Awful
Professor Darcy was one of the worst teachers I've ever had. He doesn't know what he's doing. The class is a complete waste of time because he talks in circles and can't complete the assignments himself. The tests were impossible too. The material in lectures were easy. However, the exams were nothing like the quizzes or prep. I suggest that you take anyone else.

Awful
Professor Darcy seemed to mean well, but he was really awful. The grades took forever to be posted. He said he didn't know when he asked for feedback, on why he received a particular grade, because he didn't grade the work himself. Most of the software did not work on Mac computers and he had no idea why. He offers additional credits in the end though.

Poor
I really think Professor Darcy's class should have a C.I.S. designation. In my opinion, it was really an extension of CIS235. I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed this class. Part of the reason that the class is rated very low is that the material simply isn't for everyone. However, Darcy could have done more to improve the situation. His COVID accommodation was great though.

Good
I have no idea why Professor Darcy was rated badly. He's very accessible outside the classroom. He responded to emails at all times of the day and was very welcoming. The class is challenging, but it's not hard to go through any means. And although the classes were online this semester, he was very understanding and even offered a very easy extra credit.

Disaster Management: The Marriage of POM and IT Officiated by Social Media

Social Media (SM) can provide additional operational capabilities in Disaster Management while reducing coordination overhead
significantly improving the effectiveness of DM. We describe how POM can work with IT to determine how SM can be structured and focused to play a powerful central role in managing disasters.

One of the issues that continues to raise controversy in the community is what constituents a legitimate scientific contribution to Design Science Research (DSR). While much of debate in DSR centered on the role of design theories
we raise the question of how prolific
in terms of knowledge generation
design theorizing might be in DSR. We introduce a novel view from the philosophy of science called systematicity that sheds new light on the debate and provides new rationale for expanding the diversity of DSR contributions.
On Systematicity: Expanding the Diversity of Design Science Research Contributions
Past research on software development outsourcing has explored in some detail the client's perspective and its attendant performance issues. However
relatively few studies have explicitly addressed performance drivers viewed from the vendor side. In this paper
we fill this gap by examining how coordination within the project team and between the client and the vendor organizations influence two dimensions of software project performance-software quality and development speed-using data from 83 software projects from nine Indian software firms. Our results show that both client (external) coordination and vendor team (internal) coordination positively influenced software quality
but not development speed. We also found that client communication barriers moderated the impact of coordination with the client on quality. While we did not find that vendor-team coordination affected development speed
team size had a negative interaction effect with vendor-team coordination on development speed. Interestingly
temporal boundaries had a detrimental effect on software quality
but a positive effect on development speed. Finally
we found that development speed increased with the number of person days devoted to the project up to a certain point (i.e.
a first-order effect)
but speed declined with additional person days (i.e.
a second-order effect). Our findings contribute to literature and practice by offering nuanced insights into performance in outsourcing projects from the vendor perspective and the role of coordination
both within the vendor team and with the client.\n
Coordination and Performance in Global Software Service Delivery: The Vendor's Perspective
Considerable expenditure on human resource development (HRD) has not necessarily resulted in a significant impact on organizational performance
and research suggests that the failure to transfer learning may be an important explanation. The search for factors affecting transfer has been extensive
as shown in Grossman and Salas's article in this issue
but
as they also show
more research is needed. The purpose of the present study is to ascertain the views of HRD practitioners (in Ireland) about the factors that they believe are relevant to the transfer of learning in the workplace. The aim is to discover whether practitioners have identified potential factors which researchers have not explored or not explored sufficiently. This group of practitioners was chosen because of the considerable control they wield over significant tranches of organizational resources. The method first involved engagement with 28 senior HRD practitioners in a workshop setting to create a transfer inventory based on their expert opinion. The initial inventory was then responded to online by a group of 314 practitioners indicating the relevance of the items to the question of transfer. Factor analysis was used to achieve parsimony among items
and 21 potential factors were identified. This study focused on the 15 factors adjudged by practitioners to be most relevant. It is concluded that trainer effectiveness
organizational linkage and training event climate
all deemed relevant by practitioners
may justify further research.
