Class Recordings:

Class sessions will be recorded and made available to students asynchronously

Vision:

Software engineering is both a profession and a methodology for formal software development. CSE 110 offers you the opportunity to learn common software practices used in industry on an application which you will build with a small team. This course fosters an environment where creativity is maximized through the use of tried and tested techniques built from years of practice in the software industry. What you learn in this course will help you improve upon your development skills and master standard software engineering techniques used in industry today.

Compensation:

Grades will be awarded based approximately on the following breakdown:

5%	Participation: status reports, time reporting
5%	Teamwork: 3 peer reviews (PR), team presentations
10%	Virtual Labs via Zoom: 8 weekly labs
	Credit is given for lab completion on Wednesdays during scheduled lab hours. An In-Progress Check is only awarded during your enrolled lab time on the day that the lab is assigned. A Lab Completion Check is awarded on Wednesdays 9am-5:50pm. Don't wait until 5:30pm to put in a ticket, since tutors might not get to you before 5:50pm. To get a lab check add a ticket to the Autograder queue. Be sure to include two tags in your ticket: One tag for the priority of your ticket: 9am-11:50am 12pm-2:50pm 3pm-5:50pm Low Priority One tag appropriate to your situation: In-Progress Check Lab Completion Check Question The Autograder queue will be served first-come first-serve. Those requesting a check during their enrolled lab time have priority. Lab Credit: In-progress checks extend the credit of the lab by one week. Credit for labs decreases by 20% each week.
