---------------------------------------- CSI 480 - Software Engineering Spring 2016 Website: http://shaunramsey.com/480 480 Classroom/Meetings: DUNN N103 11:30-12:45pm Grade Breakdown: Case Studies: 10% Feasibility: 20% Requirements: 25% Unit Tests: 20% Interface: 15% Presentations: 10% Overview: This course is built around software development cycle and each of its steps. In a firm, you'll often be in a project team where you must work with others. In this course, you'll select your own product and your own client or clients. Every homework will further expand your study on this product. By the end of the course you should be able to go through the steps leading into a software project to ensure its success, be familiar with the software development cycle, the software life cycle, and implementation using both agile development and the waterfall model.
Attendance: Attendance is mandatory in this course. On your sixth absence, you automatically fail the course. As a matter of courtesy, you are expected to notify Dr. Ramsey before class describing the reason of your absence. You must be present on the day of an exam or you will receive a 0. There is no distinction between excused and unexcused absences. It is quite likely that I will email you to discuss the reasons you have missed the class, but it is ultimately your duty to keep track of your absences and to contact me. Missing a class may result in missed classwork and/or quizzes. There are no make-up quizzes or classwork. It is your responsibility to obtain assigned homework, announcements and class notes from a classmate. Coming late to class will also count against you. In this case, every two late arrivals (lates) count as an absence. Thus you fail the course with 12 lates or 6 absences or any mix of the two that add up to 6. Examples are: 2 lates and 5 absences, 4 lates and 4 absences, 6 lates and 3 absences, and so on. Grading: Late assignments will be assessed a value of 0. Accommodations: If you have an accommodation that has been reported to the college, please let me know as soon as possible so I can work to meet your accommodation. You must notify me of any necessary accommodation at least two weeks prior to the requirement. Academic Honesty: You are always subject to the Honor Code of Washington College. Always sign the honor code on materials that you hand in (including homework and exams). All work must be your own.
Exams: The final exam will be administered during its scheduled slot during final exam week. An absence on the day of the exam will result in a grade of 0. Except in cases of very extreme emergency, exams must be taken on the day the exam is given. Before a make-up test is scheduled, documentation of the extreme emergency must be given. Make-up exams for tests missed due to an extreme emergency will be arranged for a time that is mutually convenient for the student and Dr. Ramsey.
