Course Components
Participation
In order to get the most out of this course, it is important for you to actively engage with the course materials, your peers, and me. You earn participation points by actively participating in our weekly Live Sessions. If, for some reason, your schedule or other commitment prevents you from joining in real time, don't despair. You'll have a chance to earn participation points by watching a recording of the Live Session and submitting a 'make-up' activity.
Exercises & Case Studies
Students will develop familiarity with System Applications and Products (SAP) and skills by completing guided practice of SAP tasks.
ERP Selection Simulation
Student teams take on roles in a real-world case, review materials, and then make recommendations for the best business decisions.
Risk Factors in Managing ERP Project & Presentation
Risk assessment and recommendations for a real-world ERP scenario. Students will complete a risk register assessment, write a CEO Memo based on the register, and present their findings to the class during the final Live Session.
Course Policies
Communication
The best way to get a hold of me is through email. I will generally respond within 24 hours M-F. I will try to respond as quickly as possible during the weekends but it may not be until the tail-end of the weekend before you receive a response. I am open for appointments to discuss issues via Zoom. Please contact me about setting up zoom appointments if needed.
For general questions about the course, feel free to use the Course Help Board. For anything private (grades, special accommodation, group issues), please contact me directly. I am most accessible via e-mail as I check my e-mail throughout the day. Please put MIT-5692 in the email subject line.
I will do my best to respond to you within 24 hours, but it may take me longer over the weekend.
Late Policy
I will accept late work but there will be a 10% deduction. Contact me as soon as possible in the event that you experience extenuating circumstances that will affect your ability to turn assignments in on time.
Incomplete Grade
A grade of I (for incomplete) will not be given under normal circumstances. Not performing well in class, not being able to complete an assignment in time or being out of town during a test are inadequate reasons for requesting or granting an incomplete. Only circumstances beyond your control (such as a severe illness), which will need to be documented, may warrant a grade of I.
