  abstract =     "Many software development courses include both
                 instruction in formal and informal techniques and
                 application of those techniques on a team project. In
                 teaching such a course, a dilemma arises in trying to
                 present material in sufficient detail before students
                 must apply the material in their projects. The students
                 are not comfortable with a technique before they must
                 use it. If the project is moved later in the course,
                 the students do not have enough time to tackle a
                 problem that is big enough to require many of the
                 software development techniques. There must be a better
                 approach to teaching the course without separating the
                 material into two courses or dividing the course over
                 two terms. This paper describes an iterative approach.
                 Let the students develop an initial pass at the project
                 using the techniques they know. Then, have them apply
                 the techniques learned in this class to later
                 iterations. They develop a reasonably large project and
                 apply the techniques appropriately. In addition, they
                 have an opportunity to modify and maintain their
                 documents as they complete the project. This paper
                 describes the approach, experiences using it, and what
                 modifications might be useful.",
