Abstract
Many larger companies have offices located around the world.
This can create challenges for
employees to stay connected with each other. A common
platform is needed for the companies to share
news, department updates, and other vital information. An
intranet system enables companies to have a
common platform where employees can stay connected even
though they are in different places. Global
TPA is a large company and needs a common platform such as
the intranet system. This system was
developed using web-based application and is monitored and
maintained regularly. This system has many
benefits and makes it easier for the employees to stay
connected, especially because it is easy to use by
everyone. Even though the outcome was positive from this
system, there are many potential areas in the
system that can be furthered. This system is a rudimentary step
for bigger companies and more research
would help companies communicate easily and efficiently.

Introduction
Global TPA offers healthcare insurance through Freedom
Health, Optimum care and
Americas1st choice company. Freedom Healthcare Company
offers Medicare and Medicaid
health care insurance. The company has multiple locations: the
corporate office, HR office, and
customer service/ call centers in India. All departments are in
different locations.
Many organizations need a common platform where everybody
can access information,
share information, and/or get required information. Intranet
system can be used as a common
platform. Simply defined, an intranet system is a secure website
that contains private information
intended for a specific audience of organization. The Intranet
system is the best platform,
because without login they can access all forms, document,
power point presentation, videos, and
applications of government site. This system shows all
departments company holiday’s list,
Special offers, Frequently Asked Question (FAQ), compliance,
policy and procedure, training,
forms, news, products and important external website links.
Because employees for Freedom
Healthcare are in different places, the Intranet will provide a
facility to see and get information.
Employees can download forms, important document, event
information, and videos.
Statement of the Problem
Global TPA is a very fast growing company with offices in
many different locations. They don’t
have a common system for employees to access and share
information about the company,
Medicare, Medicaid, compliance, policy and procedure and
training. Instead, employees must
contact other departments and/or coworkers for such
information. This becomes an issue as it
takes away from employee productivity. The intranet system
will help the company and its
employees operate more efficiently.

Literature Review
Literature review is a combination of synthesis and summaries
of information from
different sources that is associated with this topic. These
sources can vary anywhere from books,
articles, journals, blogs, other web-pages, and e-books. Many of
these sources had the same
problem, which was the lack of a common platform for larger
companies. One solution that was
common in these sources was the use of an internal system for
companies. There are some
existing systems that allow for internal communication and
sharing. Systems such as SharePoint
and Biz talk server are often used by companies, however, these
intranet solutions are costly and
require skilled developers.
Project geeks source shows a project that uses Java for intranet
system. In this project,
employees were able to privately communicate with each other
without the internet connection.
Many employees often use other outside server such as g-talk,
yahoo messenger, however, with
intranet system, employees can communicate with each other
using a common platform. This
also allows companies to have a professional environment when
using intra-communication
outlets. The system was accessed using a unique IP address and
the same idea would be
incorporated in the intranet system used by Global TPA.
One of the problems with existing system is that sending
documents to one department
from another can be time-consuming. Employees have to
manually send documentation and
having an intranet system would allow for secure sharing. This
problem in existing system is
taken into account and would be incorporated in the intranet
system for Global TPA.
Objective
The main goal and objective was to develop an Intranet system
to help Global TPA
employees. The employees can share and access the company’s
information and other crucial
3
information while being able to connect to all other departments
through the intranet portal. This
allowed them to work more efficiently through a single source
application.
Methodology
Deciding on the correct methodology is important for the
project to be successfully completed on
time. This decision depends on the company’s policy, budget,
culture, team member knowledge,
and comfort level. Waterfall is a standard methodology to
implement software projects and it is
easy to use by all team members. A technical feasibility study
and an economic feasibility study
are also essential, and the company used the .Net MVC
technology for this project. The company
did not have .Net MVC expert developer member in the team,
however, the team learned quickly
and adjusted readily. The Intranet portal was very inexpensive
when compared to other
readymade software available on the market, especially since
the company is using their own
internal resources. This type of application system’s
development life cycle (SDLC, Figure 1) is
divided into 8 steps. The project scope is limited to the five
departments and eight functions of
the organization. This portal can be accessed by company
employees using company’s network
anywhere at any time and also from different locations using the
company’s VPN.
Project Conception and Initiation
The project is examined carefully to determine the costs and
benefits in order to predict the
project’s duration. In this stage, the feasibility of the proj ect is
determined through discussion
with different department stakeholders. Once stakeholders
agree with the terms of the project, a
project charter, outlining the purpose and requirements, of the
project is created. This step does
not focus on technical requirements.

