I'm very, very new here. I have to say seeing some of the banter makes the group much less intimidating to join in and ask a question or share a thought. This...
Steven, I confess that I'm a bit confounded by some of your observations. Is it really true that the students get to determine the computer science curriculum...
... The only observation about student expectations I made was that they object to assignments where the requirements are not fixed. I also believe that no...
Hi Steve [Gordon} The lab you describe sounds like it should be included in all CS curricula. Dartmouth had a similar "lab" wherein students (graduate...
The CS discipline does not intend to produce skilled developers ready for corporate software development; just computer scientists. I would suspect the...
Right on Steve - very well put (although where I'm coming from, I view such research as much less problematic than you mentioned.) Much of the generalized...
My sincere thanks to everyone who has responded to my original inquiry i.e. "Professor has questions", shared by Erin, about agile in the CS curriculum - I've...
Kate, Comments are integrated below. My ultimate dream would be to: - integrate the two semesters into a single class if it is possible to require students to...
As I suspected, it does seem to come down to the charter or perceived mission of the school: to train computer scientists on the one hand or, on the other...
I think Richard's comment: "All I want to say is that there's more to software development than algorithms and code." really sums up the crux of the problem...
... Do not forget on-the-job coaching. Training is much like lecturing - much of it is forgotten when it does not seem relevant to exactly what one is doing...
... The question is how to teach that to students whose only software development experience is working alone on smallish class assignments with fixed...

(responding to Kate) ... I would add a small bit about the 'lean' concepts of enabling flow and of reducing cycle time. These I find are very helpful to...
Can folks share their experience about how to tackle the idleness(/performance drop) of team members near the end of iterations? For example, a set of members...
Why shouldn't they help other team member complete their work? Anyway, assigned work? Who assigned them work? Don't team members just pick up whatever tasks...

not that i do it perfectly... But what I try to do is have the planning bits start ahead of time, in an overlapping fashion. This applies best to a project...
Yuri, Thankyou for these interesting presentations of AORE. They reflect an approach I've been using in practise for many years now, since the early 1990s at...

That would dilute the focus of the present iteration to some degree, wouldn't it? Does it mean that you take the risk of working on some features/tasks before...
