3. COURSE TEXTS:
Required text: Systems Analysis and Design (5th edition) by Dennis, Wixom, and Roth;
and my lecture notes. This text is available in hard copy and eBook format. The hard
copy book can be purchased at Barnes and Noble on High Street
4. COURSE DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES:
The focus of this course is the study of systems, and the principles of systems analysis
and design. This course introduces you to organizational systems analysis and design,
and presents ideas that provide powerful insights about a large spectrum of analysis
and design issues. This course aims to give you a feeling for the problems and
techniques of systems analysis and design, and the application of such techniques to
real life business analysis problems.
5. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES:
• You are expected to have read carefully the assigned portion of the
book prior to coming to class; most of the class time will be devoted to
the discussion of applications and extensions of the material in the book.
• You are expected to complete all assignments.
• You are expected to attend class and participate. There will be material
covered in lectures that will be on the midterms and final that may not be
in the book or published class notes. If you are unable to attend a class,
please get notes from one of your classmates.
• Solutions to problems may not be “copied” and “pasted” from external
sources. The purpose of the assignments is not to find a solution on the
Internet. If you do find some useful information on the web or from
another source it should be referenced! Evidence of cheating in any
form will be met with serious punishment including formal channels at
the University level.
6. GRADING POLICY:
•
Tentative allocation of points. Depending on time available I may
remove or alter these assignments. In the event that this happens,
those points will simply be subtracted from the total available for the

o Midterm #1: 100
o Midterm #2: 100
o Quizzes: 100 (4 quizzes at 25 points each)
