SW engineering vs. Systems Analysis
 What you studied in System Analysis course
constitutes part of software engineering.
 Software Engineering is a broader subject.
 To be a software engineer, you must master
several skills, one of which is analysis and
design.
 Q: What was covered in System Analysis
course?

Assessment
Assessment is more than grades:
To many, the word "assessment" simply means the
process by which we assign students grades.
Assessment however is a mechanism for
 providing me with data for improving my teaching
methods, and
 guiding and motivating students to be actively involved
in their own learning.
As such, assessment provides important feedback
to both instructors and students .

Why Team?
 Helps weaker students by providing a resource
 Helps average students by exposing to more
viewpoints
 helps stronger students by allowing them an
opportunity to teach and really learn
 And other benefits, like making new friends.
