Issues in Information Systems · 2006
Systems Analysis and Design (SAD) is a course commonly taught in almost all MIS programs.Most students do not understand the significance of this course until they enter the workforce.It is not always easy to make this course interesting to students due to its theoretical nature and it does not lend itself to hands-on activities that are readily encountered in courses such as programming or database; however, the course requires prior knowledge on these subject matters.In this paper, we present a project-based methodology of teaching systems analysis and design that focuses on the development of system documentations that keeps students engaged in key activities of the Systems Development Life Cycle.
