Course Technology

The text is organized so that the key concepts and ideas are taught by example.  As you are working through each chapter, you can utilize the exercises in the book for practice.  It is not required that you complete the steps in the Review or Practice Excercises, however the practice is very helpful.

Organization
CISA 320 covers Chapters 1 through 4, CISA 321 covers Chapters 5 through 8

Homework
At the end of each chapter you will find a summary, a list of key terms, a multiple choice test, practice exercises and some mid-level practice exercises called Cases.  All but the Case exercises are for you use only, it is not required that you complete them.  The assignments that will be required to be completed and submitted are the Case Exercises.  There are four of these for each section.

Make sure to follow each step, and make sure to follow the steps in sequence.  Make sure that each item turned in has your name on it and make sure that the items are in the order in which they were completed.  Note: Read and follow each step carefully as sometimes the are 2 or 3 instructions to be completed for one step of the file.

There has been a great deal of confusion on what to turn in.  This is due in large part to using a newly revised book that omitted several things from the previous version.  I sincerely apologize for the confusion.  I have created a specific list of assignments that need to be submitted.  Please follow the links below to see the requirements for each case.
