...will inevitably be addressed. The focus will be on fullyoperational income-generating properties, primarily large in scale. The main asset types of office, industrial, retail and multi-unit residential will be discussed (and possibly a few more specialized types). Another emphasis of the course will be on the micro level – the evaluation of the investment merits of individual properties (or at least individual transactions). Less attention will be paid to the macro level i.e. portfolio management. To the extent possible, the course content (including readings, cases and assignments) will be Canadian (although it is recognized that real estate investment is increasingly a global endeavor). This is primarily a combination seminar and case study course. It is designed around a cornerstone of five carefully chosen guest speakers, who will each address their specific area of expertise within commercial real estate investment. Course readings, case studies, exercises and assignments complement the guest lectures. With its “hands-on” practical orientation, this course provides many opportunities to put...

...Requirements Analysis Paper Justin Morris NTC/415 September 7, 2015 Mark Baker Requirements Analysis Paper “Requirements analysis, also called requirements engineering, is the process of determining user expectations for a new or modified product” (Rouse, 2007). Requirements analysis is a type of project management that takes place with IT (Information Technology) professionals that are redesigning or designing a new network. The requirements analysis has two different documents. “The combination of all the requirements and locations is expressed in two documents: a requirements specification and a requirements map” (Axia College, 2015, Week Three Reading). Required Sections for Requirements Analysis The requirements analysis has three major sections that are required. These three sections are: gather and list requirements, develop service metrics, and characterize behavior. These three sections are then analyzed to become two required sections that are develop and map requirements. The first section of the requirements analysis (gather and list requirements) has five sub-sections that make it up. These five sub-sections are: user, application, device, network and other requirements. The user requirements is broken into several different general requirements that need to be covered for the user requirements. According to Axia College Week Three Reading (2015), these general requirements are: timeliness, interactivity, reliability, presentation quality, adaptability...
