Getting Help

General questions about the homework assignments should be directed to the instructor at the above e-mail address. You are encouraged to use the eLearning discussion group for the course on D2L. Therefore, you should check the discussion group whenever you have a question about the assignment as someone else may have already asked it and received an answer. In addition, you are welcome to drop by during the office hours.


Course Description

Software Engineering is the application of engineering and management disciplines to computer software projects. Topics discussed are the software lifecycle, CASE tools, requirement engineering, software models and architectures, software design and development, testing and validation, maintenance and evolution, project organization, management and cost estimation, and software quality assurance and risk analysis.

Grading

Homework assignments (10% of the course grade) 
Since we will be using eLearning (D2L) for submission and grading, you must upload an electronic copy of your assignment by the due date. If you choose not to typewrite your assignment, you will need to scan and upload your submission and also provide me with a hardcopy of your submission.

 

Library research assignment (5% of the course grade)

In this research assignment, please use UCO library and database search facilities, locate, access, and read one article published within five years by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) or by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).  The article must be relevant to topics of AI Augmented Software Engineering.

 

Quizzes (10% of the course grade)

There will be multiple short quizzes in this semester. The quizzes will be announced at least two days ahead of the test.

Midterm exam (30% of the course grade) 
There will be one in-class midterm exam. The midterm
exam is tentatively scheduled on Wednesday, March 13th, 2024.

Final exam (30% of the course grade) 
There will be a comprehensive final exam. Exam date: May 8th, 2024.

Project (10% of the course grade) 
The project is team-based. Each team consists of 3 ~ 4 persons. Besides finishing all the documents, e.g., system proposal, project plan, system design, test plan, test cases, etc., you need to develop a prototype with the major components of the system functioning correctly. There will be a final demonstration of your system by the end of the semester.

Class participation (5% of the course grade)

·       A student is allowed to miss two complete classes or team meeting periods without penalty. After that, each unexcused absence will be counted. 

·       For In-Person students, attendance is required

·       For IVE students, you MUST use your real name to join our online sessions

·       If you cannot make the class, you must watch the video within 48 hours after the class. Please update your attendance records in D2L accordingly.

o   In-person students should let the instructor know your absence before the class starts.

·       To improve the learning quality, students are encouraged to actively ask questions, answer questions, and get involved in discussions. Attitude is everything.


Course Policies

Collaboration policy 
Except being specified explicitly, the assignments and presentations are group works. Each group consists of three to four persons.

Academic integrity policy 
You are expected to maintain the utmost level of academic integrity in the course, in accordance with the academic integrity policy of the University of Central Oklahoma. In particular, (a) it is your responsibility to protect your work from unauthorized access, and (b) the work you submit is expected to be your own. Academic dishonesty has no place in a university or anywhere else: it wastes our time and yours, and it is unfair to everyone else. Any violation of this code will be penalized, as we take this issue very seriously. Any student observed cheating will receive a grade of zero on the exam or assignment, and the appropriate college administrative personnel contacted. A second offense will result in dismissal from the class with a grade of F.

Late assignment policy 
Barring extenuating circumstances, all assignments and projects must be turned in on the date specified. You will be given three ''free'' late days, with the restriction that no more than two free late days can be spent on each homework assignment. If it is a group assignment, students of the entire group will be considered using the free late days. After you use up the free late days, your late submissions will be penalized as follows. Assignments turned in within 24 hours of the due date will receive 90% of its score. Assignments turned in within 48 hours of the due date will receive 70% of its score. Assignments more than 48 hours late will not be accepted.

If you decide to use free late day(s), please clearly indicate the number of free late days you have used when you submit your assignment. Without such a notification, your late submission will be penalized as discussed above.

Regrade policy 
The TA and professor will grade your work carefully. However, questions about grading do occasionally arise. If so, first read the solutions. If questions persist, please see me of that problem (come to office hours or schedule an appointment). In the interests of smooth administration and to encourage you to look at your graded work soon after it is returned, regrade requests must be made within two weeks of when the work was returned. We reserve the rights to make regrade decisions "off-line" (i.e., not immediately at the time requested).

COURSE VIDEOS

Due to limitations on the disclosure of personally identifiable information under certain federal privacy laws, students are not permitted to record class sessions or allow non-students to view online class sessions. Sharing links of class videos or add class videos to a public list is also prohibited.  Students registered with the UCO Office of Disability Support Services may request accommodation of the prohibition and must present a copy of the DSS letter to the instructor.

 

 

Title IX

The University of Central Oklahoma complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Students with disabilities who need special accommodations must make their requests by contacting Disability Support Services, at (405) 974-2516.  The DSS Office is located in the Nigh University Center, Room 305. Students should also notify the instructor of special accommodation needs as soon as possible. Per Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”), pregnant and parenting students may request adjustments by contacting the Title IX Coordinator, at (405) 974-3377 or TitleIX@uco.edu. The Title IX Office is located in the Lillard Administration Building, Room 114D.
