Model Course - Systems Analysis

This CSOM course introduces students to “a set of widely used techniques for the design and improvement of information systems” (see the detailed syllabus). To give students a sense of how they “operate in the professional world,” it takes an approach of experiential learning.  The Canvas site serves this purpose in a number of ways, prompting active responses to readings through Discussions and guiding students through the stages of a collaborative assignment.  A chronological structure and timely announcements help students keep on task with what’s next.

What to look for

Announcements with timely information to guide student preparation for class
