10. Justification for course change. Please indicate how past assessments of student learning
prompted the proposed changes.
CS477 centers around UCD (user-centered design), which builds on the usual Software Engineering
design process by adding specific focus and elements related to design of end-user software. The new
prerequisite, i.e. CS 386, better reflects this requirement.
