ISPM 461 provides students the fundamental skills to develop
Internet sites to conduct business on the World Wide Web. E-
Business is characterized by the merging of Internet
technologies and database technologies. As such, this course
focuses on skills needed to build environments (such as
electronic storefronts) that allow consumers or organizations
to conduct business (such as place orders) at a website that is
integrated with other business processing systems by means
of a database management system.

Students are required to read the assigned textbook chapters
and other materials before the topics are covered in class.
Students are required to attend every class. You are
responsible for all of the material that is covered as well as all
announcements that were made in class.
There will be a well-maintained Web site for this course.
Students are required to check the site several times each
week. Scores and other important will be made available via
Blackboard.
Class time will be devoted to hands-on student exercises.
Students are encouraged to use this time wisely and
productively.
The class will be conducted in an interactive manner and will
include both lectures and discussion - MOSTLY HANDS-ON
EXERCISES. Student preparation and participation is required
to support the understanding and application of concepts.
Asking the right question is often more important than giving
the correct answer.
Name cards are required in every class. Failure to display your
name card will result in loss of participation points for that
day.
Students are not allowed to eat or drink in the classroom - it’s
bad for the computers.
Sets of exercises will be assigned. Some will be completed in
class and some as homework. To earn credit, problem sets
must be turned in at (or before) their due date and time.
Learning cannot happen without feedback. The quicker
students get feedback the better. For this reason, I use the
Internet to post solutions to most homework assignments
when they are due. This leaves no room for late assignments.

the MTC door and on the Freeman School's Web site. If you do
not have an account on the Freeman School's network, get
one. The MTC tends to become crowded just before
assignments are due and near the end of each semester. Do
your work early.
Any student with a disability in need of course or examination
accommodations should request accommodations through the
University’s Office of Disability Services located in the
Mechanical Engineering Building. Please do this as soon as
possible. Please provide a copy of your approved
accommodation form from ODS to each professor in whose
course you wish to receive accommodations. The course
instructor is committed to working with the Office of Disability
Services to ensure that all approved accommodations are
provided. If you do not deliver the approved accommodation
form to each professor, your professors will not know you
have been approved to receive accommodations and will have
no basis for providing those accommodations.
If you believe that you require special accommodations for
taking the exam and you have not already requested or been
approved for those accommodations, please see the Office of
Disability Services immediately. Also, if you have been
approved to receive exam accommodations, please consider
contacting the Office of Disability Services to confirm those
accommodations. More details, including student
responsibilities, at http://erc.tulane.edu/disability/
An exciting and necessary part of college life occurs when
students and faculty consider the ideas of others to form their
own ideas: we read them in texts, listen to them in lectures,
discuss them in class, and use them in our own writing.
However, when you use another’s ideas, you must cite your
source. By citing your source, you differentiate between your
ideas and those of another, make the source of your ideas
clear, and give the proper credit. Therefore, plagiarism is using
another's ideas, words, computer code or any work of another,
including specific help from someone in writing a paper,
without clearly acknowledging the source of that information
and then passing those ideas, words, computer code or work
of another off as your own even if those ideas are paraphrased
in your own words.
Plagiarism is dishonest, cheating and a violation of the
Freeman Honor Code. Examples of material that you must cite
include, but are not limited to: published works (books,
textbooks, magazines, newspapers, movies, plays, photos,
paintings, and websites) and unpublished sources (class
lectures, class notes, class slides, handouts, other students'
papers, material from a research service, speeches or
assistance in writing a paper), as well as original ideas,

strategies, research, art, graphics, computer programs, music,
and other creative expression that may consist of writing,
charts, diagrams, graphs, pictures, data, websites, or other
communication or recording media, innovative terminology,
formatting, or other representations.
Students who cheat in this class can expect to feel the full
impact of the Freeman Honor Code.
Additional pop quizzes and/or extra credit assignments may be
given during the course of the semester.
