Interesting courses for this summer

CS 129.6: EXTREME PROGRAMMING: M-F 9:00 – 12:00, CTC-215 (3 units)

This is a seminar course that focuses on a relatively new methodology in
Software Engineering called Extreme Programming. The course involves working
in small teams or pairs, checking on each other, and also focuses on good
testing practices, including unit testing, and the like.

MIS 181.1: SPECIAL TOPICS IN MANAGEMENT SCIENCE: KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT: All Levels of MIS: M-F 10:30 – 12:00, CTC-313 (3 units)
Pre-requisite: MIS 101
This subject discusses the impact of knowledge on a global and corporate
level and presents different ways of managing the knowledge on a technical,
managerial and psychological perspective. To achieve this, the course will
discuss theoretical frameworks and models on how knowledge is created,
organized, disseminated and used; methodologies on how to manage knowledge;
and technologies that can assist in the management of knowledge.

(Wish I could attend!)
