"Computers in Society" (5th Edition) - Kathryn Schellenburg, Editor </DL><STRONG>Course Objectives:</STRONG><P>1. To provide an opportunity to write about and discuss matters that will have a significant impact on your future professional life. <P>2. To build your confidence in your ability to converse with people concerning technicalissues and ethics in the information systems environment.<P>3. To demonstrate your ability to analyze and write about and discuss the issues andproblems facing your chosen profession. <P>4. Develop and justify your own personal professional code of ethics. <P>5. To become sensitive to keeping abreast of major new developments in InformationSystems and in broadening your perception of your field.<P><STRONG>Seminar Activities:</STRONG><P>1. All reading assignments should be completed before the class period in which theassignment is to be discussed. This will be a prudent practice since a major part of yourgrade will be based on participation in seminar discussions. I have no preconceivedgrade distribution. It is possible for everyone in the class to get an 'A' grade. Theprocess for doing well is spelled out here in detail. I only care that there is a fair effortgiven for what ever grade is received. Fair effort means that in a 3 credit hour coursemeeting 2 times a week one should expect to put in at least three hours of preparationfor each meeting period in order to do well. Since much of the preparation is reading,the time required will be more for those without rapid reading skills.<P>2. Write a discovery paper about one page in length covering each reading assignment. These papers will indicate what you discovered in the reading assignment or within yourself as illuminated by the reading assignment. It is not intended this be a meresummarization of the articles but a thoughtful analysis of ideas you select. Be sure to listthe number of your paper using the period #'s in the day of the week column in the classschedule. These papers will be handed in at each seminar. In your format for the papermake a place for your discussion score in the upper right corner. Papers need to bemachine printed hard-copy and free of spelling and obvious grammatical errors. You willbe given feedback on the quality of your writing. Timely submission is the major criterionfor the discovery paper grade. If turned in at the discussion period when due they willreceive '3' points for a 'quality' paper. Papers lacking in 'quality'(lacking thoughtfulanalysis, spelling or obvious grammatical errors) will receive '2' points. If you must missa seminar you may receive a negotiated level of credit for the paper if advancedarrangements are negotiated with me. If no advanced arrangements are made the latepaper will only receive '1' point. Of course no paper no points.<P>3. Come to seminar prepared to discuss your discovery paper and/or the readingassignment. Regular seminar meeting times will be used to discuss concepts andinsights from your discovery papers for each day's reading assignment. The majorvariable in the determination of grade in this seminar will be the score you assign yourselffor your participation in the discussion. Participation in the discussions will be self gradedeach day and the score for the day's discussion will be handed in each period -according to the following scale: [ '0' reading assignment not competed - did notparticipate in discussion. '1' reading assignment not competed but participated in thediscussion. '2' reading assignment completed but little or no contribution to thediscussion. '3' reading assignment completed and a significant contribution to thediscussion that relates to the reading assignment.] A '3' discussion score may not betaken for any class at which you arrive late or leave early. From this grade scale you cansee that your grade is heavily impacted by whether you have read the reading assignmenteach day. You may be called upon to justify your score if it varies widely from myobservation of your participation. This will be accomplished by my changing your scoreon your paper and initialing it. When you receive the paper back, if you think I have beenunfair or overlooked your contribution see me during office hours to resolve thedifference. <P>4. One major writing assignment will be required. The major writing assignment, whichis a report of the development and justification of your own personal professional codeof ethics after the pattern of the ACM Code of Ethics. I've not seen a good job done onthis paper in less than about ten pages and being a personal code it should be writtenmainly in the first person. This paper may be handed in for a preliminary grade on or anytime prior to period # 20. It will be graded with feed-back and returned as soon aspossible. It can then be resubmitted for an improved grade based on changes needed. The deadline for this assignment is period # 25. The turning in of papers for preliminarygrade is optional.<P>5. Writing three summary papers is required as shown in the schedule. These summarypapers will address a set of questions that will relate to approximately the prior one thirdof the reading assignments.<P>Student Evaluation:<P><PRE>1. Discovery Papers 25% KEEP TRACK OF YOUR2. Discussion Scores 50% SCORES FOR BOTH 3. Three Summary Papers ea. 5% 15% YOUR DAILY PAPERS &4. Major Writing Assignment 10% DISCUSSION SCORES - _____ LIST THEM ON YOUR 100% CLASS SCHEDULE </PRE>1. If you find it necessary to be absent, be sure to negotiate with me for a grade betterthan the '0','0' which you will receive for the discussion paper and discussion score if youmiss the discussion and don't hand in the discussion paper. <P>2. The late penalty for either summary papers or the code of ethics paper will be 20%for each day late. <P>3. University standards will be upheld in this class. This includes being honest, adheringto the BYU dress standards, and following all other standards you have agreed to uphold. You must do your own work, especially on writing assignments. Be particularly sensitiveto the implicit copyright under the Bern Convention of each C S 404 paper done inprevious semesters. I have copies of many of these papers and plagiarism would begrounds for failing this course. <P>4. An education at a university requires complying with many rules and regulations. However, as much as possible I want to encourage new ways of doing things. Initiativeand creative thinking are encouraged. I hope you will enjoy learning many new conceptsand practical details. I especially hope that in the process you learn that through beinggood your capacity to do well increases. <P><PRE> GRADE BREAKDOWN FOR C S 404 A 93 - 100 C 65 - 73 A - 90 - 92 C - 60 - 64 B + 87 - 89 D + 57 - 59 B 83 - 86 D 53 - 56 B - 80 - 82 D - 50 - 52 C + 74 - 79 E BELOW 50</PRE><hr>Go to<!WA0><a href="http://www.cs.byu.edu/byu.html"><!WA1><img align=MIDDLE src="http://www.cs.byu.edu/buttons/button-to-cs.gif"></a><!WA2><a href="http://www.cs.byu.edu/byu-home.html"><!WA3><img align=MIDDLE src="http://www.cs.byu.edu/buttons/thumb-cougar.gif"></a><hr><ADDRESS>Comments to <!WA4><A HREF="http://www.cs.byu.edu/courses/cs404//webmaster.html">webmaster</a></ADDRESS></BODY></HTML>⌨️ 快捷键说明
