  • Abstract
    As part of an evening master´s degree program, we need to teach software processes in nine weekly sessions to professionals who work in software development but who have no formal education in software engineering. We have done this successfully for the past few years by a) dividing class time into lectures, supervised student work, and student presentations; and b) evaluating the students based on their analysis of a real software development project, from the perspective of the project´s process. Getting the students more involved in their classmates´ projects is still a challenge.
