Overview
This unit in designed to increase your knowledge
and skills in four key areas of software engineering: object-oriented
programming skills, quality assurance techniques, project management and
working in software teams, and professional practice and tools for software
engineering.
Getting Started
The handbook
entry and general unit policies are all available from the online unit
outline. You should make sure you read and understand this
document, particularly the rules defining satisfactory progress. In
addition, please be aware of the timing and significance of both the HECS
census date and the deadline for withdrawal without academic penalty.

A six-point unit is deemed to
be equivalent to one quarter of a full-time workload, and so you will be
expected to commit 10-12 hours per week to the unit, averaged over the
entire semester. Careful attention to time management will be needed to
ensure that you are not overloaded when deadlines approach.
Assessment
The
assessment scheme for CITS1220 consists of a midterm test, a programming
project (with submitted lab exercises throughout the semester), a group
project and a 2 hour examination.
Code is submitted using the cssubmit program,
and hard copy reports to the CSSE office.
During the semester your marks will be available for checking in the
csmarks program.
