This course provides students with a thorough and practical introduction to information system analysis and
design. It covers the standard methodologies for systems analysis and documentation, but places particular
emphasis on modern object-oriented techniques and iterative lifecycles. We will cover client-server and web
system architectures, project lifecycle models, project management techniques, requirements elicitation,
analysis, documentation, and management, CASE tools, use case analysis, business rule catalogs, process
models, system design approaches, and graphical modeling with the Unified Modeling Language. Students are
expected to complete readings in the text book, solve problem sets, analyze and document a business process,
prepare a project plan, complete a system analysis & design model, and venture into the use of tools.

Note that the Flash versions of the lectures are much smaller but do not always play when viewed with Internet
Explorer on Windows Vista. They work fine with Firefox on Vista and Firefox/IE on XP. Alternatively, you can
view the AVI files which play with any media player. They do take longer to download, though. The latest
tutorials are WMV files which are much smaller and should play in the browser and through any media player.
