Courses Taught Since 1985 I have taught a total of 24 different courses encompassing Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral level. Although as a department we tend to work CIS curriculum issues in a collective way, I have personally developed a number of those courses. In particular Database Systems is my area of specialization, and I have taken direct responsibility in developing, updating, and coordinating the various courses in the field.
