course overfour non-consecutive years, focusing mainly on the class project. During this period, differentapproaches were used to implement the project activities. These approaches are (a) testing differentcapstone projects that are sponsored by local companies, (b) all student teams testing a singleproject that is being developed at the same time, and (c) testing a single project that has beenpreviously developed. Each approach presented several advantages and challenges for both thestudents and the instructor, as described in the paper. Based on the experience after teaching thecourse with different types of group projects, we present lessons learned and recommendations forfuture editions of the course. These recommendations include offering

practice in a twice a week 85 minute class, we present many adjustments toScrum for use in the classroom. We describe the implementation of the top six agile techniquesused in industry (daily standup, sprint planning, retrospectives, sprint review, short iterations,planning poker) which focuses the learning experience on the most important components of agiledevelopment in addition to including top engineering practices used in industry. Additionally, wereport extensions and variants for adapting this design to existing software engineering courses atother universities. Among these variants we propose adopting class-wide teams which is atypicalat other universities for junior-level project courses.IntroductionThe agile software development is

model the learningoutcomes for the course remain the same for all who enroll regardless of the mode of attendance. Our HyFlex SQA approach consists of lectures (in class, with video recordings), face-to-face activities, as well as group assignments, group projects, and exams all facilitated through anonline campus management system. During the lecture period, the instructor delivers content inthe form of lecture slides and writing on a whiteboard. This poses significant challenges for theinstructor, as the learning outcomes have to be delivered in different modalities, but with the samequality. This is particularly difficult in SQA courses, as these require instruction in formal methodsas well as systematic justification of engineering
