Clif Kussmaul · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2005
Many people in and out of academia agree that we need to help students improve their writing and other communication skills. In addition to making students more employable, writing can help them understand difficult concepts. In this paper, we describe how agile software development techniques can help improve student writing. Specifically, we discuss risk management, appropriate processes, spiral development, and peer reviews, and how they have been applied in a team project course and a non-majors course.
