    In their words: Student feedback on an international project collaboration
    (ACM, 2010) Chidanandan, A.; Russell-Dag, Lori; Laxer, C.; Ayfer, Reyyan
    In this paper, we describe a collaborative course experience between students from universities in the USA and Turkey. Student teams worked together on a software engineering project for a non-profit organization based in Turkey. The students learned valuable skills in team-work, collaboration-facilitating software tools and working with peers from a different culture and a different time-zone. At the end of the course, in a focus group, students were asked for feedback regarding the course and its outcomes. In this paper, we describe the course from the student perspective. From this, and the instructor's experiences we provide a list of guidelines. Copyright 2010 ACM.
