The goal of this assignment is to have you apply the knowledge you learned in this course to a different context, namely, fiction writing. This is a great practice in taking classroom knowledge into different situations. In addition, this kind of writing activity has been known to help solidify long-term learning.
Write a short story (fiction or non-fiction), of roughly 2-4 pages single spaced, 12-pt. font, that embodies one or more software engineering concepts/phenomena taught in this class.
The requirements of this assignment are somewhat flexible, but in order to receive a grade on this assignment, your submission must, at least:
1. Read more like an original story (not an essay or news article or blog or similar), whether fiction or non-fiction.
2. Embody one or more software engineering concepts/phenomena taught in this class. You are allowed to refer to software-failures that ‘made news’, but not simply repeat that story.
3. Be original and not plagiarized (submissions will be run through turnitin.com).
