Abstract

Most university business programs require an entry level general information systems course. Although students usually have some computer knowledge, they tend to lack the skills to adequately use business related software for analytical purposes. This paper shows the improvement in an introduction to MIS course over different semesters by utilizing Chickering and Gamson’s seven principles for good practice in undergraduate education. The study compares student perceptions of course value at the end of the semester after completing the introductory course. The results suggest that the use of Internetbased technologies and incorporation of exercises related to upper division course provided better motivation for students to learn material than courses that were text-book only based courses.
