Texts:
• “Teach Yourself SAP R/3 in 24 Hours ” (copyright 1999) by SAMs Publishing
• The course makes heavy use of PowerPoint presentations using an overhead projector.
These slides will be available on the home page for the class. In addition, articles,
which supplement the textbooks, may be distributed during the course. I will also post
some related material on the course home page. You must keep up to date with the
class web page for bulletins. Some handouts will only be distributed in class and
not posted on the web page.

Course Objective:

The objective of this course is to introduce the students to the value of Enterprise
Resource Planning and to understand the issues in the selection and implementation of
ERP software. Students will get hands on experience with SAP modules (Sales &
Marketing, Production, Procurement, Finance, and Controlling) and learn how SAP has
been implemented at some of the Fortune 500 companies. This is an introductory
course! Students must put in their time learning the system in order to be very
successful in the course.

If you disagree with the grade you have received on an exam please turn in your complaint
in writing and we will try and resolve the problem.

Class participation and attendance:

I would like to encourage you to come to class. Students that miss classes grades are
reflective of their attendance. There is always something that we can learn from each other.
In addition, I would encourage your active participation. An interactive class is always
more fun!! I would encourage you to read articles on the Internet and other popular press
and trade magazines and bring into class some discussion about the topics being discussed
in class.

Regular and Make Up Exam:

All exams will be based on a closed book closed notes format. No cheat sheet will be
allowed. Everyone is expected to take the exams. Should you have a conflict that is
unavoidable, please contact me BEFORE the exam and we can try and work something
out. There will be NO make up exam.

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, collusion, and/or falsifying academic records. Students
suspected of academic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary proceedings. Specifically,

Schedule:

This is a tentative schedule of classes. I will try and follow this as far as possible. If there
are any changes I will announce them in class. If you miss class or are asleep when I
announce the changes it is YOUR responsibility to find out what changes have been made.
I will not be held responsible for you missing announcement changes.

General Notes:

• Exams will be closed books and notes.

• Active class participation is expected and encouraged. Express your views and ask
many questions – the objective is that you learn, and not that you show off or keep
your misunderstanding to yourself. I would encourage some incorrect answers since
they tend to stimulate discussion.

• For the benefit of the class (and the instructor), your are encouraged to bring up in
class relevant work experience, which you may have had, or database related material
which you read in the popular press. For the benefit of the class please provide me with
a copy of the article and I will make sure that copies are made and distributed, so that
we could have a lively discussion in class.

• The best way to reach me is via email or telephone.