Planning
The planning phase is essential for a successful project. For this
project planning, the S.M.A.R.T.
(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely)
method is utilized. During this phase,
cost, quality, resources, and time are defined along with the
baseline and performance measures.
These performance measures are created using scope, schedule,
and cost of a project. This step
would also be used to determine the type of hardware, software,
and HR needed for this project.
Also, the type of architecture, technology, and database is
decided in this step (Table 1).

Table 1 Planning step
Requirement Gathering and Analysis
In this step, the business analyst gathers the requirements from
business users. A business analyst
must set up meetings with the business owner and asks the
universal questions: when, who, why,
and how. If stake-holders are not available, then telephone
conference or a JAD session must be
arranged. The analyst should use a tool case to understand the
requirements and then conduct a
gap analysis and reengineering of process, if required. When
these requirements are complex,
they must be divided into sections to make it easy to
understand. The analyst would then create a
use case to understand the current system and explain the
proposed system design. Then the
functional and non-functional requirements must be gathered.
Functional requirements include
6
all business rules and non-functional requirements include
access to web server, database server
and security.

and remove news from intranet
portal using intranet portal management page. All news has a

This course will use a variety of learning experiences to attain
the course objectives,
including but not limited to: lecture, quizzes, online discussion,
case study,
assessment strategies, group and individual exercises, and team
and individual
presentation.
Discussions: There will be a discussion question/activity posted
weekly by the
instructor for course modules on the course Discussion Forum.
Participation in the
discussions is strongly encouraged and will be factored into
your participation score.
It is recommended to login to this course at least 4 days each
online week. You are
required to post at least 3 times each week. For the discussion
board questions, you
must answer the question 100%. The answer should be based on
the knowledge
obtained from reading the book, no just your opinion. If there
are 2 questions in the
discussion, you must answer both of them. Your grade will be
an average of both
questions.

Students are also required to know the expectations or
“etiquette” that pertains to the
discussion board. Students who abuse this forum by making
harassing,
inappropriate or abusive statements will be removed and receive
a zero (0).
Remember, your participation is essential to connecting with
other students and
developing an online learning community. Further, often it is
the deciding factor
between receiving a higher or lower grade at the end of the
term. Discussion
questions account for 10% of your final grade.
Discussion Question (DQ) Participation Guidelines:
Students must post a minimum of three times in each graded
discussion. The three
posts in each individual discussion must be on separate days,
the initial answer and
two responses to peers. The student must provide an initial
answer to the graded
discussion posted by the course instructor, by Wednesday, 11:59
p.m. EST, of each
week. If the student does not provide an answer to each graded
discussion topic (not
a response to a student peer) before the Wednesday deadline, an
automatic “0” will
be issued for that week’s DQ. Subsequent posts, including
essential responses to
peers, must occur by the Sunday deadline, 11:59 p.m. EST of
each week.
NOTE: To receive credit for a week's discussion, students may
begin posting no
earlier than the Monday at 12:01 a.m. EST.
*Credit for peer responses will be issued via the DQ rubric if
peer responses are made
without an initial DQ response.
*See Discussion Question (DQ) Rubric on next page (Rubrics
contain evaluative
criteria, quality definitions for those criteria at particular levels
of achievement, and a
scoring strategy).
Discussion Question (DQ) Submission Guidelines:
Students must submit their initial, weekly DQ post in two
separate areas. First, the
student will submit their initial response via that week’s
assignment link provided
under the assignments tab as a Microsoft Word document. Once
this is done, the
student will then copy and paste their answer onto that week’s
DQ thread under the
Discussions tab. Thereafter, all discussions and peer replies
will be conducted via
the DQ board. Failure to submit your initial DQ response to
BOTH the assignments
tab and the DQ thread will result in a “0” for that week’s DQ.
Note: All DQ submissions will be monitored for plagiarism.

