| Objectives | You will work in teams to develop computerized solutions which address significant needs of real clients. The Practicum sequence (C SC 400 and 401) is your opportunity to combine and apply the core software engineering skills you learned in prior C SC courses. These include but are not limited to: analysis, design, programming, testing, debugging, documentation, project management and working in groups. In C SC 401, you will complete the development of your C SC 400 project. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites | C SC 400. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Text | None. You will use textbooks from previous C SC courses for reference. Other reference material provided as needed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Participation | Each of you is an essential element to the success of your project team. Your teammates will expect you to be an active participant in the course project, and you should expect the same of each of them. Most of our class time will be spent in team meetings and activities and most team meetings and activities will occur during class time. You must attend every class session and team meeting if you wish to fulfill your role as an effective team member. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Academic
Integrity |
All members of the Otterbein College community of learners are expected to follow the rules and customs of proper academic conduct. Proper conduct includes avoiding academic misconduct as defined in the Campus Life Handbook. The only opportunity for academic misconduct in this course is claiming individual credit for work done by one or more of your teammates. If this occurs, you will receive a zero grade for that component. The misconduct may also be reported to the Office of the Academic Dean. If a previous academic misconduct offense is on your record, you will receive a grade of F for this course and a referral to the judicial system. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Grading
|
Your course score will be computed using a formula similar to the one
used in C SC 400.
Your C SC 401 grade will be based only on project work completed in C SC
401 and is independent of your C SC 400 score.
Your letter grade is then computed from your course score according to this chart.
