PSP/sup SM/ in the large class

David B. Carrington, Ben McEniery, D. B. Johnston · 2002

Describes our experience with teaching some elements of the Personal Software Process/sup SM/ as part of a second programming course. A distinctive feature was the class size of more than 360 students. The goals were to help students develop good software development habits early, and to encourage them to see software development as a systematic discipline rather than a trial-and-error activity. The results indicate partial success, with indicators for future improvement. We hope that other people will be able to build on our experience of teaching the concepts of PSP to large groups of students.
