Description

Short description
The course focuses on systems analysis and design, including methods and approaches for developing and implementing information systems in organizations.

Topics

  • Introduction to object-oriented systems
  • Project planning and initiation
  • Requirements analysis (i.e., requirements gathering and structuring)
  • Systems modeling (i.e., UML modeling languages)
  • Systems implementation

Learning objectives
  • Students will know how information systems can be modeled and designed.
  • Students will know basic methods of systems modeling and design (i.e. UML modeling languages) in order to analyze, design, and implement information systems.
  • Students will use methods of systems modeling in order to analyze, design, and implement information systems.

Methods
  • The module integrates theoretical knowledge and practical skills in an interactive lecture.
  • The e-learning platform Moodle will be used throughout the course for the dissemination of course material and discussions.
