CSC 450 – Lectures & Assignments Schedule
How to read
this schedule:
1.
This schedule is subject to change, so refer back to it frequently.
2.
In general, lecture topics are
discussed on the day indicated. However, topics may be discussed a day or so
before or after the scheduled date as the course progresses.
3.
Reading assignments should be
completed before class.
4.
The course is being presented
in an iterative fashion. The goal of this approach is to aid student learning
by exposing them to all the major topics in the software lifecycle before the
final weeks of the course. The course is therefore divided into three parts
called iterations.
a.
The first iteration starts
week 1 and ends week 4.
b.
The second iteration starts
week 5 and ends week 12.
c.
The third iteration starts
week 13 and ends week 16.
