Abstract

Commercial projects are carried out according to the rules of a certain software development approach but the academic projects do not always adhere to any formal processes. So far little attention has been paid to the same problem in academic context. By investigation of their assessment criteria in commercial context a set of metrics and measures was determined and adapted to provide a structured evaluation approach for projects developed in academic setting. Professionalizing teaching and assessment process is an attempt to close a gap between workforce’s expectations towards new graduates and the outcomes of their university education.
