Overview :: Values & Culture

The Department of Information Systems encourages and is committed to the development of a Questioning culture. This means:

• Everyone can ask and be asked questions
• Be willing to admit I dont know
• Go beyond allowing questions; encourage questions
• Help develop the skills needed to ask questions in a positive way
• Focus on asking empowering questions and avoid disempowering questions
• Emphasize the process of asking questions and searching for answers rather than finding the right answers
• Accept and reward risk taking

There is an IS Head of Department DFAQ environment http://data.meg.uct.ac.za/faq/hod001, on which one can ask questions. These can also be asked by SMS to 31642 with the prefix hod001, e.g. hod001 why dont we write more essays?

All email and SMS to DFAQ environments are anonymous.
