1. Contact at least three people at your school or a nearby company who use information
systems. List the systems, the position titles of the users, and the business functions
that the systems support.
2. Research newspaper, business magazine articles, or the Web to find computer
companies whose stock is traded publicly. Choose a company and pretend to buy
$1,000 of its stock. What is the current price per share? Why did you choose that
company? Report each week to your class on how your stock is doing.
3. Do a search on the Web to learn more about agile system development approaches and
spiral models. Prepare a summary of the results and a list of the sites you visited.
4. Is it really possible to measure thinking skills? Before you decide, visit the Critical
Thinking Community site shown in Figure 1-35 on page 31. Prepare a brief memo
with your conclusion and reasons.
