Students will demonstrate an understanding of the SDLC phases and develop the following individual documents: Software Requirements, Software Design, Code, Test Plan, and implementation plan. A team programming project is included. Prerequisites: CS SI2420 and ENGL 3100 or TBE 3250. Recommended prerequisite: CS 3100.

Students with Disabilities:

Any student requiring accommodations or services due to a disability must contact Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) in room 181 of the Student Services Center. SSD can also arrange to provide course materials (including this syllabus) in alternative formats if necessary.

Allocated Time:

You should anticipate spending two to three hours of study per week for each credit hour of a university course. Computer and programming classes typically require time in the upper range.
