Course Organization:  The semester will be divided into two parts.  The first half will consist of lectures covering Chapters 1 through 7.  Weekly homework assignments and assigned reading projects.  The test will be given at the end of the first half.  The second half will include lectures covering Chapters 10 through 15, however the emphasis will be given to the group project and related assignments.

 

 

Test(s) and the Final Exam: A test will be administered during class before Spring break.  The test will cover the material from the lectures, homework assignments and the assigned readings.  All tests and final exam will be closed book.  Make-up test will be administered only if excused in advance.

 

Homework:  Homework will be assigned weekly or bi-weekly during the semester

 

 

Late homework will be accepted with 20% of the grade deducted per day

 

 

 

Attendance:  Regular attendance is expected

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Academic Integrity:  All tests, programs and homework are to be done independently by each student, except for specified group projects.  Copying of partial or complete work will not be tolerated and will be referred to the University Judicial System.  Do not throw away or recycle any notes until the end of the semester.  Should a question of authorship arise you will be expected to produce hand-written and printed documents that trace the development of your work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Course objectives: The broad course objectives are the following:

  • To learn the methodology, techniques, and tools that are fundamental to the software development process
  • To be able to apply these concepts to practical problems
  • To gain a basic understanding of how large software is developed
  • To understand the basic roles played by developers in the software engineering process
