[nfbcs] Best techniques for group computer science projects

[Larry Wayland]

I would think it is because it is not a real world situation. It is a
learning environment.

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.
