[Year 12 SofDev] Student SAT Proposals

Tue Apr 26 10:34:23 AEST 2016

Daryl: Thanks for the list

Carlin: I am no expert but the proposals as a first draft in general look fine.
No 7 "To do List" seems a little simple and maybe needs categories or some other data;
No 8: Iis very unclear and sounds like it is just a random number generator which would be too simple

The expectation I have (due to the work done earlier in the modules) is that the program enters data, is searchable, sorts data and creates some form of report.

Hi Carlin

My students will probably give me feedback like yours and struggle with their written proposal.  The solution maybe is to create a proforma to force students to think about design and processing functions for their proposal first up. Below, off the top of my head, are a list of headings/questions that students could respond to.

1. Title of proposal
2. name of client
3. context of business(ie trying to tease out what the need is).
4. Information problem.
5. Information solution (what will your project actually do?).
6. What will the user inputs be?
7. What will the outputs be and how will data be stored?
8. What programing language will you use?
9. What processing features of the project are you able to do already?
10. What processing features of the project can't you currently do?
11. For features you cannot currently do how will you acquire these skills?

I know there is some overlap here with the SRS but it would not hurt for students to think about these issues as soon as possible.

Cheers

Hi All,

I was wondering if I could get a second opinion on these collated students proposals. Warning - they are a rough student draft :)
Being a newcomer to SofDev, I ultimately want to make sure I do not approve a students' proposal if it too large/small or not going to satisfy the criteria without change.

Another query: Although students have been able to articulate their client ideas, students struggle with writing their proposal. - Does anybody have any pointers to help ease this process for the students?

Hoping I am not too far behind the 8-ball.

Kind Regards,
