Readings
In some weeks,
we will discuss selected readings in software engineering. You are expected
to attend each meeting having read all the assigned materials and prepared
brief typed summaries of each one. At the beginning of each meeting,
students will be arbitrarily chosen to lead the discussions, so your
summaries will prove invaluable when you are chosen as discussion leader.
Please bring hard copies of your summaries to the meeting.
Your summaries should include not only an
exposition of the material but also questions that arise during your
reading. The success of this course depends on your participating in the
discussion by raising these questions and engaging in the ensuing debate.
