 Welcome back. As you're looking back and reviewing the course, it's important that you realize how things learned in one unit of the course built upon things you had learned in previous units. You started by learning about the most basic components of a management information system – technology, people, and processes. As you progressed through each unit, you learned a little more about the detail of each of these components, which built upon the big picture of information systems. In Unit 2, you learned about hardware, software, networks, and security. In Unit 3, you learned about metadata, databases, and data management. In Unit 4, you learned about information systems and strategies, and the people in information systems. In Unit 5, you learned about multiple software development methodologies, programming languages, and tools. In Unit 6, you learned about globalization, the legal and ethical implications of information systems, and the future of management information systems. As we conclude this course, recall the study of the individual components that make up a management information system. Visualize how the technology enables people to develop software applications through methodologies, programming languages, and processes. Also consider the legal and ethical aspects involved with technology. I hope you have taken advantage of the unit assessment activities associated with each unit. These activities will definitely improve your readiness for completing the final exam of this course. Go back and do these now if you skipped over them your first time through the course. Now is the time to complete the study guides for each unit and review any concepts that you were unsure of as you completed the unit assessments. Revisit any materials you need to. Throughout this course, I have been encouraging you to take notes. Reviewing those notes now will help keep those concepts fresh in your mind as you prepare for the final exam. Make time to go back and review the course textbook readings as needed. These readings will help reinforce key concepts and learning outcomes of the course. The final exam is your opportunity to show off your understanding of the course materials. If you have done all of the assessment and taken advantage of all of the review opportunities, I am certain that you will be able to complete the final exam. Once again, congratulations on completing the course and best of luck on the final exam.
