Class AttendanceClass Attendance

Attendance is expected at any and all scheduled activities: class, lab, team meetings, etc. It is a part of your gradeIt is a part of your grade.

Experience shows that grades are directly related to class attendance.

It’s better to come to class late than miss the class altogether.

N.B. - If you don’t come to class, you can’t participate in the learning process. Do you get to skip work when you don’t want to

go?

Divided into teams for various projects (products) Each team has a team lead

We use a proven, phased development process You develop and get approval for the roadmap

to deliver your product on time Weekly “staff” meetings to review project

I will mentor you & help you learn how to do your job

I will approve your plans I will approve your project expenses I am available for consultation anytime I’m

availableNote: I will take trips, attend off-site meetings, etc., but

the projects must continue... don’t delay critical work I believe every question is worth answering I don’t do your work for you I don’t do your research for you I don’t know everything about anything I expect you to do your job, and will measure you

on how well you do it

Work LoadWork LoadYou have roughly 5-6 months of calendar working 5-6 months of calendar working

timetime for your project. That’s, at most, around 500 man-hours per team member A 5 person team has 2500 man-hours to complete the

project (4 people => 2000 man-hours)Equivalent of about one man-year, or 5 K delivered lines

of source code by typical metrics Don’t pad your schedule trying to make it easy on yourself

Expect to spend 10-15 hours every week outside outside of the classroomof the classroom on the project Failure to expend the required time will result in failure to

complete the project (with a similar effect on your course grade)