Assignment: Specific assignments, their due dates, and grading
criteria are listed in
this syllabus and on the assignment tab. You are accountable for
both individual and
group assignments and for providing a significant contribution
in a valuable way to
it. You are also responsible for completing all assignments
including written papers,
presentations, and class discussions. You will be graded on the
achievement of the
objectives, not on the effort you put into your assignments. All
online discussions,
written assignments and documentation of others' ideas and
words in presentations
must be in APA 6th edition format. Papers cannot be rewritten
and assignments
cannot be re-given in an attempt to obtain a higher grade.
Late Assignments: Due dates are established for reasons of
equity. It is not fair to
peers who complete assignments on time if other classmates
have extra time to work
on their assignments. Late assignments are not permitted.
Research Project (Group Assignment): Students will be
randomly distributed into
groups by blackboard system. Students in a designated group
will work together as a
team with high level of respect and collaboration to achieve the
objectives of the
project. Teamwork accounts for 10% of the grade. The topic of
the group research
project will be automatically assigned. Topic will be selected
from any chapter in the
syllabus. Students will develop a research project with a
minimum of 2000 words/4
pages single spaced (Times New Roman, Size 12), and 5
references about that topic. A
formal paper must be submitted via Assignment forum (Group
Project tab) as an
attachment in APA format according to Publication Manual
American Psychological
Association (APA) (6th ed.).2009 ISBN: 978-1-4338-0561-5.
This especial assignment
will be considered as the research project for the class. The
criteria exposed in your
paperwork must be exclusively based on peer reviewed article,
and I will be very fussy
in confirming the reliability of your statements. Please, see

under the assignments tab. This paperwork must be submitted
on week #12. You will
have plenty of time to start collecting literature for the research
project. This
assignment has a value of 100 points and accounts for 20% of
the final grade.
Quizzes: There will be a quiz weekly. Each quiz will evaluate
the content of that week
usually one or two chapters for week (usually 25 to 35
questions: multiple choice,
true and false, multiple answers and fill in the blank type
questions. Quizzes account
for 20% of your final grade
Midterm Test: This exam consists of 50 to 60 questions
(multiple choice, true and
false, multiple answers and fill in the blank type questions)
(Chapter 1 through
Chapter 11). Midterm exam accounts for 20% of your final
grade.
Final Test: Final test will include 50 to 75 questions (multiple
choice, true and
false, multiple answers and fill in the blank type questions).
Final test evaluates the
content of the whole semester (Chapter 1 through Chapter 17).
Final exam accounts
for 20% of your final grade.
Course Reflection: Course reflection assignment is part of the
portfolio that students
must complete during last class of the program. This assignment
is due on week #15.
Please, read carefully the Course Reflection Guidelines that you
will find under the
assignments tab – week #15. This assignment has a value of 100
points and

STUDENT CODE OF ETHICS
Cheating or plagiarism is dishonest, undermines the necessary
trust upon which
relations between students and faculty are based, and is
unacceptable conduct.
Students who engage in cheating or plagiarism will be subject
to academic
sanctions, including a lowered or failing grade in a course; and
the possibility of
an additional administrative sanction, including probation,
suspension, or
expulsion. Cheating is the act of obtaining or attempting to
obtain credit for
academic work by using dishonest means. Cheating at FNC
includes but is not
limited to: Copying, in part or whole from another's
examination, paper,
mathematical analysis, research or creative project, or the like;
Submitting as
one's own work an examination, paper, mathematical analysis,
research or
creative project, or the like which has been purchased,
borrowed, or stolen; or
fabricating data; Consulting notes, sources, or materials not
specifically
authorized by the instructor during an examination; Employing
a surrogate to
take an examination, write a paper, do mathematical analysis, or
complete, in part
or wholly, an evaluation instrument; Aiding or abetting any act
that a reasonable
person would conclude, when informed of the evidence, to be a
dishonest means
of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work;
and committing any
act that a reasonable person would conclude, when informed of
the evidence, to be
a dishonest means of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for
academic work.
Plagiarism is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit
for academic work
by representing the work of another as one's own without the
necessary and
appropriate acknowledgment. More specifically, plagiarism is:
The act of
incorporating the ideas, words of sentences, paragraphs, or parts
thereof without
appropriate acknowledgment and representing the product as
one's own work;
and The act of representing another's intellectual work such as
musical
composition, computer program, photographs, painting,
drawing, sculpture, or
research or the like as one's own. If a student is in doubt about
the nature of
plagiarism, he/she should discuss the matter with the course
instructor. Theft -
Copying computer programs owned, leased, or rented by the
University for use by
the student in his or her course of studies is considered theft
and will be dealt
with according to the laws covering such actions and to the
University norms for
disciplinary actions. In cases like these, the Campus Dean will
convene a Hearing
Committee which will hear, investigate and render a report to
the Campus Dean.
This Committee will be composed of three members from the
faculty or staff.
According to the findings, the Campus Dean has the choice to
make a decision. If
this decision is not acceptable to those involved, a petition to
the Dean to appoint
an Honor Court must be signed by at least three people. The
Honor Court
procedure is explained in the Student Handbook.
Religious Holidays
Religious holidays are an excused absence, but not beyond the
day for the holiday
itself. Students should make their requests known at the
beginning of the
semester and arrangements must be made with the faculty
member for missed
work.

