K201 reminders before 2nd class session


Before the 2nd class session please complete the following:
1.  1st Day Participation answers emailed in Canvas Messages to your instructor
2.  Complete the Canvas Quiz 1 & 2 before class starts
3.  Read the chapters Management Information Systems (MIS) 1 & 2 before class to learn the most and to determine your questions. (pdf files for Chapters 1 & 2 in Canvas Files if needed)
4.  Print or open in MS Word the Canvas, Files document called MIS Exam 1 Keyword List.pdf so you are ready to take notes during the class lectures for the MIS Exam 1.
5.  Bring a USB drive (with your last name written on it in case you forget it in the classroom) so we can copy the files from the Q:\ drive you will need to be successful in K201 this semester.
6.  Setup your Cengage Unlimited account by completing the steps below.  Note:  There is a PowerPoint attached that gives you a general overview of Cengage Unlimited in case that is helpful.
