Updated Midterm information: I have decided to split the results of the midterm by student category: graduate students, undergraduates, and CAETE students. I will be using separate scales to determine final grades for each of these categories.

• Undergraduates: 27 undergraduates took the test. The average score was 99.8 out of 150. The lowest score was 37. The highest score was 145. The most common score (the mode) was 99. The median was 102. Finally, the standard deviation was 24.0 points.
• Graduate Students: 27 in-class graduate students took the test. The average score was 127.3 out of 150. The lowest score was 103. The highest score was 148. The most common score was 135. The median was 127. Finally, the standard deviation was 11.0 points.
• CAETE Students: 10 CAETE students took the test. The average score was 129.8 out of 150. The lowest score was 89. The highest score was 148. The most common score was 132. The median was 133. Finally, the standard deviation was 17.5 points.

Midterm for CAETE Students: The in-class students took the midterm today. CAETE students must take the midterm by next Tuesday, March 8, 2005. I released the test to CAETE yesterday and they should be faxing it to your test proctors today. Please arrange to take the test by March 8, 2005 with your test proctor. After you are done, your test proctor should fax the exam to me at 303-492-2844 AND mail the exam back to me at the address provided to your test proctor. The exam should be postmarked by March 8, 2005. Send e-mail if you have any questions!

Lecture 14 is now available. Note: I'm reusing a lecture I gave in 2001 on the topic of interaction diagrams. So the format/template of this lecture does not match the format of the previous lectures. Sorry.

I have written up some answers to the question in Lecture 13 that I was unable to answer that day. Enjoy (and feel free to contribute to the discussion)!

I have FINALLY graded homework 1 and will start grading homework 2 soon. I enjoyed reading your homework 1 essays, we have a lot of interesting people taking this class and for those of you with extensive software development backgrounds, I hope I can encourage you to speak out more in class (or share experiences with me via Email for CAETE students). We would all gain from hearing about your experiences, especially if they support or contradict what I say in class!

10:27 AM MST

Lecture 12: Due to a technical problem, Lecture 12 cannot be placed on-line at the CU Anywhere site. Instead, CAETE is making CDs of lecture 12 available in the CAETE office (near the elevators in ECOT). Stop by to pick one up before the midterm!
