TEACHING

Lecturer (Instructor):

INFOSYS 220 - Business Systems Analysis

The overall course objective is to promote the conceptual and skill based learning needed to understand the process of analysing and designing information systems. The course concentrates on the front-end of the systems development process; that is, the analysis process. The analysis process provides a strong basis for understanding and modelling the user needs in an information system solution. The course touches on project planning and management aspects, and the design of computer programs in order to provide an overview of the whole information system development process. The development of skills is stimulated through class material, practice in class, laboratories and assignments, and through interaction with the teaching team. In the final project, students, working in teams, will practice the major steps and techniques in the whole information systems development process: from gathering information through to implementation, and documentation of the implemented system.
