Teaching
This is the class information for the classes I teach at Drexel University in the College of Information Science and Technology in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I've been teaching there since 1996. The course number links will take you to the most current class info, or the syllabus if I am not currently teaching it.
Drexel Isys 420 updated to be Info 420- Software Project Management
This course studies project management in the context of software systems development. The course will cover the processes, contexts, metrics, planning and management concerns of managing projects for modern software systems. In covering the planning and management aspects of systems development projects, this course focuses on the critical aspects of systems development that reduce risk and improve the likelihood of project success.
Drexel Info 540 – Perspectives on Information Systems
Examines various types of information systems and the ways in which these systems support activities of individuals and organizations. Investigates application architectures that occur commonly in information systems. Provides an overview of knowledge domains that comprise the information systems discipline.
Drexel Info 604 - Object Oriented Programming
Drexel Info 608 - Human-Computer Interaction
Focuses on the design and evaluation of human-computer interfaces covering such topics as task analysis techniques for gathering design information, iterative design through prototyping, and formative and summative usability testing; theoretical foundations of HCI and cognitive modeling of user interactions; the integration of HCI techniques into the software development life cycle and the use of user constraints to generate new interaction designs.
Drexel Info 611 - Design of Interactive Systems
Focuses on interactive system design methods in common use covering such topics as interactive design, iterative design, usability analysis, prototyping and evaluation, mental models, conceptual models, interaction styles, the use of guidelines; normative, descriptive, and formative approaches to work analysis; modeling user's activities, defining and validating requirements, presenting interactive system designs, and the theoretical foundations underlying the design of interactive systems.
Drexel Info 614 - Distributed Computing and Networking
(Prerequisite or co-requisite: INFO 503)
Presents the fundamentals of data communications, networking and distributed computing technologies. Focuses on the broad foundational coverage of key technologies as well as the key concepts in network planning, design and management. Major topics include network models, data and voice communications, local-area and wide-area technologies, IP networks and their applications, internetworking (with an emphasis on the Internet), client/server systems and distributed computing applications.
Drexel Info 630 - Evaluation of Information Systems
(Prerequisite: INFO 620)
Focuses on the evaluation of software and software system development. Covers a variety of methodologies, techniques, and tools for measuring both software and software development attributes in modern software development organizations. Includes both graphical approaches for representing these attributes and statistical approaches for modeling various software relationships. (3-0-4)
Drexel Info 638 - Software Project Management
(Prerequisite: INFO 620)
Focuses on first-line management of software system development. Covers major themes including estimation (software cost factors, estimation models, and risk management), planning (work breakdown, scheduling, staffing, resource allocation, and creation of a project plan), and execution (team building, leadership, motivation, process tracking, control recovery, and communication within and outside the project). (3-0-4)
Drexel Info 646 - Information Systems Management
(Prerequisite: INFO 620)
Addresses information technology-enabled change and policy issues in the management of information systems (IS). Stresses systems development staffing and organization, technology infrastructure, project selection, justification and funding, and data. Studies the issues and their resolution in the context of an IS plan. Emphasizes communication about the issues to senior management.
Drexel Info 656 (658) - Programming Internet Information Systems II
Drexel Info 780 - Java Internet Programming
Provides additional design and programming skills for the development of Internet information systems with an emphasis on server-side programming. Covers various web servers, applications servers, and other server technologies, as well as tools and methods for creating dynamic web-based information systems. Discusses issues related to the development of server-based information systems on the web.
