Planning an Initial HFOSS Learning Activity

Please discuss and record your group's approach for an initial learning activity. When you have a good draft description of the learning activity using the sections below, you could create a learning activity page for it by copying the template here: Learning Activity Template

Course targeted for the activity

• Sofware Engineering

Brief description of the activity

• Students read coding conventions associated with the project -- for example in OpenMRS
• Students review 1 or more samples of code to see how close sample(s) are to conventions
• Possible follow-up activity could be fixing the code and submitting it

Time you expect the HFOSS activity to take

• One homework assignment

Relationship of this activity to course goals/objectives

• Learn about coding conventions
• Get practice reading existing code
• Experience with code from large code base

What students will submit upon completion of the activity

• Using a template supplied, students will turn in written analysis of the code sample

Approach for assessing the student work

• Instructor supplies rubric that could include number of violations and some discussion of the seriousness of the violations

Questions or concerns you have about implementing your activity

• How much knowledge will students need about the FOSS project (e.g. OpenMRS)
• How much knowledge will the students need about the language
• The size of the conventions list
• How much code will be given
• How much instructor time will be required to find the the code samples

Support you will need to implement your activity

• Input from the project community about good sources of the code
