the project management course inagile methods were encouraged to organize their teams and projects according to scrum.At the core of scrum is the notion of empowering the team to organize the tasks independentlytogether with the idea of quick prototyping for fast customer feedback. Formal methods, incontext, rely more heavily on documentation, planning and preparation. The hypothesis forthis study is that delegating the responsibility of project organization to the student teamwould motivate the students to take a greater responsibility for both the project and their ownlearning, and, that this would promote increased student learning by way of motivatingstudent responsibility.Students of the three scrum-teams took a large responsibility for

At the core, for most capstone teams, the secondsemester focused on concept development and initial efforts towards prototyping and modeling,both of which continue into the third semester.

At the University of Minnesota, we saw strong demand for guidance on writing andcomplying with this requirement. This high level of interest required a cross-disciplinaryapproach to teaching data management skills1. Although successful, this instructional approachdid not facilitate in-depth, domain-specific skill building.

Because language was a known perceivedimplication, the lessons were first written in English with a practice of using symbolicrepresentation of content as much as possible. The theory was that graphicrepresentations of content such as schematic symbols, drawings, pictures, programmingicons, flow charts, mathematic equations and hands on demonstrations were cross-cultural means of communicating and should be incorporated as much as possible.Finally, the lesson plans and other curricular materials were translated into Spanish bythose student teachers with Spanish fluency.