SPECIFIC FORMATTING FEATURES
Preliminary Material
The formats used for preliminary material (Title Page through
List of Figures, or List of
Plates) are illustrated in the example pages provided in
Appendix A of the Thesis and Major
Paper Guide. Students should follow these examples carefully in
preparing these preliminary
pages.
Margins
The margins on all four sides of every page must be a minimum
of 1 inch. Only page
numbers (placed upper right in a header) are placed outside of
the margins. The required margins
apply to tables and figures as well as the text, and they apply to
all pages, including preliminary
material and appendices.
Page Numbers
All pages of the thesis are counted with the exception of the
blank or copyright page that
follows the Title Page. All preliminary pages (all pages prior to
the Introduction) should be
numbered with lower case Roman numerals (ii). The only
exception is the Title Page, which is
assigned a page number (i.e., counted as page i), but it is not
paginated (no page number is
shown). Beginning with Introduction, and continuing through
the References and any
appendices, all pages are counted and paginated (with some
exceptions) with Arabic numerals
(2, 3). The only page that is not paginated is the page (if
present) labeled “Appendices” or
“Appendix”.
Page numbers, whether Roman or Arabic numerals, are placed at
the upper-right corner
of the page. They should be located inside the right-hand
margin. To set the page number in
4
Microsoft Word, use Insert/Page Number/Top of Page--Plain
Number 3. The page number can
then be formatted as needed (to be either lowercase Roman
numerals or Arabic numerals).
Changing the type of page number (Roman numerals to Arabic
numerals) or omitting the
page number from a page requires use of a section break within
word processing programs. The
places that require a section break are before (transitioning to)
the first page of each chapter and
before the page (if included) labeled “Appendices” or
“Appendix.” The section break should be
inserted after typing on the preceding page is completed. In
Microsoft Word, select… Page
Layout/ Break /Section break – next page. The cursor will move
to the top of the next page, and
the section number increases by one. The section break allows
the pages of different sections,
including headers and footers, to be formatted differently.
To set the type of page number to be used: Double-click in the
header area, to activate the
headers and footers. In the Header and Footer section of the
Formatting Palette, select… Format
Page number. In the window that appears, you can choose the
format of the page numbers.
Within the preliminary materials section, select the i, ii, iii…
format. In the Headings the APA
Manual defines five possible levels of headings. However, in
most reports or projects, all five
levels will not be needed. Headings help readers navigate the
report or project; but using too
many levels can be more intrusive than helpful. The five levels
of headings set forth in the APA
Manual are formatted as follows:
Level 1 centered, boldface, uppercase and lowercase
(capitalized) heading.
Level 2 flush left, boldface, uppercase and lowercase
(capitalized) heading.
Level 3 indented, boldface, lowercase (only first word
capitalized) paragraph heading,
ends with a period.
5
Level 4 indented, boldface, italicized, lowercase (only first
word capitalized) paragraph
heading, ends with a period.
Level 5 indented, italicized, lowercase (only first word
capitalized) paragraph heading,
ends with a period.
These heading formats outlined in the APA Manual 6th edition
differ from those outlined
in the 5th edition. In a report or project, the highest level
heading is used to title the chapter. Both
the chapter number (e.g., Chapter 1) and the title of the chapter
(e.g., Introduction) are
considered to be part of the same heading, even though they are
typed on separate lines, double-
spaced.
Typeface and Spacing
The MSIS Faculty prefers Times New Roman or Arial.
Acceptable font sizes are 10 pt
and 12 pt. For Times New Roman and Arial, 12 pt text works
best; 10-pt text is rather small, and
more difficult to read. The same typeface must be used
throughout the report or project, with the
exceptions of lettering that is part of the body of a figure and
material in appendices, for which a
different typeface may be used. One additional excepti on to the
font size requirement relates to
table notes, which may be a smaller font (e.g., 10-pt Times New
Roman).
Text should be written using left justification (i.e., text aligned
with left margin, except
when indented). Full justification, which spreads the text to
align with both the left and right
margins, should not be used.
The MSIS Faculty prefers double spacing throughout the
document. However,
appropriate use of larger line spacing (triple or quadruple) in
some places can improve the
readability of the reports or projects. Triple line spacing (two
blank lines) is required above
and/or below tables that appear on a page with normal text, to
more clearly offset them from the
6
text. Larger line spacing (triple spacing should suffice) may
also precede headings, particularly
higher-level headings. Consistency in spacing is the key.
In Text Citation and Reference Page
The MSIS Faculty has agreed on a modified APA format. Each
reference should be listed in
alphabetical order, according to proper APA format, on the
reference page and numbered. The
carry over line will be indented such that it aligns with the first
line. Examples follow:
1. Baker, E. J. (2011). Household preparedness for the
Aftermath of Hurricanes in
Florida, Applied Geography, 31, 46-52.
2. Carleton, R. N., Collimore, K. C., & Asmundson, J. G. J.
(2010). It’s not just the
judgements—It’s that I don’t know: Intolerance of uncertainty
as a predictor of social
anxiety, Journal of Anxiety Disorders, 24, 189–195.
The number will be used as the in text citation and the number
enclosed in brackets [1]. The
numbers will not be in numerical order in your document, rather
will refer to the listing on the
reference page. For example:
Baker [1] found that preparedness was strongly related to
factors like income level, home
ownership, race, age, and type of housing.

