Computer Information Systems - CIS161/2 Fall 2026
Course
Here's the syllabus for the class to review all of the activities and assignments - but know that the actual assignments and activities might change for this exact course. The syllabus is a master syllabus for all CIS sections (taught by different instructors). We'll review this during our first session. That would be a good time to ask me any questions about the class after having reviewed the syllabus. I'm also very flexible and am open to discussing any additional content you might want to discuss, in the context of computer systems and how they impact your life.
Final note...be sure the Syllabus is Section 2. Sometimes NEO automatically replaces the Syllabus from the another section...in my case, Section 1. The content is exactly the same, but the dates are different, as your class is on Tuesday and they are Monday and your classes land on different Holidays.
