admittedly there are hurdles, such as the amount of direction each student or teamwould require in order to produce useful artifacts.The rest of the paper is divided into two parts. First, the author describes his own experience andrecounts lessons learned. The second part explores how these techniques might be applied tocourses in other areas of software engineering.2. A Case Study: Object-Oriented Design and DevelopmentEarly in his career, the author developed a course in object-oriented programming and conceptsof object orientation. The course in question is an advanced undergraduate and masters-levelcourse. About twenty years ago, he realized that students in the course could develop webapplications that were useful in managing the course. Early

we are in for a career of stressful project rewrites, but it does mean if we want to keep thecourse current, we will have to find a pace of making changes that we can maintain indefinitely,reminiscent of one the principles of agile development: Agile processes promote sustainabledevelopment. [Everyone] should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. [4].Related WorkWeb-development projects – especially those involving the development of small e-commerceweb sites – are popular in software engineering education. They work well with project-basedlearning [5] and agile methods [6]. They are well-suited for courses where industry collaborationor a real-world feel is desired [7][8], especially in capstone projects [9]. We found that

Eventhough some students indicated they were not fond of the reading reflections, some admitted thatthe reflections were a good way to ensure that students actually read the textbook. One commentacknowledged that the reflections made them read but suggested improving the methodsomehow.
