CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ What should you do as students enter the classroom for the first time?.
Answer: Greet students at the door and direct them to an assignment written
on the board.
◍ As students work on a written assignment, you should:.
Answer: Move about the room to monitor their progress.
◍ One effective technique for getting and keeping students on task is to:.
Answer: Whisper instructions in a quiet voice.
◍ When students give wrong answers during an activity, you should:.
Answer: Acknowledge the effort made and redirect the question to another
student.
◍ History of Software Engineering.
Answer: Introduced in the 1960s, because people were building large
programs that were complex, over-budget, and behind schedule. Researchers
decided that these problems must be systematically addressed, and it was
born with the initial goals of building large software systems.
◍ When is it appropriate to use sarcasm with a student?.
Answer: Using sarcasm is never appropriate.
◍ Essential Software Problems.
Answer: Complexity: No two software parts are alike (if they were, they
would be unified into one). Because each part of the software is unique,
complexity does not grow on a linear scale with size.Conformity: Software
must conform to the existing environment.Changeability: Software is under
, pressure to change constantly. Other manufactured items are infrequently
changed, and all successful software must get changed.Invisibility: Software
is invisible and un-visualizable. It is not inherently embedded into space,
and communicating concepts about software is difficult.And accidental
errors such as human error, poor interface, inadequate abstraction, and lack
of training.
◍ Differences Between Software Engineering & Computer Science.
Answer: Both are concerned with computer software and everything related,
BUT: SWE is focused on applications of concrete knowledge to engineering
processes while CS is focused on both abstract and concrete knowledge.
◍ SDLC Models.
Answer: (Software Development Lifecycle Models)Frameworks defining
the tasks performed at each step in the software development process. They
provide structure to the development process.
◍ The first step you should take when a student or group of students is
behaving inappropriately is to:.
Answer: Decide if the behavior requires an action on your part.
◍ When a student's conduct has negative effects on the learning environment,
you should:.
Answer: Say something positive to the student.
◍ As a general rule, teachers should spend the most time:.
Answer: Praising students who are behaving appropriately.
◍ WBS.
Answer: (Work Breakdown Structure)A document and chart used as a
means of identifying all the activities a project must undertake.
◍ Major Activity.
Answer: The top of the WBS chart, identifying the main task at hand. Every
node after it is broken down into smaller tasks.
◍ Gantt Chart.
, Answer: A time and activity bar chart that is used for planning, managing,
and controlling major programs that have a distinct beginning and end.
Requires that activities are defined before its use. Helpful for resource
planning and scheduling, but does not show dependencies between tasks.
◍ Slack Time.
Answer: The time that an activity can be delayed without delaying the entire
project; the difference between the late and early start times of an activity.
Shaded in a Gantt chart.
◍ Prepare yourself for presenting lessons in the classroom by:.
Answer: Mastering a number of teaching strategies.
◍ PERT Chart.
Answer: (Program Evaluation & Review Technique)A chart specifying the
sequence of activities, time requirements, and critical path for performing
the steps in a project. Requires all activities are listed and have estimated
lengths.
◍ Critical Path.
Answer: In a PERT chart, this is the sequence of tasks that takes the longest
time to complete.
◍ You want to help students be more creative as they solve problems. You
write on the board, "What might happen if an earthquake destroyed your
city?" What teaching strategy should you use as you continue?.
Answer: Brainstorming
◍ When asking questions it is MOST important to:.
Answer: Wait for 5-10 seconds for a response.
◍ Prescriptive Model.
Answer: An SDLC model following a highly structured process, featuring
an ordered approach to development and many planning phases. Promotes
ordered approaches to development and project management. Also called
the "plan-driven model."Examples: Waterfall, Spiral, Unified Process
, ◍ Agile Model.
Answer: An SDLC model that emphasizes continuous feedback and
cross-functional teamwork. Simple to learn and featuring adaptive software
processes, emphasizing unique aspects of software development.Examples:
Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum, Kanban
◍ Agile Manifesto.
Answer: Individuals and interactions are prioritized over processes and
toolsWorking software is prioritized over comprehensive
documentationCustomer collaboration is prioritized over contract
negotiationResponding to changed is prioritized over following a plan
◍ Refactoring.
Answer: Modifying a program to improve its structure or make it simpler to
understand.
◍ Objectives of SDLC Types.
Answer: Agile: Rapid Value (early product releases)Prescriptive: High
Assurance (making sure the software is correct)
◍ Challenges of Agile Models.
Answer: - The success of the project is highly dependent on customers-
Some personalities may not work well in a highly collaborative environment
(individuals may prefer working alone)- Prioritization is hard, especially if
you have multiple stakeholders- Simplicity takes a lot of time and effort- It
is difficult for organizations to adapt to agile methods, because they are
entrenched in the existing process
◍ Which of the following activities is most appropriate for the last 10 minutes
of class?.
Answer: Introduce a short learning activities for the entire class from your
resource kit.
◍ Benefits of Agile Models.
Answer: Improved communication, awareness of other people's work, and
less process overhead
