BTS630

In this course, students work in groups to finish the development of their CAPSTONE projects. These projects were proposed and initialized in the BTS530 course. Now, students will continue to add features to their projects, during the course of four sprints, to meet all requirements that were previously set. Afterwards, the full project will be presented to an audience, during the course of two days of Final Presentations.

Academic Honesty

Make sure to learn and abide to Seneca's academic honesty policies. Not knowing a particular policy will never be accepted as a valid excuse.
Remember that, implicitly within every test, exam, and assignment you submit, you are stating that it contains your own work. The three most often scenarios of academic dishonesty are: using material obtained from the internet, using AI to generate your answers, and using material obtained from another student.
