My general course policies apply to this course.
A major portion of this course in developing and improving your own individual software process. You will only get the full benefit of the experience if you do your own work. You may discuss ideas and approaches with other students and faculty, but you may not share source code for all or part of a lab project. Appropriate types of interaction and sharing of ideas are explained in the textbook and are discussed further in class. If you have any questions about the interpretation of this policy, please discuss them with the instructor.
| Lab assignments | 30% |
| Pattern example/report/presentation | 20% |
| Mid-term exam | 20% |
