Question1. An aspect of the preferred procedure for almost all formal software development approaches is to do some design before coding. One of the design artifacts you are asked to use in this course is a flow chart. What challenges have you (and / or your learning team) encountered in going from an English statement of the problem to a flow chart (or some
other design tool, like pseudo code)? What challenges have you encountered in going from your chosen design artifact to C source code?

Question2. While writing source code may be the activity that first comes to mind when people think about software development, it's only a piece of what goes on. While there are IT jokes about this (e.g., "You go figure out what the users want while I start coding"), mature software
organizations realize this is better humor than practice. Requirements definition and design are two activities that are logically prior to implementation. What do you think goes into a good requirements document?
