Knowledge Trek KT
An Analyst must present hi/her knowledge on a topic/subject when performing
an analysis, or offering an opinion, a recommendation, or to perform
a Q & A.
The WEB contains a wealth of knowledge on Information Technology,
and Business Applications.
By surfing the WEB you travel to locations all over the world and
find valuable URL's with content that provides you with information
relevant to your knowledge search.
The purpose of the Knowledge Trek is to report YOUR Insights, Questions,
or Revieq of the gathered information, also you should identify the
URL's in the report that provide good information.
The Knowledge Trek report should be E-mailed to me before the Tuesday
night class following the assignment date. The report should be a
single page suitable for management. The grade is 10 points if received
before Tuesday night class and relates to subject with good analysis,
otherwise 5 points when late.
Projects
Part
of this course will be the development of an individual or group class
project. I encourage you to use the WWW resources to conduct your
research and Power Point to present the subject.
