Exam rules:
- students have to manage and develop a software project over the duration of the semester with intermediate checkpoints (meeting with the teacher). The group will have to adopt and simulate the practices typical of a SCRUM team. Visual Paradigm has to be used in particular in reference to its support to SCRUM teams and collaborative work (see link).
- The course also foresees a final written exam in which the student will have to answer questions and solve exercises on the different parts of the course. The exam will last around 2 hours. Students willing to improve their final mark can ask for an additional oral examination.
- The project has to be delivered before taking part to the written paper
Exam Results
- February 5th, 2020 - on Friday 21st students can come to my office to get their exam paper, and to ask possible questions on the solution.
- The groups for which at least one member has to register the mark have to discuss the project by the end of the first week of March (moved one week ahead).
