I have updated the Midterm Exam Key. First, I have included the answers for Problem 6. Secondly, I corrected the KEY for problem 1 (first defn), and Problem 5 (Data Flow Diagram) - the Context Diagram was not called for.
I have posted the KEY for the Midterm Exam on the EXAMS and QUIZZES page. The Key to Problem 6 is not done yet. I will do that when I get in the office later this AM. Instructions are given for grading each problem. Please try to get the results to me by Monday via email. I will have compiled the results of the Peer and Lead evaluations by then as well.
I have posted lecture notes 11a and 11b on Software Testing on the NOTES page.
The complete Midterm exam is now posted. You have until 5:00pm Friday to complete the exam and return it to me. After noon, slide hardcopies in an envelop marked with your name under my office door, or email the exam to me.
I have posted the first installment of the Midterm Exam on the QUIZZES and EXAMS page - The Lead and Peer Evaluation Forms. I may post some of the questions before NOON today and then add to them later, but the exam will be complete by 6:00pm today.
I have updated Lecture 6 (Use Case Modeling) and Lecture 9 (Analysis & Design Modeling). I will be posting a study guide for the Midterm exam sometime tomorrow.
I have added links on the NOTES page! These are resources on Software Estimation. Download these for your personal reference and use. Lecture 10 notes are also posted.

Lecture 9 on Analysis & Design Modeling has been posted.
I have updated the NOTES pages with a link for tonight's lecture. We will be conducting a case study of a Toll Gate System - modeling it both with Data Flow Diagrams and with Use Case Diagrams.
I have updated the NOTES pages with links to the two documents for writing software requirements.
I have updated the NOTES pages with an example of a Use Case Model.
I have updated the NOTES pages with Lectures 5 & 6 on Requirements Modeling. I will be lecturing on this material this week.
I have updated the Weekly Report Template on the NOTES page. Team leads should download this new spreadsheet. It is designed to summarize the week's data until WRMS is up and running. This is how it works. There is a worksheet for each team member; you can rename the worksheet with people's names. Following the individual worksheets there is a summary worksheet already set up to compute the totals from the individual worksheets - DO NOT CHANGE this worksheet except to enter the team member's names at the top. Following the Summary worksheet there are two other work sheets. The team lead should fill out these sheets - they are used for recording weekly issues and making plans for the next week. I will hold a meeting of the Team Leads before class on TUESDAY to explain how to fill out these sheets.
I have updated (slightly) the course Schedule and Lecture 2 slides on the NOTES page.
As Promised, I have posted several files and documents required for the three simulation projects. Access the new link on the ASSIGNMENTS page. Download these files and begin reading. I will go over this material with each team.
I have posted the Project and Team Assignments on the ASSIGNMENTS page (link activated today). While I hope these are agreeable to everyone, we will finalize them tonight in class. Consider today the start of the Project. I will discuss start up procedures in class.
I have updated the ASSIGNMENTS page. Note the section on Project Descriptions - this is just an initial list. I will solicit your wishes in class tonight.
I have posted notes for Lectures 1 and 2 and have activated several important links on the NOTES page.
