[nfbcs] Best techniques for group computer science projects

[Jude DaShiell]

Why is it necessary for everyone to see an entire project?  That rarely 
happens in the real world for industrial espionage protection reasons.  
Waterfall model gives a project leader the main control module to write. 
 Several other modules get mentioned in that main control module.  Each 
subordinate is given one of those modules to write with instructions as 
to input; processing, or output and what variables to use and what to 
use them for along with what constants to use and what to use them for 
as well.  Much contract and subcontract work gets done that way.  Any 
such project can turn into two projects if maintenance possibilities get 
concieved by the project leader but no subordinate is allowed to 
maintain the code they wrote.  Everyone swaps with everyone else.  That 
very often happens in the real world too.  For a computer science class, 
it will teach students that not everybody thinks alike and give each of 
the students a window into another student's mind.
