Abstract

The training program is a programmatic document to guide a professional training, while the syllabus is a guiding document to guide teachers to conduct curriculum teaching. The syllabus is not purely curriculum oriented, but should serve the objectives of the training program. When the objectives of the training program change, our syllabus should also be adjusted accordingly. A good syllabus is the prerequisite and foundation for teaching a course well. The "agile software development" analyzed in this paper is a limited course for software engineering majors. In the whole teaching and training program, it is a professional course belonging to the branch of software engineering. In the whole training program, the branch courses of software engineering include introduction to software engineering, software process and project management, software architecture, software testing and quality assurance, and agile software development. This course is offered on the basis that the students of this major have mastered the basic principles and methods of software engineering, and understand and master the application and practice methods of software engineering ideas in practical projects. This paper gives a detailed introduction to the latest agile software development curriculum, which has been revised for many years, from the aspects of teaching objectives, teaching content, teaching methods, assessment methods, etc., hoping to provide reference for educators engaged in teaching related courses.
