Pitching to the 'Big Fish': Elevating Presentation and Communication Skills in a Software Quality Course
Miguel Morales Trujillo, Ismael Caballero Muñoz-Reja
In this work, we present a Software Quality teaching experience based on gamification. In this experience, “A Meeting with the Big Fish”, the lecturer and students play different roles in a Shark Tank-like situation. The lecturer (Big Fish) and their sharks maintain a planned meeting with students where harsh and unexpected situations happen to students while presenting a Software Process Improvement proposal. Initial results have shown the effectiveness of the activity in terms of engagement, fun, and authenticity.
