Components of Course Evaluation
Multiple measures of evaluation are used in the course, allowing students opportunities to demonstrate their learning in
more than one way, and giving consideration to individual learning styles. Course components that will be evaluated
include:
Discussions
Each week students will participate in online discussions with classmates, which are related to the week’s readings. These
discussions replace the interactive dialogue that occurs in the traditional classroom setting. Each week, students’ initial
discussion posts are due by 11:59 p.m. (of the time zone in which each student resides) on Day 3 (Thursday). Students
will have until 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 (the following Monday) to make the required minimum number of response posts to
classmates. Discussions represent 25% of the overall course grade.
Assignments
Written Assignments
There is a written assignment due in Weeks One through Five of this course. You should incorporate a minimum of two
industry-related sources into each paper with at least one from ProQuest. These assignments must reflect college-level
writing and critical thinking. Assignments represent 50% of the overall course grade.
Final Project
The final assignment for this course is a Systems Analysis Report. The purpose of the Systems Analysis Report is for you
to culminate the learning achieved in the course by describing your understanding and application of knowledge in the
field of business systems through the creation of a report. The Final Project represents 25% of the overall course
grade.
Focus of the Final Project
Your systems analysis report will consist of several steps. Use the following situations to create your analysis. Include all
components in one seamless report. Your final report must be 10 - 15 pages, double-spaced, and in APA format.

You are working as a system designer for a company that manufactures heavy-duty power tools used by contractors.
Every month, your regional sales and service centers batch together the hard copy repair orders for work performed under
warranty. They are sent to headquarters, where they are run through a legacy mainframe batch process. A report is then
generated, which the engineers analyze for signs of any problem trends in the new models. The company's CEO has
decided that this process is far too slow in today's highly competitive business environment and wants to replace the
legacy system as soon as possible with something more contemporary.
To begin this assignment, research and prepare the following:
Prepare an estimated cost for client-server system alternative as illustrated in Figure 11-2.
Identify at least three candidate system solutions and describe them in a candidate systems matrix using Figures
11-6 and 11-7 as examples.
Prepare a feasibility analysis matrix, using candidate system solutions you identified and described above. Use
Figures 11-8 and 11-9 as your template, but choose the weighting factors that you feel would be most appropriate
in this situation. For purposes of this exercise, you may provide an estimate of the economic feasibility.
Once the feasibility analysis matrix has been complete, write the feasibility report to executive-level managers,
using the appropriate format shown in Figure 11-10.
Include all documents, charts, and graphs you created in preparation for this report in your final report. Your report should
include sufficient detail to demonstrate how you obtained your information and arrived at the conclusions and
recommendations.
Writing the Systems Analysis Report:
The Paper:
Must be 10 - 15 double-spaced pages in length and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford
Writing Center.
Must include a cover page that includes:
o Student’s name
o Course name and number
o Title of paper
o Instructor’s name
o Date submitted

Must conclude with a restatement of the thesis and a conclusion paragraph.
Must include at least three scholarly sources as reference. The textbook may be used as an additional reference.
Must use APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center to document all sources.
