BUA 3305: MIS Analysis and Design
Journal Assignments Guidelines and Rubric Overview:? Journal entries will be assigned in each module in this course and will prepare you for the discussion assignments in each module. For each journal entry, you will analyze a specific technology to explain what the technology is, why it is important, its business significance, and its social and/or ethical implications. The purpose of the journal entry assignments is to demonstrate that you can link technology to the business side, so it is essential that your analysis focuses on linking and synthesizing information learned in this course to the greater body of knowledge related to computer-based information systems. Guidelines for Submission:? Journal entries should be at least three paragraphs in length and include references to supporting exhibits and sources as appropriate, including the URLs for any websites you used in preparing your analysis.
Rubric Instructor Feedback:? This activity uses an integrated rubric in Blackboard. Students can view instructor feedback in the Grade Center.