An intranet system enables companies to have a common platform where employees can stay connected even though they are in different places. Global
  • 3. TPA is a large company and needs a common platform such as the intranet system. This system was developed using web-based application and is monitored and maintained regularly. This system has many benefits and makes it easier for the employees to stay connected, especially because it is easy to use by everyone. Even though the outcome was positive from this system, there are many potential areas in the system that can be furthered. This system is a rudimentary step for bigger companies and more research would help companies communicate easily and efficiently. v Acknowledgement This project was implemented successfully with the help of many. Some of the people who helped me through this project were the project manager, Vice- President, and President of the Global TPA, Freedom healthcare. With the support of my team members, and testers we were able to deliver the project on time and with limited budget. Also, I was able to apply the ideas and knowledge presented in

  • 10. 1 Introduction Global TPA offers healthcare insurance through Freedom Health, Optimum care and Americas1st choice company. Freedom Healthcare Company offers Medicare and Medicaid health care insurance. The company has multiple locations: the corporate office, HR office, and customer service/ call centers in India. All departments are in different locations. Many organizations need a common platform where everybody can access information, share information, and/or get required information. Intranet system can be used as a common platform. Simply defined, an intranet system is a secure website that contains private information
  • 11. intended for a specific audience of organization. The Intranet system is the best platform, because without login they can access all forms, document, power point presentation, videos, and applications of government site. This system shows all departments company holiday’s list, Special offers, Frequently Asked Question (FAQ), compliance, policy and procedure, training, forms, news, products and important external website links. Because employees for Freedom Healthcare are in different places, the Intranet will provide a facility to see and get information. Employees can download forms, important document, event information, and videos. Statement of the Problem Global TPA is a very fast growing company with offices in many different locations. They don’t
  • 12. have a common system for employees to access and share information about the company, Medicare, Medicaid, compliance, policy and procedure and training. Instead, employees must contact other departments and/or coworkers for such information. This becomes an issue as it takes away from employee productivity. The intranet system will help the company and its employees operate more efficiently. 2 Literature Review Literature review is a combination of synthesis and summaries of information from
  • 13. different sources that is associated with this topic. These sources can vary anywhere from books, articles, journals, blogs, other web-pages, and e-books. Many of these sources had the same problem, which was the lack of a common platform for larger companies. One solution that was common in these sources was the use of an internal system for companies. There are some existing systems that allow for internal communication and sharing. Systems such as SharePoint and Biz talk server are often used by companies, however, these intranet solutions are costly and require skilled developers. Project geeks source shows a project that uses Java for intranet system. In this project, employees were able to privately communicate with each other
  • 14. without the internet connection. Many employees often use other outside server such as g-talk, yahoo messenger, however, with intranet system, employees can communicate with each other using a common platform. This also allows companies to have a professional environment when using intra-communication outlets. The system was accessed using a unique IP address and the same idea would be incorporated in the intranet system used by Global TPA. One of the problems with existing system is that sending documents to one department from another can be time-consuming. Employees have to manually send documentation and having an intranet system would allow for secure sharing. This problem in existing system is
  • 15. taken into account and would be incorporated in the intranet system for Global TPA. Objective The main goal and objective was to develop an Intranet system to help Global TPA employees. The employees can share and access the company’s information and other crucial 3 information while being able to connect to all other departments through the intranet portal. This allowed them to work more efficiently through a single source application. Methodology Deciding on the correct methodology is important for the project to be successfully completed on
  • 16. time. This decision depends on the company’s policy, budget, culture, team member knowledge, and comfort level. Waterfall is a standard methodology to implement software projects and it is easy to use by all team members. A technical feasibility study and an economic feasibility study are also essential, and the company used the .Net MVC technology for this project. The company did not have .Net MVC expert developer member in the team, however, the team learned quickly and adjusted readily. The Intranet portal was very inexpensive when compared to other readymade software available on the market, especially since the company is using their own internal resources. This type of application system’s development life cycle (SDLC, Figure 1) is
  • 17. divided into 8 steps. The project scope is limited to the five departments and eight functions of the organization. This portal can be accessed by company employees using company’s network anywhere at any time and also from different locations using the company’s VPN. Project Conception and Initiation The project is examined carefully to determine the costs and benefits in order to predict the project’s duration. In this stage, the feasibility of the proj ect is determined through discussion with different department stakeholders. Once stakeholders agree with the terms of the project, a project charter, outlining the purpose and requirements, of the project is created. This step does not focus on technical requirements.

  • 19. Figure 1 Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Diagram Planning The planning phase is essential for a successful project. For this project planning, the S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely) method is utilized. During this phase, cost, quality, resources, and time are defined along with the baseline and performance measures. These performance measures are created using scope, schedule, and cost of a project. This step would also be used to determine the type of hardware, software, and HR needed for this project. Also, the type of architecture, technology, and database is decided in this step (Table 1).

A business analyst must set up meetings with the business owner and asks the universal questions: when, who, why, and how. If stake-holders are not available, then telephone conference or a JAD session must be arranged. The analyst should use a tool case to understand the requirements and then conduct a gap analysis and reengineering of process, if required. When these requirements are complex,
  • 26. they must be divided into sections to make it easy to understand. The analyst would then create a use case to understand the current system and explain the proposed system design. Then the functional and non-functional requirements must be gathered. Functional requirements include 6 all business rules and non-functional requirements include access to web server, database server and security. All department supervisors, including administrators, can post and remove news from intranet portal using intranet portal management page. All news has a start date and an end date, with start dates matching with the current date will show automatic

