Overview of course work
Four assignments, each of a different form
- A standard homework, a paper distilling research in an area, an assessment of a research prototype tool, etc.
- All turned in electronically; each worth 23% of the grade
The other 8% will represent your interaction in lecture and (more importantly) on the mailing list
- Discussion of papers, of lectures, and of other software engineering issues on your mind
- This is especially important for a distance learning class
- It’s the best way to learn from each other
- You are responsible for pushing the discussion threads, although the TA and I will participate
