Unit 33 Data Analysis and Design Distinction Copy

Case Study:

Dominican College is located 15 miles northwest of New York City. The college offers Bachelor of Science programs in Accounting, Computer Information Systems (CIS), and Management programs. Each course consists of various types of units and the final project. The College has three campuses: North Campus offers computing programs; South Campus offers Accounting Programs; West Campus offers Management Programs. There are lecturers who are capable of teaching various types of units of programs offered by the College. However, the Academic Manger allocates units for all the lecturers based on their skills and competencies. When the students are registered for the course, the admin of the College assigns appropriate course for each learner. Once the course is assigned, students are able to find out the lecturers those who deliver the respective units and the campus, which they need to attend classes.