Discussions: There will be a discussion question/activity posted weekly by the instructor for course modules on the course Discussion Forum. Participation in the discussions is strongly encouraged and will be factored into your participation score. It is recommended to login to this course at least 4 days each online week. You are required to post at least 3 times each week. For the discussion board questions, you must answer the question 100%. The answer should be based on the knowledge obtained from reading the book, no just your opinion. If there are 2 questions in the discussion, you must answer both of them. Your grade will be an average of both questions.
  • 60. 4 Students are also required to know the expectations or “etiquette” that pertains to the discussion board. Students who abuse this forum by making harassing, inappropriate or abusive statements will be removed and receive a zero (0). Remember, your participation is essential to connecting with other students and developing an online learning community. Further, often it is the deciding factor between receiving a higher or lower grade at the end of the term. Discussion questions account for 10% of your final grade. Discussion Question (DQ) Participation Guidelines: Students must post a minimum of three times in each graded discussion. The three posts in each individual discussion must be on separate days,
  • 61. the initial answer and two responses to peers. The student must provide an initial answer to the graded discussion posted by the course instructor, by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. EST, of each week. If the student does not provide an answer to each graded discussion topic (not a response to a student peer) before the Wednesday deadline, an automatic “0” will be issued for that week’s DQ. Subsequent posts, including essential responses to peers, must occur by the Sunday deadline, 11:59 p.m. EST of each week. NOTE: To receive credit for a week's discussion, students may begin posting no earlier than the Monday at 12:01 a.m. EST. *Credit for peer responses will be issued via the DQ rubric if peer responses are made without an initial DQ response. *See Discussion Question (DQ) Rubric on next page (Rubrics contain evaluative criteria, quality definitions for those criteria at particular levels

First, the student will submit their initial response via that week’s assignment link provided under the assignments tab as a Microsoft Word document. Once this is done, the student will then copy and paste their answer onto that week’s DQ thread under the Discussions tab. Thereafter, all discussions and peer replies will be conducted via the DQ board. Failure to submit your initial DQ response to BOTH the assignments tab and the DQ thread will result in a “0” for that week’s DQ. Note: All DQ submissions will be monitored for plagiarism.

