Evaluation

Expectations

The several tasks for this class are each worth the following percentages

Value Added

23% of your course grade will be based upon the value you add to your colleagues' class experience. The value you add to your peers' experience in this class is based on three things:

  1. Attendance - You are expected to attend all classes. You should be ready to start at 1100. If you need to miss a class, let me know so we can expect that you won't be with us.
  2. Deportment - Be courteous to your classmates. Use your information tools to support current course activities only. Pay attention. Try not to pursue other interests during the class session.
  3. General Participation - which means being prepared for class, making observations about the readings, asking questions, actively working on in-class exercises and actively listening, writing at least one forum posting every two weeks, and commenting on a colleague's forum posting at least once during the semester. Everyone will get the chance to participate.

Module Reports

52% of your course grade will come from deliverables for five modules.

We often do not realize what we have learned until after due deliberation. Writing a module report provides you an opportunity to reflect on the readings and lectures, and reading the reports you write provides me a chance to assess to what extent you have met the learning objectives.

  1. 05% of your course grade will come from you reporting the names of and the logo for your semester-long work group.
  2. 10% of your course grade will come from a group presentation discussing the individual in the organization
  3. 10% of your course grade will come from a group presentation discussing organizational culture
  4. 10% of your course grade will come from a personal presentation discussing technology effects
  5. 10% of your course grade will come from a group presentation discussing organizational leadership
  6. 07% of your course grade will come from a discussion posting on your movie lessons learned

There will be a final exam. It will be an in-class submission of a semester

25% of your course grade wil come from the Final Exam

One of the important things we hear from employers of IS grads is that our grads have the ability to express themselves clearly and coherently in written and verbal formats. Accordingly, our evaluation tools for INLS385 are written and verbal formats.

But what kind of standard will be applied?

Subjective assessment draws upon the instructor's professionally developed awareness of quality in academic or other work. This may be essential for assessing with validity, because some outcomes require sensitivity to context and thus cannot be assessed in a fixed way across contexts. Objective assessment, in contrast, relies on quantitative scales that could apply to description of student work or performance. [IUPUI]

Therefore, grading the evaluation components for INLS385-001 is necessarily a subjective effort and a grade will generally mean the descriptors in the table below.

Your grades will be calculated using numbers for points, which will translate into letter grades according to this standard.
