We'll make modelers out of 'em yet
Eric J. Rapos · 2018
The prevalence of model-driven software engineering in industry combined with a personal interest in the topic led to the conception of a new course aimed at introducing students to topics related to modeling. This paper presents a retrospective examination of this course, including: a course overview, intra-student grade comparisons on topic-centered assessments, and student feedback regarding course topics and implementation. The paper provides sufficient detail of the course offering such that, if desired, readers could offer a course with similar goals, outcomes, and structure. Finally, specific lessons learned are presented in hopes of enabling future improvements to the course and as a warning to other academics should they begin to offer similar courses.
