Scheduling out of class meetings It is extremely difficult to schedule these meetings To make it as simple as possible I will give you a list of possible times for each of the three 1 hour meetings Each group must give me 4-5 selections of times (in order of preference) at which they can attend such meetings.

What are deliverables Each of the Deliverables is a series of tasks (an assignment) Each group demonstrates their understanding of the software engineering methods learned in class by working through the tasks within the related deliverable Different phases or stages of the project are parts of different deliverables Janice Regan, 2008-2014
Deliverable expectations Detailed descriptions of each deliverable are already available on the course website http://www.cs.sfu.ca/CC/275/jregan/assign.html Due dates for each deliverable are also given on this page Each detailed description includes a summary of the expected content and an indication of how marks will be distributed Except under exceptional conditions all team members will receive the same grade Janice Regan, 2008-2014
