STUDENT EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
EVALUATION: Following is the Evaluation system for the Final Grade. Each assignment will be graded. Students are responsible for completing them as scheduled.
Final Project, Mid-term and Final exams are mandatory.
      Assignments: One assignment  given prior to the mid-term exam and one assignment  given after the mid-term exam.
Final Project: The purpose of the course project is to provide the students with the knowledge of software engineering methodology and the skills to apply it. The project consists of two iterations, both focused around the same software product. The first iteration is exploratory and represents the first attempt at developing the proposed software product. The second iteration is development and also includes revision of the project goals. The deliverables for the first and second iteration are reports and demos.
GRADING: Academic dishonesty will result in grade F. The following grade scale will be used:
90 % - 100% = A
      80 % -  89%  = B
      70 % -  79%  = C
      60 % -  69%  = D
      0   -    59%    = F
Final grades will be computed based upon credits earned for all the five components mentioned above.
