This course deals with Advanced Software
Engineering Principles and Professional Practice Issues. The purpose behind
this course is to give CIS students the opportunity to sharpen their software
analysis and client communications skills. Students will work with real-world
clients and take software project from the requirements analysis phase through
the implementation and delivery of the product to the customer's site (prior to
the end of the semester). Classroom activities focus on student directed discussions
of current profession issues and presentations based on project milestones from
the software development activities.
You will be required to participate in a
team project and to make both written and oral reports on this work. You will
be required to lead at least one class discussion on the professional practice
readings from the text. Your scores on the presentations and projects will
determine your grade in this course. There will not be any formal examinations
in this class. In place of a cumulative final exam, you will be expected to
make a formal presentation of your software project at the end of the semester.
Your final project document will count for 40% of your course grade, your
project presentation will count for 20%, your class discussion(s) will count
for 20%, and your oral and written reports will make up the remaining 20% of
your grade. Late work will be penalized, as will evidence of cheating in any
form.
