This introductory course gives the student an understanding of how we should separate Analysis from Design issues. In other words, WHAT something is trying to accomplish versus HOW it tries to accomplish it.

It does this by looking at many things that are simply perpetuated from old designs and taking a humorous look at where those old designs originated.

The course uses pictures, graphics, both static and animated, with voiceover to show the various real-world examples of the perpetuation of old designs. It does this by progressing through basic examples in everyone's regular life to business issues that restrict us as customers.

This is an introductory level course. There is no support material needed for this course.
