Agile software development teams often conduct a retrospective exercise at the end of each development sprint. Retrospective exercises provide an opportunity for all participants to provide constructive feedback to influence and improve future performance.
To prepare for this exercise, take a moment to think about your experience as a student in this course over the entire semester. Think about what went well and what could be improved. This includes all aspects of the course, including schedule, operations, content and material, projects, exercises, assignments, communications and platforms, teaching methodologies, etc.
In the front of the room there are three whiteboards. The left one will be designated for "CONS", or areas in need of improvement. The right board will be designated for "PROs" or areas to be repeated in the future. The middle board will be designated for "advice to future students on how to succeed in this course".
When instructed to do so, use a dry erase marker to add one or more items to any of the three whiteboards.
If you see an existing item on the board that you identify with, place a tally mark next to that item to "vote" for it.
After the designated period of time, the professor will lead discussions about the top vote-getting items.
