Course Objective
 The course is designed for students who are or who soon will become business professionals. Students will be equipped with the information necessary to become skilled knowledge workers and IS specialists in an increasingly fast changing and dynamic business world. The course emphasizes the essential role of Internet technologies in providing a platform for business, commerce, and collaboration processes among all business stakeholders in today’s networked enterprises and global markets. The course is loaded with real world cases and examples about how companies convert traditional processes into digital processes, use networks to create fast-reacting virtual teams to work together, decrease cycle time by using digital transactions with suppliers and partners to get new products and services out before the competition, and to electronically build new business relationships and new markets.
Grading
 The grading will be based on a relative grading scheme. The student with the highest grade in the class will be normalized to a 100%. The rest of the students will be normalized accordingly.
Exam 1 30% 36 points Exam 2 30% 36 points Assignments / Cases 40% 48 points 120 points
Grades will be posted on WebCT after each exam or the assignment is graded. Access to grades will be through WebCT.
Exams
  All exams are closed-book in-class tests.  Answers to all exam questions are taken from class discussions, class notes, and the textbook. Students must bring a Scantron Sheet (
Number 882-E – green form
), available from the campus bookstore, and a no. 2 pencil for each exam. There will be no make up exam, except for the following situations: medical emergency and business trip (written documentation may be required for both).
Assignments
 The purpose of the assignments / cases is to allow students to apply principles learned in class to real world problems. Students are working in teams which are set-up at the beginning of the course. Assignment formats and contents will be discussed in detail in class. There will be one grade assigned per team.
Working Together 
: You are encouraged to work together in how to use computers and applications.
Each student, however, is expected to do his or her own work for the assignments. Copying another student's work is scholastic dishonesty (see below) and will be dealt with accordingly
.
Scholastic Dishonesty
: The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility with respect to academic honesty. Because the value of an academic degree depends upon the absolute integrity of the work done by the student for that degree, it is imperative that a student maintains a high standard of individual honor in his or her scholastic work. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions related to applications for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission as one's own work of material that is not one's own. As a general rule, scholastic dishonesty involves one of the following acts: cheating, plagiarism,
