Values and Culture
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 don't 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 don't we write more essays?
All email and SMS to DFAQ environments are anonymous.
As a Department we subscribe to UCT value's which can be found at

IS staff and students have access to a wealth of resources, including
library, computer, internet and other on-line resources. We commit to using
these assets and resources responsibly.
