Spring 2009
2
6 students in a directed study Just iPhone Development Put up a few flyers Students sought this out – all eager You will probably have a lot of interest
3
High student interest, but… Set pre-requisites appropriately I did: Data Structures required So, through Programming 3, and Upper division status
4
Remind the students that there will be a LOT of outside reading and self-study Things change so quickly it can become frustrating
5
Started out trying to get our footing Don’t underestimate project planning Calls for a big application we could sell Was going to lead to uneven task distribution Is this OK? Everyone responsible for their own app But it doesn’t have to be huge
6
Software Requirements Documents Told students I wouldn’t hold them to it, just wanted to give feedback and see what they were up to Changes in the market / existing apps / platform make it difficult to plan ▪ Already new functionality in SDK.
7
We had a grad student who had the start of a UNT portal Maps, bus schedules, etc. 3 students decided to add to his UNT portal Me: Great, but each student must do their own functionality or ‘module’
8
Teamed with the business school, UNT Computing center, SOVA for design We had 20 people at the meeting It was going to be great Then…
9
The grad student and the business student fought over control and eventual ‘revenue’. They don’t speak anymore In the end, the students did well – the application was good What could have been?
10
The other 3 students had projects they were interested in individually Time clock for independent contractors Real-estate buddy Book meta-search
11
I think applications specific to an occupation are a good idea.
12
Just grade the executable Make yours better than the others Don’t turn in 80% of this
13
Finish 100 % of this
14
80% of this But, that’s OK
15
More slides More organization from the start Better preparation for self-study Enforce the individual application requirement from the start More frequent milestones
16
Group projects Greed Over-enthusiasm Changing technology Somebody posts your app tomorrow Apple restrictions Sometimes they don’t seem to know what’s allowed
