| Course abstract | |
| The aim of the study course is to provide in-depth knowledge of software development models. The course teaches the traditional software development models and the models that recently have acquired the popularity. The waterfall model and its modified versions, rapid (RAD) and agile (Agile) development methods are analysed, as well as user-oriented design. The course characterizes recommended usage of modern methods and their differences from the traditional methods. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| As a result of mastering the study course, master students:
• know about software development traditional and agile models - practical work • have skills to evaluate the context and select more appropriate development model - practical work • acquire competence working in teams or independently, to use defined different software development models to guide their implementation, as well as persuade others and argue their views - practical work. |

| Requirements for awarding credit points | |
| Students must successfully pass the introductory and final tests, must develop all practical work and obtain a successful assessment for each work | |
| Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work | |
| Students must independently learn additional information about the topics covered in the lectures. The tasks of the practical work are analyzed during the practical classes, students must independently prepare an analytical description of the topic of each work. The tasks of the independent work will be related to the software development models acquired in the lectures | |
| Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes | |
| The test mark is formed as the average mark from the evaluation of practical work. The mark can be raised by answering additional questions on the topic of practical work. | |
