Data, Information, and Organizational Knowledge
The purpose of the Session Long Project in Trident University classes is to give you the opportunity to explore the applicability of the Module to your own life, work, and place in space and time, and to experiment with the Module to see how the otherwise academically rigorous presentation of a topic may, with more or less work and/or trauma, become "up close and personal". This is done in a number of different ways -- sometimes cumulative papers, sometimes practical hands-on experimentation with a tool of some sort, sometimes reflections on a place of work or life. The common thread is personal application, aimed at demonstrating a cumulative knowledge and understanding of the course's material.
Please write a 2-3 page paper, structured as follows (please use these headings):
•Define an information system and types of information systems
•Provide three examples of information systems used in real life (from your experience or from the sites you visited) and tell us what type of information systems they (for example, an information system used by a cashier in a grocery store is a transaction processing system because it registers all the transactions).
•How this is related to the learning objectives of this module?
SLP Assignment Expectations
Your assignment will be graded following these expectations:
•Precision: the questions asked are answered.
•Clarity: Your answers are clear and show your good understanding of the topic.
•Breadth and depth: The scope covered in your paper is directly related to the questions of the assignment and the learning objectives of the module.
•Applicability: once you complete the practical exercise, such as the visit to a web site or program testing, you correctly relate it to the theoretical concepts and the learning objectives of the module.
•Your paper is well written and the references are properly cited and listed (refer to the Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper).
