^ Note #1: Ch. 1 and 3 in the Bruegge & Dutoit textbook are briefly reviewed in the class. The student should read these for their own reference, but they'll not appear in the exams/project-reports. Ch. 3 gives a good advice about managing the teamwork.

^ Note #2: UML is introduced in Bruegge & Dutoit Ch. 2 and more comprehensive treatment is available in Miles & Hamilton's Learning UML 2.0. There will be no lectures covering exclusively UML. Rather, the symbols will be explained as they're introduced in the context of software development methodology. Miles & Hamilton and Ch. 2 of Bruegge & Dutoit should serve as reference material.
