Catalog description

Students study the design and implementation of large software systems. Topics include design methodologies, programming team organization and management, program verification and maintenance, human engineering, and CASE tools.

What we're really going to study:

We're going to learn practical aspects of writing software where we must first determine what is required, then determine what's permitted, then design, develop, and test software. We'll look at different methods for each of these steps and learn what's most appropriate for the project at hand.

Grading

Programming is not just about writing syntatically correct programs which compute the correct results. It is also about writing commentary and other documentation which will help others understand what you're doing. (This matches one of the University goals which emphasizes "the ability to communicate clearly and effectively".) Therefore you will also be expected to write clearly. Spelling, grammar, and style count.
