Paper Abstract:
|
This paper addresses the assessing of progress in students acquiring working expertise and academic framework in the
agile software development domain. It summarises experience in the delivery of the module to students with a diverse
range of backgrounds and technical abilities. This challenge has driven the attempt to develop a student-centred approach
to learning and teaching. By its nature, agile methods are iterative and therefore require assessment thought the system
development life-cycle. It also requires both technical and softer skills, both of which are assessed. Workshops
assessing interaction such as pair programming, user-developer interaction and also mentoring and support had to be
included in the pedagogical model. |
