Math 410 Spring 2006

This last homework (if that's what it should be called) is due May 9, at the last class.

Write a short essay in which you reflect on the course. Here are some questions you can consider - but feel free to make up your own, or ignore these. Don't just write an essay in which you devote one paragraph to each one in turn. Organize your thoughts around your experience.
What did you learn? What was interesting (or boring)? What didn't you learn that you think you should have? How (if at all) has your attitude toward (some part of) software engineering (or computer science in general) changed? What do you think you might remember from this course N years from now? What do you think will be useful (in life, thought or your job)? How hard did you work? When I teach this course again next spring what should I keep? What should I change (add or subtract)? How might I use the class time better?
(Optional, but I'd like an answer if you're willing to provide one.) What grade do you think you have earned in this course? Why? Perhaps frame your answer in three parts: how much you learned, how hard you worked and how much you contributed to KICS - note that these might not be correllated.
If you answer these questions I will take your answers into account when I assign your grade - but reserve the right to enter a higher (or lower) grade than you think you deserve.
