Many universities are attempting to address problems related to academic standards and the appropriate level of rigor for courses. Related to a university-wide effort to raise the intellectual climate in the classroom, a study was performed to identify the most significant factors for doing so in management information systems (MIS) courses. MIS and other computer-related areas, and technical areas in general, have unique challenges relating to currency of content and relevancy. And these courses have historically been evaluated by students as being "not well taught" or "too boring." This study attempts to identify specific problems and suggests solutions to improve the intellectual climate in MIS courses.