  • 93. FORMAT GUIDELINES FOR MSIS PAPERS AND FINAL PROJECT General Guidelines All papers written for any MSIS course will follow these guidelines (see the Specific Formatting Features section for more detail). • double spaced • no paragraph or page border • no extra space before or after each line or between paragraphs, extra space can be left before or after a table/figure/chart (see paragraph menu for options, by default MS Word adds extra space after a paragraph, ensure you set that to 0 before and 0 after) • all text should be in black, no special colors
  • 94. • headers/footers maybe used in course papers except for the final paper in BIT 595 • Times New Roman or Arial are acceptable fonts and 12pt • tables/charts/graphs should be single spaced and can be presented landscape and in smaller point size • all tables/charts/graphs must have a caption, placed after the discussion, and listed in the appropriate List of Figures, Tables, or Charts. o use the caption feature o change the color of the font to black and the size to the same in the document • use hard return (ctrl enter) to create a page break, do not use several returns to move text to new page
  • 95. • Table of Contents/List of Figure/List of Charts should be in the same font and size as the rest of the document, no color, no italics, with numbers right aligned (create a right dot leader tab at the right margin) 2 The components of the final project/thesis includes: • Title page • Copyright page (or blank page) • Signature page • Executive Summary or Abstract • Acknowledgments (optional)
  • 96. • Table of Contents • List of Tables • List of Figures • Introduction • Project Detail (this will vary depending on the type of project completed) • Results/Discussion • References Cited • Appendices (optional) Each of these components is discussed in full detail in the Thesis and Major Paper Guide provided on the Graduate school website,. It is highly suggested that you download and print a copy.
  • 97. These guidelines will apply to all papers written in each of the classes as well as the final capstone project. There may be some sections not included for specific class assignments. Be sure to check with the course professor on what must be included. http://www.minotstateu.edu/graduate/_documents/theses_guide/t hesis_and_major_paper_guide.pdf 3 SPECIFIC FORMATTING FEATURES Preliminary Material The formats used for preliminary material (Title Page through List of Figures, or List of
  • 98. Plates) are illustrated in the example pages provided in Appendix A of the Thesis and Major Paper Guide. Students should follow these examples carefully in preparing these preliminary pages. Margins The margins on all four sides of every page must be a minimum of 1 inch. Only page numbers (placed upper right in a header) are placed outside of the margins. The required margins apply to tables and figures as well as the text, and they apply to all pages, including preliminary material and appendices. Page Numbers All pages of the thesis are counted with the exception of the
  • 99. blank or copyright page that follows the Title Page. All preliminary pages (all pages prior to the Introduction) should be numbered with lower case Roman numerals (ii). The only exception is the Title Page, which is assigned a page number (i.e., counted as page i), but it is not paginated (no page number is shown). Beginning with Introduction, and continuing through the References and any appendices, all pages are counted and paginated (with some exceptions) with Arabic numerals (2, 3). The only page that is not paginated is the page (if present) labeled “Appendices” or “Appendix”. Page numbers, whether Roman or Arabic numerals, are placed at the upper-right corner
  • 100. of the page. They should be located inside the right-hand margin. To set the page number in 4 Microsoft Word, use Insert/Page Number/Top of Page--Plain Number 3. The page number can then be formatted as needed (to be either lowercase Roman numerals or Arabic numerals). Changing the type of page number (Roman numerals to Arabic numerals) or omitting the page number from a page requires use of a section break within word processing programs. The places that require a section break are before (transitioning to) the first page of each chapter and before the page (if included) labeled “Appendices” or “Appendix.” The section break should be
