Course Overview
The information we are going to exchange in the context of this course will enable all of us to
appreciate the complexity of information systems and their role in assisting decision making in a
business setting. Information system refers broadly to a computer-based system that provides
managers with the tools for organizing, evaluating and efficiently running their departments. In
order to provide past, present and prediction information, an information system can include
software that helps in decision making, data resources such as databases, the hardware resources of
a system, decision support systems, people or project management applications, and any
computerized processes that enable the department to run efficiently. Your participation is vital to
not only your understanding of the material but also to add to your fellow classmates’ understanding
of principals and concepts. In addition to your own “book” work, I will be sending you out to the
Internet for material vital to this discipline. Together we can make this a great learning experience.

Life) at 573-875-7400. The teacher maintains the right to manage a positive learning environment,
and all students must adhere to the conventions of online etiquette.
Plagiarism
Your grade will be based in large part on the originality of your ideas and your written presentation
of these ideas. Presenting the words, ideas, or expression of another in any form as your own is
plagiarism. Students who fail to properly give credit for information contained in their written work
(papers, journals, exams, etc.) are violating the intellectual property rights of the original author. For
proper citation of the original authors, you should reference the appropriate publication manual for
your degree program or course (APA, MLA, etc.). Violations are taken seriously in higher education
and may result in a failing grade on the assignment, a grade of "F" for the course, or dismissal from
the College.
Collaboration conducted between students without prior permission from the instructor is
considered plagiarism and will be treated as such. Spouses and roommates taking the same course
Columbia College Online Campus
P a g e | 10
should be particularly careful.
All required papers may be submitted for textual similarity review to Turnitin.com for the detection
of plagiarism. All submitted papers may be included in the Turnitin.com reference database for the
purpose of detecting plagiarism. This service is subject to the Terms and Conditions of Use posted on
the Turnitin.com site.

Disability Services
Students with documented disabilities who may need academic services for this course are required
to register with the Coordinator for Disability Services at (573) 875-7626. Until the student has been
cleared through the disability services office, accommodations do not have to be granted. If you are a
student who has a documented disability, it is important for you to read the entire syllabus before
enrolling in the course. The structure or the content of the course may make an accommodation not
feasible.
Online Participation
You are expected to read the assigned texts and participate in the discussions and other course
activities each week. Assignments should be posted by the due dates stated on the grading schedule
in your syllabus. If an emergency arises that prevents you from participating in class, please let your
instructor know as soon as possible.
Attendance Policy
Attendance for a week will be counted as having submitted a course assignment for which points
have been earned during that week of the session or if the proctoring information has been
submitted or the plagiarism quiz taken if there is no other assignment due that week. A class week is
defined as the period of time between Monday and Sunday (except for Week 8, when the week and
the course will end on Saturday at midnight). The course and system deadlines are all based on the
Central Time Zone.
Cougar E-mail
All students are provided a CougarMail account when they enroll in classes at Columbia College. You
are responsible for monitoring e-mail from that account for important messages from the College and
from your instructor. You may forward your Cougar e-mail account to another account; however, the
College cannot be held responsible for breaches in security or service interruptions with other e-mail
providers.
Students should use e-mail for private messages to the instructor and other students. The class
discussions are for public messages so the class members can each see what others have to say about
any given topic and respond.
Late Assignment Policy
An online class requires regular participation and a commitment to your instructor and your
classmates to regularly engage in the reading, discussion and writing assignments. Although most of
the online communication for this course is asynchronous, you must be able to commit to the
schedule of work for the class for the next eight weeks. You must keep up with the schedule of
reading and writing to successfully complete the class.
Late assignments will only be accepted with prior approval by the instructor. Unapproved late
assignments cannot receive full credit. The amount of the deduction will be determined by how long
Columbia College Online Campus
P a g e | 11
the assignment is overdue. Twenty percent (20 %) will be deducted for each 24 hours past the due
date.
Course Evaluation
You will have an opportunity to evaluate the course near the end of the session. Course evaluations
will open on Sunday of Week 5 and will remain open until Thursday of Week 7. A link will be sent to
your CougarMail that will allow you to access the evaluation. Be assured that the evaluations are
