Faculty Introduction

Greetings! I am Instructor Judy Davidoff, and I am pleased to be the instructor for this online version of CGS 1060C.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself-- my associate of arts degree in Management Information Systems is from Broward Community College, my bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems is from Barry University, and my master's degree in Computing Technology in Education is from Nova Southeastern University.

My full-time job at BCC is supervising the Academic Center for Technology computer lab for faculty and staff here at Central Campus. I am also responsible for the Central Campus web pages. I teach computer courses in my spare-time and my favorite place to get away to is Disney World with my family.
