Abstract

The paper discusses a course in software development, as advocated by the CC2001 report. The course revolves around a single project divided into six assignments. In addition, the course includes lab assignments covering the tool of the week. The order of coverage of topics and the order of labs is determined using just-in-time learning. Grading criteria and an assessment of the course are discussed.
