This page is intended to help people choose a good topic for their OOD assignment. Before committing to a topic, talk to User:Warwick Irwin about its suitability.
Contents |
Advice
As far as possible, choose a topic that:-
- You're already involved with for another course, research project or work. You're more familiar with the requirements & design issues, and you get a double payoff.
- You're interested in.
- Is hard to design, e.g. because conflicting forces are involved.
- Is not too broad, or has a smaller component you can concentrate on.
