Doing Well in CSC301

CSC301 is (in our, possibly biased, opinion) an awesome course allowing students to get hands-on experience to create meaningful projects. Lots of students have told us it helped them land internships! It is unlike most courses you have taken - not only will you gain experience writing code, you will also gain experience with managing a software project. It is highly rewarding depending on the effort you put into it.

That being said, past students have found the following to be useful:

• Start sprint work & assignments early
• Don't slack on stand-ups - they're there for a reason!
• Create a meeting agenda with all your required points of discussion so that meetings don't run over time
• Work with group members that align with your goals for CSC301
