چکیده
Smaller undergraduate colleges that offer degrees in Information Systems (IS) and also provide general purpose computing instruction have to reconcile competing demands upon curriculum design. This paper presents one response to IS2002 Model Curriculum in the context of the maturing of the Information Technology field. It presents a model for a course for IS majors and general business students that includes an introduction to databases, the web, and database driven websites. As the course has recently been adopted, the evaluation component discusses both formative and summative evaluation based upon locally developed instruments.
