Cole asked his law students to answer an anonymoussurvey asking whether or not they believe laptops were a useful tool in the classroom. As statedin his article “[a]bout 80 percent reported that they are more engaged in classroom discussionwhen they are laptop free.”2 Additionally, “95 percent admitted that they use their

To achieve this, Horgan, Smith and Thomas in their 2005 ACEpaper5 suggested a problem domain that accurately reflects the concerns and priorities of a real industryclient. They also proposed a Real World Software Process with four different phases: (1) Phase Zero –developing a project proposal which addresses the client‟s needs and clearly identifies goals and successcriteria, (2) Phase One – requirements gathering, release planning, and the initial development, (3) PhaseN – the generic, repeatable cycle in which the functionality of the system is incrementally extended andthe

This standarddefines a general process for including human-centered activities throughout a development life-cycle. The four activities that form the main cycle of work include: 1.

Students in the course work very closely with the members of their project group(generally 4 or 5 students per group) and typically have limited interaction with other membersof the class. Roughly 350 students take the course in the Fall semester. These students aredistributed among many sections (9 sections in Fall 2021 and 8 sections in Fall 2022). A typicalsection has 40 to 50 students and is co-taught by two instructors.The “Connections” group was started during the Fall 2021 semester.
