Methods We Used

Bob Travica

Think of Majoring in MIS

• IS support every department and most of work in today’s organizations.

• MIS is related to all management disciplines.

• Understanding MIS makes a better accountant, marketer, HR expert, purchasing professional… and manager.

• It pays back to double major in MIS!

• MIS courses cover databases, IS Analysis & Design, computer networks, IS Strategy, accounting, enterprise systems, and trendy topics.

• I tried to make this course interesting and useful even though technology and process/data analysis could have been entirely new (and a bit scary) topics for some of you.

• I have kept the marking open and as fair as I could.

• I ran class and lab surveys at mid-semester and made adjustments based on survey results.

• I tried to prepare you for the exams in a straightforward way.

• Please evaluate how I did my job.
