Welcome to my home page
DR RICHI NAYAK
I am
senior lecturer in the School of
Information System, Queensland University
of Technology ,
I also demonstrate an effective leadership in unit development, unit teaching and student supervision. My teaching performance has been evaluated between ‘good’ to ‘very good’ range by students. I have developed a number of innovations into teaching and assessment in developing units offered in Information Systems. An example is implementation of an innovative teaching methodology of merging theory into research and practice with the strong partnership with Industries. I currently lecture three undergraduate and postgraduate units: ITB/N239 – Enterprise Data Mining; ITB/N 295 – XML: Data and Document Processing and ITB/N232 – Database Systems.
