This webpage provides several in-class
role-play exercises for an introductory software engineering course.
The exercises are described in the paper "
Integrating Role-Play into Software Engineering Courses," to appear in Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges, 2006.
These exercises take 1-2 class periods and can easily be integrated
into any software engineering course with a semester long group project.
You can download all the .doc files in
all.tar.
In my courses I administer a
survey
after each exercise (usually the next class period). I use the
answers to measure students' reaction to the exercise and to improve
the exercises.
