MSIS 720L - IS Project (capstone)

3 Credits

Through the use of projects, this course fits together all of the concepts from previous courses regarding information systems development. The student gains experience in analyzing, designing, implementing, and evaluating information systems. Assignments consist of at least one systems development project involving all or part of the systems-development cycle. Students will work independently or in teams to acquire practical experience through such projects, including the behavioral considerations in systems development. The instructor(s) will act as evaluator(s) instead of teacher(s) since the course pragmatically tests the student’s knowledge and skills gained previously in the program. The student’s ability to apply the systems approach to the project as a whole and to individual components will be very closely evaluated.
