The senior project stage in bachelor’s degrees
represents an essential milestone in the learning process
of a Computer Science (CS) student. The Senior Project
Management System (SPMS) plays an important role in
refining the quality of the resulting product and
improving the learning experience of students. The CS
department at King Abdulaziz University (KAU) has
followed a well-defined system for managing senior
projects since 2012. Systems evolve through time in
response to encounters that unfold when the system is put
to use. The administration of CS senior projects is no
exception. In this paper, we present some incremental
changes that have been introduced as refinements to the
original system. This paper focuses on analyzing the data
of the projects conducted during 2015 and 2016 in the
Computer Science Department, Girls Main Campus
(GMC) branch from the following perspectives: the
project plan and deliverables at each milestone, and the
provision of constructive mature collective feedback by
the evaluating committee. These refinements are called
addendums as they are additional steps to the SPMS and
each step is monitored by using forms. This paper also
describes some practices that support the SPMS along
with the rationale behind their application. Evidence for
the two addendums have been collected from analysis of
the relevant forms. The analysis showed that the students
benefited from the flexibility introduced by the milestone
addendum as they made use of the new options. In
addition, analysis of the forms of the feedback addendum
showed that this documentation served as a means to
gather the overall collective opinion of the committee
members as opposed to the individual assessment of each
member. Additional evidence was collected from
evaluation committee members, by conducting a
questionnaire. It showed that participants do benefit from
the discussion promoted by the feedback addendum.
