Week12

1. What are the skills and knowledge that a good systems analyst requires?

A good analyst should be a person who basically can analyse the problems, design and implement solutions for the problems. Analyst should be capable of communicating with customers, technical staff such as programmers, and management. This implies a good system analyst should have a good understanding of technical and business details and good communication skills.

1. How has your answer to question 1 this week changed from your post in response to this same question when it was asked in Week 2?

When answering this in week 2, the answer is written directly from the text book, where as in week 12, it’s just an understanding.

1. How well did your actual study for the course this term match the study schedule outlined in the Gantt chart you prepared in week 3?

Too many assignments in this subject and other subject, other common distractions for a normal foreign student didn’t allow me to follow the study schedule according to the plan after week 5. Basically I never recap the lectures after week 5 at all.

1. If you were in charge of this course next term, what changes would you make to improve the course? Why?

If I am a course coordinator to this course I would have reduce some of the theory part of the subject and concentrate more on the concepts like DFD and ERD, and give more realistic examples and more time for these concepts.
