Academic Integrity
Academic integrity forms a fundamental bond of trust between colleagues, peers, lecturers, and
students, and it underlies all genuine learning. There is no tolerance for plagiarism or academic
dishonesty in any form, including, but not limited to, viewing the exams of others, sharing
answers with others, using books or notes while taking the exam, copying answers or papers, or
passing off someone elses work as ones own. A breach of ethics or act of dishonesty can result
in A FAILURE OF AN ENTIRE COURSE (a grade of E).

Teaching Methods
The teaching method will be based on Student Centered Learning (SCL), thus class activities
will be more emphasised on discussion of cases and probles. Students are expected to read the
materials before classes and be able to participate in the discussions. Quizzes will be given
periodically at the beginning of lecture sessions without prior notice. Quiz questions are related
to the materials that will be discussed at the session.

Students will be divided into several groups and each group has the task of presenting a case at
the specified session.

Students will also practice using the AIS-related softwares such as MS Access, VISIO, and
MYOB in the laboratorium sessions. Students are responsible to practice the software outside the
laboratorium session, in which the results will be accounted as assignments grade components.
