ESCI Reminder (Course Evaluations)

You are likely getting many reminders from the automated system about course evaluations (ESCIs). I would like to also remind you to please take a moment to enter your feedback about the course. It is very important.

Response rate as of 1:48pm 06/04/2020:

Lecture Time	Course ID	Enrollment Count	Surveys Completed	Percent Completed

See reminders from Tuesday’s lecture about:

the importance of comments
keeping praise and criticism focused on your learning, rather than enjoyment or personality
being aware of implicit bias

One lesson learned:

git bisect is cool

Note for lab10: Add some notes on testing in Part 2

I encourage you to add a section in part 2, your programmers guide, that describes your testing approach.

What I mean is, to add a few sentences or bullet points that describe:

What parts of your code have unit testing
What parts of your code have cypress testing
- Or for Spring Boot: Integration or Selenium testing

This doesn’t have to be super long or detailed; just a high level description.

Some teams have more test coverage, and some have less
Doing nothing beyond lab07 doesn’t count against you, but
If you did more than the minimum required for lab07, we want to be able to give you credit for it.

Time to work with your teams

Final scheduled standup
Do you need another before final presentation?
- If so, now is the best time to work out the schedule
Decide:
- what isn’t getting done
- of what is still left to be done, what is really necessary?
Determine:
- Most crucial tech blockers

Final Thoughts

I have been really pleased with what I’ve been seeing when I stop in your groups.

Here’s the course description for CS48, turned into a bullet list:

Team-based project development. Topics include

software engineering and professional development practices,

interface design,

advanced library support

techniques for team-oriented design and development

testing and test-driven development

software reliability and robustness.

Students present and demonstrate final projects.

Note that “web development” isn’t on the list; we learned some of that, but that was a means to an end.

We’ve touched on all of the topics in the list, admittedly emphasizing some more than others.

Where I see some real mastery is:

professional development practices
team oriented design and development

I pop in on breakout rooms and I hear you talking about different feature branches and pull requests, QA and production, front-end and back-end, issues, acceptance criteria and your kanban board.

I no longer hear “student teams”. What I hear is the sounds of software industry professionals at work.

I’m really proud of what we’ve accomplished this quarter. I hope you are too.
