AIMS & OBJECTIVES
To provide students understanding of systems analysis and design, including process modeling
using data flow diagrams, Object modeling and the terminology in systems development such as
SDLC, data flow diagram, RFP, etc. Students will be aware of the importance of having a
methodology. This subject introduces the concepts and methods of system analysis and design to
students with a little or no experience. It provides understanding of the entire process of
information system design. Topics include business event analysis, use cases, system sequence
diagrams, domain modeling and the latest systems development methods, tools and techniques.

consisting of PT files, animations and movie clips. The instructor also will keep updating
teaching material periodically and will post them on the course website. Relevant extra-material
will be provided in class.
The instructor will explain theories first and the student will have practical experience at the end
of each chapter. Two assignments and several quizzes will be provided. All the students will have
chances to discuss their results of the quizzes and assignments individually. Finally, student will
have a team project for applying their knowledge to a real company site as a case- study.
13. ASSESSMENT METHODS (AMS)
(1) Quizzes/Assignments : 10%
These quizzes will test students’ understanding of basic concepts and theories of each chapter.
(2) Mid-term examination: 10%
This examination will test the students’ knowledge about SDLC focus on basic concept of
system analysis.
(3) Project and presentation: 30%
This project will enhance the students’ ability to apply their knowledge to the real IS project
and encourage them to solve the problem with methodologies.
(4) Final examination: 50%
This examination will evaluate students’ knowledge of SDLC and test how to design
information systems for an organization.
