Nice light end to the course, as many others have also reported. I wish that the course was maybe more split up to encompass more of this level of work earlier on and easing people into the massive early assignments to later on. I feel pretty confident I wrote was I was supposed to. Not sure how much was supposed to be written about Database integrity but I wrote what I felt was right. The textbook seems rather small regarding this part that was placed in the final assignment.  Like assignment 4 it seems that the first part of this was almost parts that could be done as a brainstorm exercise of the first few assignments, very simple once you have done all the use-case work prior to this.

I find all of the part B portions to be very tough actually. All of my information comes from extensive online searches, but quoting the internet is not that easy. Internet sources are not all that reputable without at least a few sources saying the similar thing, but quoting only one seems less than accurate for what I have been using to quantify my research. Hopefully the actual lack of sources I do place doesn’t hurt me in the long run. I also find I draw from a lot of my own knowledge over online sources for justification due to the fact that online sources again aren’t all that reputable. I guess if I looked up Masters and PHD thesis those would hold some weigh, but I find personal my personal experience thus far in life to be a pretty good source, so I’d like to cite me! [1] 

All in all I’m happy with the information that I have gathered from this course. I think it doesn’t necessarily apply to all systems analysis but bits and pieces, such as project proposals, I found quite useful. I still hate the term “Stakeholder”. Everyone is a stakeholder, why must they be labeled as such in a project. It seems very self-explanatory and the analyst is just showing off that they know everyone is involved.
