Want to Learn:
About Aspects of software engineering beyond coding. I enjoy the design process and would like to learn effective ways of building the software application from the ground up.
Other goals for the class:
Improve my teamwork skills, as they will be crucial in my career after college.
Role you would like to play in a project and skills you bring:
I would like to play a managerial role such as project manager. I really enjoy organizing projects and being involved with all team members. I have been a HTA since sophomore year and consider the skills required for that job to be very similar to a group project. I was also project manager for my cs32 group (in addition to coding) and found that it was a challenge to keep everyone motivated and productive.
I don't consider myself to be a great coder, so I am definitely interested in the other aspects of the project such as documentation, web development and design.
