  4. What students said The best thing about the IS project is: 1. “having created a prototype, being able to produce a final product that worked, and being able to present it to the client” 2. “Supervisor Meetings” 3. “Being able to apply all that we've learnt throughout the years in our ISYS majors and bring it all together in 1 unit - allowed us to experience a project in a 'real world' setting but with supervisors to assist you along the way” 4. “The lessons I can take away with me that i can use to my advantage in the real world”. G J Kennedy 2006

  5. What students said The best thing about the IS project is: 5. “new experiences” 6. “Experience of time gained from working in a team on a high pressured, high deliverable focused project with a short time frame”. 7. “The whole experience of working in a group to solve a problem- both frustrating and rewarding- probably more like the real workforce than any other IS course at the uni”. 8. “Applying Project management and organisational skills”. G J Kennedy 2006
