INSTRUCTION RELATED ACTIVITIES
COURSES TAUGHT
    At the UofB, I have taught at both at the graduate and the undergraduate level. I
    have been involved in redesigning MIS curriculum, courses and technical
    workshops. I have met AACSB guidelines for incorporating modern technologies
    into my teaching by using: VBASIC, ORACLE, RDB, IFPS, GPSS and Excelerator,
    as well as Word Processors, Spreadsheets and BASIC. I have also included
    international and ethical components in my courses and have also met the AACSB
       guidelines for stressing communications and other professional skills by simulating
       real life examples in the courses. I have been using web in all my courses and am
       actively teaching in the webMBA program at UB.
