I teach several graduate courses at Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu.
I started this blog as a knowledge base for my courses. Over time, I moved my course management pages from WebCT and Blackboard to billso.com

Student data, grades and assignments

There is no information or data on the billso.com site regarding individual student grades or papers.

Grades and student assignments are maintained in TurnItIn.com. Students can retrieve their grades and assignment results from that system.

See my help page on user privacy for more information.

Information about past courses

Events and posts that are related to course assignments are hidden after the term is completed.

The main page for each course remains available to the public. Each of those pages has the course calendar, syllabus, reading schedule, and assignment schedule.

IS 6100 and IS 6050

http://billso.com/ism/ is the home page for my IS 6100 Corporate Information Systems course.

In August 2008, this course name becomes Information Systems Management, and the course will be offered with two numbers: IS 6100 and MGMT 6050. I will use a new URL at that time, and the new site will still reference articles that I will post to http://billso.com

IS 7010 and IS 6700

http://billso.com/tech/ is the home page for my IS 7010 Technology Strategy course.

The course number will change to 6700 in January 2009, so the URL will change at that time.

IS 7000

In January 2009, I will teach a new graduate capstone course that includes a certification exam and several case analysis papers.

I will be posting information about this course to http://billso.com/7000/

IS 6000

Between 2002 and 2005, I taught the introductory course to the HPU MSIS program. This is a research methods course, and there is some content on this web site that is related to that course. I guest lecture a section a few times a year.

There’s a PPT file that I use in this lecture about qualitative methods and the MSIS professional paper. The most recent version if that presentation is in this 29 November 2007 post.

IS 5050

Between 2002 and 2005, I taught several sections of a Java programming course.

There is very little content about that course on this web site, because most of this posts we written after I stopped teaching Java.

IS 7100, IS 7150 and IS 7200

I have supervised several MSIS professional papers in the MSIS and MSIS Professional courses at HPU.

Posts, articles and pages on billso.com that are relevant to these courses may be found at http://billso.com/7100/

I have enabled direct commenting to many of the article pages, but I do review, edit and delete comments because of privacy and spam issues. I have far more spam robots that want to post free ads on my site than I do actual readers. I find myself agreeing with James Farmer: comments that users post into a blog require a great deal of my time and resources to manage. Comments are twee.

Readers can e-mail me their comments, too. In your email, please include the phrase “I give billso.com permission to post my comments”.

Sometimes I refer to old articles in my blog, and those will appear as direct comments.

TRACKBACKS AND PINGS

Bloggers are welcome to post their own comments in their blog, along with a link to my article. My blog will automatically find and list these links as comments, although it may take 2 days for the comments to appear with my blog post. It’s not an instantaneous process.
