Every two to three weeks, I will open a tech forum with several discussion questions. Each tech forum focuses on a particular IT-related topic and may consist of multiple discussion questions. You are welcome to participate in any or all of the discussion questions. You will earn 1 extra point for each post, up to 10 points in each tech forum. Typically, each forum will be open for two weeks. No postings are allowed after a forum is closed. To participate, please go to Tools > Discussion Board. Be sure to read the Forum Participation Guidelines first and then review the materials (videos and articles) for Tech Forum.\n\nHelp center\nThere is a new content area \"Help Center\" on the blackboard that contains short videos/instructions for trouble-shooting and frequently asked questions. I will continue to add new videos and/or written instructions to the help center. If you have questions or encounter issues on the assignments, please refer to the help center first. If you can't find answers in the help center, please email me your questions with detailed information and if possible, include screenshots as well.\n\nLearning Unit 4:\n\nWe are starting Excel modules this week. Please refer to Learning Unit 4 on the blackboard and complete the following tasks by the due dates:\nMIS 11 Modules 7 & 8 quiz due by Sunday, 2/25\nExcel Module 8 training, exam, and project 1a due by Sunday 3/3\nFor learning and practice purposes, please watch the demo of Excel Module 8 textbook project available in the Unit 4 folder.\nAs a reminder, you can still earn extra credit by participating in Tech Forum 2 - Generative AI. This forum will be closed on Sunday, 2/25.\u00a0 \n\nHow your final grade is calculated:\nThere are several new items added to your gradebook. These items are calculated based on the grading criteria illustrated in the syllabus. There are 6 weighted scores (100 points each) for the 2 Access modules and 4 Excel modules. Each module accounts for 100 points that are distributed among the following three items:\n\nTraining: 10 points\nExam: 40 points\nProject: 50 points\n\nThe \"Total Points\" item in your gradeboook is the total points (out of 1000 points) you have received so far. \"Total points\" is calculated by summing the following items:\n\nQuizzes 1-6: 300 points\nAccess Module 9 (weighted): 100 points\nAccess Module 10 (weighted): 100 points\nExcel Module 8 (weighted): 100 points\nExcel Module 9 (weighted): 100 points\nExcel Module 10 (weighted): 100 points\nExcel Module 11 (weighted): 100 points\nExcel Modules 5-8 capstone Project: 100 points\n\nExcel Modules 5-8 Capstone Project\n\nThe Excel Modules 5-8 Capstone Project is available for those of you who would like to get a head start.
