Coding School Assignments
This semester I am taking a course where all the assignments revolve around “design.” At least that’s what we are told. For the most part, the design consists of drawing UML diagrams, and the coding the the rest. The one pet peve of mine is, the design exam. We knew that the exam will consists of drawing a bunch of UML diagrams in 80 minutes, handing them in, getting them back in few hours (the proffesor wants to make copies to prevent cheating, and for grading purposes) and then having a week to code up the application according to the UML. Of course we don’t know what the application to be design is supposed to be.
Here’s the kicker: Any deviation from the “design” will cost us points.
Now, my question is, does this really show if one is able to design well?
