Assignment 1

7.2 Your programming team has been given the project to write a GUI program for converting different units of measurement. Discuss your UI with other students. Create (draw) the initial screens for the project.

7.3 Find a person who speaks your language but comes from a different country or region and discuss how the vocabulary and expressions you both use are different. On what kinds of words do you find the most differences?

Any direct quotes from the movie, header, or footer do not count into the length of the paper.

In the midterm paper, you need to identify at least three problems (problems identified must be from the software engineering perspective, do NOT discuss from the general ethics perspective) that could have been avoided if a good software development method is applied in “Office Space”.

  • Identify three problems related to software engineering and describe what the consequences of these problems are respectively; (4 points)
  • Explain what actions you, as a member working on a software project, would have taken in order to avoid those problem respectively; (4 points)
