Homework

1. Homework Packet #1 (Chapters 1 and 2): I expect that you spend a reasonable amount of time on each of these questions. While I'd rather not put a size requirement on the length of your answers, a paragraph or two is probably nowhere near what I expect.
   • Case Study for chapter 1: Using a non-trivial system that you have developed during your time at UMaine, either in-class or out, show how the waterfall model "maps" (or fails to "map") onto your system development process.
   • 2.1 (use a simple example from your experience)
   • 2.3 (you might need to do some research on the concept of inheritance. Most good descriptions will address this question)
   • 2.5
   • 2.6 (you might need to do some research on the concept of "open systems." Most good descriptions should hint at this question)
   • 2.7 (by "critically", I mean discuss the pros and cons)
   • 2.9 (represent your answer as a grid, possibly with a spreadsheet)
   • 2.10 (represent your raph neatly, and properly label the arrows to describe their meaning)
