MGMT 515 Computer Science Final Exam
Instructions
This exam constitutes 25% of your total grade. You must submit your assignment in Moodle by midnight of the last day of class.
If you make fair use of published materials in forming your responses, remember to include an appropriate citation. Use APA style. Failure to properly cite the work of others will result in a reduction of your grade.
Remember that the materials presented in this course are sufficient to craft cogent responses to these questions. If you chose to use external references, e.g., the Internet, remember that these responses will receive greater scrutiny and any hint of plagiarism will result in a grade of zero.
If I ask for a response, “In your own words,” any response that appears to be copied from any source will receive a score of zero!
Poor grammar and spelling will reduce your grade up to 10%. If American English is not your first language, I recommend that you have someone with strong English skills review your work. The differences between American and British English will not count against you.
If your response is based solely on the course content, you may use “Course content” as your citation.
