  • MSGL 807: Ethical Governance

    3.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    We have recently witnessed a wave of democratization processes in developing countries where a number of countries have embraced multi-party systems and increased the influence of civil organizations, promoting inclusiveness and broad participation in decision-making. Ethical governance means ensuring transparency and accountability in the affairs of government. Major donors and international financial institutions are increasingly basing their aid and loans on the condition that governments must undertake "good governance". In other words, they should embrace the ideas of participatory, transparent and accountable, effective and equitable governance. They must also promote the rule of law, and must ensure that political, social and economic priorities are based on broad consensus in society. This course will examine core elements of ethical governance and provide ideas on how to address them.

  • MSIT 545: Data Modeling

    3.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    This course follows the ANSI architecture standard for database development and focuses on the development and design of relational databases from a conceptual modeling direction. The class uses, specifically, the entity-realtionship model for conceptual design and formualation of database concepts followed by relational theory, including normalization. This is followed by implementation issues, including a brief introduction to structured query language. A small database development and implementation project is required in order to show the interplay between the design and development issues covered in the class and the actual implementation of the corresponding design.
