Computer Science 340

Exam 1 Review


The first hour exam will be on Friday, Oct. 10, and will cover chapters 1 - 7. of the textbook. Textbook slides are available on Plato.  Weekly slides will be available shortly.

The exam will be primarily essay and short questions. Be prepared to define and describe the basic terms of software engineering introduced in the textbook (so far) and to describe the processes involved. In terms of more technical exercises, please be prepared to construct a (small) activity network and a Gantt chart for a small example, and be able to construct a small use-case diagram.  Be prepared to give definitions and descriptions of processess.

We have discussed a number of papers:

Be able to discuss the major themes of these papers, and list and describe the "seven sins". 

Earlier exams are available via my home page.

Please recall that, although I try to be complete in exam reviews, all of the lecture and reading material is fair game. Please do remind me of any significant omissions. Many thanks!
