IST 230 Exercise 16 - Graph Theory Exercises

First, read and outline the Topic 5 notes and then work on this exercise.

1. Read the IST degree roadmap contained in this directory.

2. Create a clear dependency graph of the required courses for each of the 3 IST BS options and each of the 3 SRA BS options

· IST BS Options

· Information Systems: Design and Development (ISDEV) Option

· Information Technology: Integration and Application (ISINT) Option

· Information Context: People, Organizations, and Society (ISPP) Option

· SRA BS Options

· Intelligence Analysis and Modeling (IAM) Option

· Information and Cyber Security (ICS) Option

· Social Factors and Risk (SFR) Option

1. Your graphs (6 of them in total) should each be a directed graph containing all required courses that shows all dependencies (prerequisites and co-requisites) clearly. Remember that a directed graph

4. Your goal should be to draw this graph in a way that a student can quickly and easily see all course dependencies. Think of this as a tool to help students plan their course schedules.

This is a 20-point exercise, with the possibility of 10 extra exercise credit points for a set of really excellent, clear, and user-friendly dependency graphs. The basic grading criterion for the 20 points will be accuracy and clarity of your graphs. The instructor will make this extra credit determination in consultation with the Office of Learning Initiatives and/or the IST advising staff. My criterion for extra credit will be that we deem this worthy as a student program-planning tool.

PS – I will consider even more than 10 points extra credit for a really outstanding and creatively thought out tool, which goes well beyond basic graph-theoretic ideas. Again, the instructor will make this determination in consultation with people who deal with IST curriculum issues.
