Why isn’t this a Database Class?

Almost all AIS are built using database technology!

Almost all IS are built using database technology!

Shouldn’t we be learning how to design, build, query databases? Design - Yes

You should understand the importance of proper design of databases (using 3nf) to eliminate common data/information errors if not designed properly.

Build – No Not many accountants will actually be tasked with

building a database, that’s what the IT folks are for Query – Maybe

Like build above, most queries will be designed by the IT folks, but you should understand how they are built and how to use them.

Database UsageThere are several homework assignments

which will require you to use a database tool.

Information Characteristic Paper

Chapter 1, Table 1-1 describes certain characteristics of Information

These are described in almost every AIS textbook and almost every IS Systems Analysis and Design Textbook

But these characteristics do NOT come from the IS/IT community

They come from the Accounting community! Think about that, why do you think this is so?

The paper will address: where these characteristics were first used related to

accounting? What are the similarities/differences in the context in

which these characteristics were first described and today's Accounting Information Systems?

Limit your paper to no more than three pages.

Paper Submission / Grading

Submission will be via WebCourses link to Turnitin.com Do your own work Do NOT plagiarize Cite works properly

So if you want to incorporate something from an article you’ve found, put it in “ “ and (cite it).

Obviously if your entire paper is “ “ you will not receive a high mark Turnitin.com allows me to identify papers that are similar to

each other (if you copy each other), similar to already prepared papers (if you copy one or buy one online), or if you plagiarize, etc. So please don’t

Consequences – Paper will receive zero points Your name will be provided to Office of Student Conduct for

Cheating

Grading Be Patient it will take me some time to read and grade the 300+

papers I receive.1704/20/23ACG 4401
