your ability to integrate an understanding of organizational context, decision processes, and information/modeling technologies. The the semester long project will give you ample opportunity to develop your systems analysis, design and implementation skills. By design, most homeworks and the projects will be open ended will require you to structure problems and synthesize solutions.

All work in this class will be completed by students working together in groups of three. Each group will be assigned a grade, and the grade will apply to each member of the group. Informed and effective participation in classroom discussions is an important component of the class and will contrubute toward your grade.

All position papers and final project reports will need to be marked up in HTML and made available on the Web. If you need to learn HTML, use this primer . Brief overveiws of the term project will be presented to the class on May 2. Each group should plan on a 15 minute presentation.
