The main source for the course is Using UML: Software Engineering with Objects and Components by Perdita Stevens and Rob Pooley. You should purchase a copy of this book. The Using UML events in the timetable give guidance on which chapters should be read by a particular week in the course. Further (backround) readings are taken from the book Software Engineering (6th Edition) by Ian Sommerville, which you should have read parts of for CS2.
Further readings on topics specific to lectures are to be found on the
lecture log.
You should check this regularly.
