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 next 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 course postmortem presentation will count for 10% of your course grade,
your attendance will count for 10%, your class discussion(s) will count for
20%, and your oral and written reports will make up the remaining 60% of your
grade. Late work will be penalized, as will evidence of cheating in any form.
