BMIS 601 - Decision Making and Executive Information Systems

BMIS 601 Discussion Board Forums (4)

There will be 4 Discussion Board Forums throughout the course. The purpose of Discussion Board Forums is to generate interaction among classmates in regards to relevant current course topics and to provide the student with a platform to present his/her research to an audience of his/her peers. The student is required to post 1 thread with a minimum of 1,000 words. The format of the thread must not be informal; rather, the format must be that of a research paper. Depth of analysis and comprehensiveness of your literature review are important factors. The student is also required to reply to 2 classmates’ threads with a minimum of 500 words. For each Discussion Board Forum, the student must support his/her assertions in the thread with at least 5 citations in APA format. Each reply must cite at least 3 sources. Acceptable sources include the textbook, the Bible, additional required readings, and other peer-reviewed journal articles.
