Abstract

This paper reviews one time through a revamped Software Engineering course which introduces Agile Methods, particularly pairs programming, to make better software and a more enjoyable experience. The paper discusses the structure of assignments, key points of the class environment, students' comments and improved performance over previous years. It is hoped that the reader will acquire at least a couple of ways to help students program better and like it more.
