Summary:An experience-dominated subject like software project management cannot be learned by merely attending lectures. Additional labs, however, even with only modest real-life projects, call for substantial effort to be spent by the instructors as well as by the partaking students. Our experience shows that using a software development simulation tool enhances the mix of methods used in conventional teaching substantially.
