7 habits of highly effective students
Be punctual - To be a good professional, we need to be punctual from the starting.

Ask questions - The more you ask, the more you understand, the less confused.

Review materials every day - The sooner you review the materials, the better you understand the materials.

Be moderate in resting and eating - Few people receive good score by cramming everything in a few nights.  Not eating can lead to several health problem, so as not enough rest.

Overview
This course will continue from where we left off in the 305371 Principle of Software Engineering.  We will explore the business side of the Information Technology.  Topics include the effective usage of information system, the delivery of information system services, etc.
Objectives

This is a course with emphasis on efficient delivering informatics services.  After completing this course, students should:

  1. be able to apply the software engineering and service science principles to the delivering of information system.
  2. be able to develop usage scenarios of information system.
  3. recognize and understand the importance of service science on information system.
  4. be able to use the measurement to improve the quality of services.
Instructional Approach

In order to be successful in this course

  1. Students are required to read the textbook before attending each class session.
  2. Every week, there will be a quiz on the subject we are going to study.  A quiz will help students prepare for the upcoming topics.
  3. There will be approximately 4 software development assignments for this course.  These assignments are designed to institute the discipline software engineering and service science practice.
  4. Every week, students will present progress on their semester-long project.  Each project must be an actual software system for an enterprise.
References

Since many reference books are used in the class, it will be more economical to acquire only one title per student and share different titles among group members.
