by means of Extreme Programming

This paper reports on experience from teaching basic software engineering concepts by using Extreme Pro-gramming in a second year undergraduate course taken by 107students. We describe how this course fits into a wider programme on software engineering and technol-ogy and report our experience from running and improv-ing the course. Particularly important aspects of our set-up includes team coaching (by older students) and "team-in-one-room "'. Our experience so far is very positive and we see that students get a good basic understanding of the important concepts in software ngineering, rooted in their own practical experience. 1
