module 1.

According to what we have came across this module in class, this module contains the basis things regarding software and software engineering. The subtopic covered in this module would be about:-

The Definition and Nature of Software
Software Application Domains
Legacy Software
Definition of Software Engineering
The Software Process
Software Engineering Practice
Software Myths

With all this topic related module, I was aware that reading through the provided slides notes as well as the book is not essential enough for a better and clear understanding. This is because they are too rich in text and we can't be able to look at the overview of all the things in that topic on a single page. It also avoids us from being able to differentiate the differences of categories.

(e.g Hooker's General SE Principles: There are 7 principles stated under this topic and it has its own explanations. Therefore, putting them in a table such as below will enable an overview for easier understanding and memorizing)


This table could also be done for other sub topics for a clear overview and better picture. Hmmm personally I think, The more we are able to break the contents into group the easier it would be for us.

At the end of the module, come up with a brief and simple mind map which would help you to refresh your mind and show the whole picture of the module.
It is nice yet colorful and trust me visual study is the best!

TQ. Hope it helps :)
