CIS 3100 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

SYLLABUS - FALL 2021

1 WELCOME!

Thank you for joining me in CIS 3100! A bit about me. I have taught courses in general Business Communications, Computer Information Systems and International Business Marketing. Courses I currently teach are Business Communications, Information Management Systems and CIS Internship in Info Systems. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching all my classes; especially IBM 403, IBM 421, BUS 3000, CIS 421, and CIS 3100.

I have 18 years of professional experience in digital marketing and web design in the finance and high-tech industries. I love art/design, public speaking and writing. I have published 3 books with Random House and 34 broadcast TV appearances (8 live) with HGTV and HSN. I have been teaching at Cal Poly traditional in-person, fully online and hybrid courses here since 2017.

My time these first few days will be to manage enrollments and to assist students with any questions they may have in orientation. Look at the syllabus as it has all the details you need, along with this Blackboard for this class.

Fun fact: Our entire family of 5 (My husband and fellow CIS/Finance professor John, myself, and our 3 sons) have graduated from Cal Poly!

3 COURSE INFORMATION

3.1 CLASS FORMAT

This is an online course. As our class is asynchronous, we will not meet for lectures, homework, and projects. Students are expected to work on the course every day so they can master the course materials of two modules per week. Midterm and final exams will be held online utilizing an online testing platform and consist of multiple-choice questions from the assigned modules as shown in the course schedule.

3.2 COURSE DESCRIPTION AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Course Objectives

This course focuses on the management and uses of information and information technologies within and between business organizations. The course content helps students understand how information technologies and internal and external information are central to the types of work they will perform in organizations of all kinds. It shows how different types of organizations and in different areas within organizations to accomplish organizational goals and provide strategic advantage use information.

The course emphasizes the knowledge that individuals across organizations (e.g., in accounting, finance, human resources, operations management, information systems) need to manage information. It also covers ethical, social, and security issues involved in the implementation and use of information systems in modern organizations. Special aspects of information systems in multinational and global organizations are examined.

Expected outcomes

● Students will learn to collect and analyze strategic information, analyze them with software tools, and present the results in clear, effective and meaningful ways.

● Students will learn the language and terminology of information systems technologies used in contemporary business.

● Students will learn how information is used in different business domains, including distributed, networked, multi-national and multi-cultural environments

The University trusts each student to maintain high standards of honesty and ethical behavior.

Students that fail to observe honesty and plagiarism policies will fail the course; and be reported to the Office of Judicial Affairs. Just some examples of plagiarism and unethical behavior are the following ones:

1. Cut and paste information from an Internet document on the student report.

2. Borrow a stage of the class project from a classmate and present it as yours.

3. Present an essay that is not yours.

Please do not share your projects. If a student plagiarizes another student’s project, BOTH students would get a F grade in the course and BOTH students will be turned into Judicial Affairs.
