Information systems programs typically include a system analysis and design course that requires students to develop a system for either a real or simulated firm. This is inherently a less structured task than students have confronted in other courses. The Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm has proven to be very useful in industry and also can be effectively used in student projects. It is applicable to projects using either traditional or object-oriented methodologies. The MVC paradigm is presented along with guidelines for its use in a systems analysis and design course. A simple example of the code structure using a procedural scripting language is given.

Keywords: System Analysis and Design, MVC, framework
