	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE HAS A DYNAMIC SETTING, RICH OF CASES STUDY, AS FAR AS IT IS CONCERNED TO THE OPERATIONS SUPPORT SYSTEMS AND THE DATABASES. CONCERNING TO THE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT SYSTEMS. THE COURSE HAS AN INNOVATIVE STRUCTURE. THERE ARE ALSO SIMULATIONS FOR INNOVATIVE SYSTEMS' DESIGN. CONCERNING THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT, THE COURSE GIVES THE MAIN KNOWLEDGE FOR THE SOFTWARE PROJECTS MANAGEMENT IN THE CREATION OF A BUSINESS INFORMATION SYSTEM, WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES, PLANNING AND TIMETABLE, RISK MANAGEMENT, PEOPLE MANAGEMENT, COSTS ESTIMATION, IMPROVEMENT OF THE PROCESSES, TO THE MANAGEMENT OF QUALITY AND CONFIGURATIONS. IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE TO THE FINAL ASSESSMENT AND TO GAIN THE CREDITS CORRESPONDING TO THE COURSE, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 70% OF THE HOURS OF ASSISTED TEACHING ACTIVITIES.

	Verification of learning
	THERE ARE TWO PARTS IN THE EXAM: A PRATICAL TEST AND AN ORAL ONE. THE PRATICAL TEST CONSISTS OF A DEEP STUDY AND A PRESENTATION CONCERNING THE METHODOLOGICAL/TECHNOLOGICAL THEMES IN THE INFORMATION SYSTEMS' WORLD. THE BASIC THEMES, TO BE STUDIED, ARE INDICATED DURING THE COURSE AND THEY CAN BE MODIFIED ACCORDING TO THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRENDS. THE ORAL TEST VERIFIES THE ACCOMPLISHED THE STUDY. IT IS EVALUATED, BESIDES THE ANSWERS ACCURACY, THEIR PRESENTATION, THE USE OF THE LANGUAGE AND THE MATURITY LEVEL OF THE STUDENT IN THE USING OF METHODOLOGIES, METHODS AND TECHNICS IN THE DESIGNING OF AN INFORMATION SYSTEM (LOW COMPLEXITY).