  • 101. inserted after typing on the preceding page is completed. In Microsoft Word, select… Page Layout/ Break /Section break – next page. The cursor will move to the top of the next page, and the section number increases by one. The section break allows the pages of different sections, including headers and footers, to be formatted differently. To set the type of page number to be used: Double-click in the header area, to activate the headers and footers. In the Header and Footer section of the Formatting Palette, select… Format Page number. In the window that appears, you can choose the format of the page numbers. Within the preliminary materials section, select the i, ii, iii… format. In the Headings the APA Manual defines five possible levels of headings. However, in
  • 102. most reports or projects, all five levels will not be needed. Headings help readers navigate the report or project; but using too many levels can be more intrusive than helpful. The five levels of headings set forth in the APA Manual are formatted as follows: Level 1 centered, boldface, uppercase and lowercase (capitalized) heading. Level 2 flush left, boldface, uppercase and lowercase (capitalized) heading. Level 3 indented, boldface, lowercase (only first word capitalized) paragraph heading, ends with a period. 5
  • 103. Level 4 indented, boldface, italicized, lowercase (only first word capitalized) paragraph heading, ends with a period. Level 5 indented, italicized, lowercase (only first word capitalized) paragraph heading, ends with a period. These heading formats outlined in the APA Manual 6th edition differ from those outlined in the 5th edition. In a report or project, the highest level heading is used to title the chapter. Both the chapter number (e.g., Chapter 1) and the title of the chapter (e.g., Introduction) are considered to be part of the same heading, even though they are typed on separate lines, double- spaced.
  • 104. Typeface and Spacing The MSIS Faculty prefers Times New Roman or Arial. Acceptable font sizes are 10 pt and 12 pt. For Times New Roman and Arial, 12 pt text works best; 10-pt text is rather small, and more difficult to read. The same typeface must be used throughout the report or project, with the exceptions of lettering that is part of the body of a figure and material in appendices, for which a different typeface may be used. One additional excepti on to the font size requirement relates to table notes, which may be a smaller font (e.g., 10-pt Times New Roman). Text should be written using left justification (i.e., text aligned with left margin, except when indented). Full justification, which spreads the text to align with both the left and right
  • 105. margins, should not be used. The MSIS Faculty prefers double spacing throughout the document. However, appropriate use of larger line spacing (triple or quadruple) in some places can improve the readability of the reports or projects. Triple line spacing (two blank lines) is required above and/or below tables that appear on a page with normal text, to more clearly offset them from the 6 text. Larger line spacing (triple spacing should suffice) may also precede headings, particularly higher-level headings. Consistency in spacing is the key.
  • 106. In Text Citation and Reference Page The MSIS Faculty has agreed on a modified APA format. Each reference should be listed in alphabetical order, according to proper APA format, on the reference page and numbered. The carry over line will be indented such that it aligns with the first line. Examples follow: 1. Baker, E. J. (2011). Household preparedness for the Aftermath of Hurricanes in Florida, Applied Geography, 31, 46-52. 2. Carleton, R. N., Collimore, K. C., & Asmundson, J. G. J. (2010). It’s not just the judgements—It’s that I don’t know: Intolerance of uncertainty as a predictor of social anxiety, Journal of Anxiety Disorders, 24, 189–195. The number will be used as the in text citation and the number
  • 107. enclosed in brackets [1]. The numbers will not be in numerical order in your document, rather will refer to the listing on the reference page. For example: Baker [1] found that preparedness was strongly related to factors like income level, home ownership, race, age, and type of housing.
