Réorganisation de l'enseignement dans un cours introductif en analyse et conception de logiciels | Reorganization of Teaching in an Introductory Course in Software Analysis and Design

Abstract
Le Département de génie informatique et génie logiciel de Polytechnique Montréal propose un cours introductif d'analyse et de conception de logiciels aux étudiants au début de leur cursus en génie informatique et logiciel. Les réactions montrent qu'ils aimeraient consacrer plus de temps à des exemples et exercices. En parallèle, les étudiants de 2e et 3e année semblent oublier certaines notions clés de modélisation logicielle apprises précédemment. Cet article présente un projet qui a été entrepris pour résoudre ces deux problèmes. Une séance de tutorat d'une heure par semaine a été insérée dans le cours introductif, en plus des heures en classe et de laboratoire. Nous avons également développé un site web accessible au public qui présente les notions importantes du Unified Modeling Language (UML), le langage de modélisation de logiciels le plus courant. Les résultats indiquent des pistes d’amélioration. Le projet a mis en évidence la nécessité de clarifier certaines questions fondamentales concernant l'enseignement de l'UML. [English version] The Department of Computer and Software Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal offers a basic software analysis and design course to students at the beginning of their coursework in computer and software engineering. Feedback shows that they would like to spend more time studying examples and completing exercises. In parallel, students in their 2nd and 3rd years seem to forget some key software modelling notions learned earlier. This paper presents a project that was undertaken to address both issues. First, a one-hour tutorial session per week was introduced in the basic software analysis and design course, in addition to the hours in the classroom and laboratory. Second, we developed a publicly available website that presents the important notions of the Unified Modeling Language (UML), the most common software modelling language. Results point to further possible improvements. The project highlighted the need to clarify some fundamental questions regarding the teaching of UML.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
