For the purposes of considering request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Cwth 2005), and Student Support and Engagement Policy, academic requirements for this subject are articulated in the Subject Overview, Learning Outcomes, Assessment and Generic Skills sections of this entry.

It is University policy to take all reasonable steps to minimise the impact of disability upon academic study, and reasonable adjustments will be made to enhance a student's participation in the University's programs. Students who feel their disability may impact on meeting the requirements of this subject are encouraged to discuss this matter with a Faculty Student Adviser and Student Equity and Disability Support: http://services.unimelb.edu.au/disability
Subject Overview:

The objectives of this subject are for students to gain further experience in team-oriented software engineering; to apply their prior experience of team-oriented software engineering to improving all phases of a software project; to participate in management activities for a team project; to be able to manage some of the problems that can arise during execution of the software development process; and to be able to apply a range of software engineering tools. Students will work in teams on a large software project.

Assessment: The major components of assessment are based on the student's ability to participate and contribute to a team based software engineering project. Specifically students will be assessed on their ability to: (1) select and manage a variety of software engineering lifecycles and methods; (2) work in small, diverse teams acting professionally, and planning effectively; (3) analyse, design and implement software systems; (4) communicate effectively in written and oral presentations; (5) explore, evaluate and apply complex computing concepts to a software development project. Each component of assessment is worth 20% of the final mark. To pass the subject students must obtain at least 50% overall, and 10/20 for each of the components.
