Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Attendance at lectures is not compulsory, but is recommended. Attendance at seminars is compulsory and controlled. Absence from seminars can be compensated for via consultations with the tutor.
The course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended all practicals and presented a semester project. The exam has a written and an oral part.
For students with an individual study plan, all lectures and seminars are optional. In order to complete the course, it is necessary to submit an individual semester project and pass an exam. For ISP the conditions are identical, the date of each test and exam is arranged individually according to the conditions approved by the ISP.

Aims

The objective of the course is to make students familiar with theoretical methods, methodologies and the use of information systems in the frame of a company management.
Students will obtain basic skills and knowledge necessary for specifying requirements for an information system, its analyses, design and implementation. Students will be able to co-ordinate activities when implementing information systems in companies.
