This is one for Paula, but I can see problems proposing different modules with similar levels of difficulty... it would be big SRS you'd have to create!<br><br>Of course no unit 3/4 outcome can be undertaken as true group work, and integration testing their modules would involve quite a bit of student and code interaction...<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Agreed, U4O1 is not required to be a prototype. I look at it this way -- I will give my students an SRS. The scope and constraints will indicate what the solution
can and cannot do. So prototype or not, students must write a solution according to the FRs and NFRs. Their testing is based on those requirements.

<br>
Thoughts from anyone?<br>

model of a more complete solution ? It is not important what we call it, but what we actually ask the students to do.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

The WindowsPhone SDK uses C# which is approved. The XBox XNA environment is also programmed with C# which is also approved. I am told you can write Xbox games in Visual Basic now. See
