Assessment
Additional details
-
Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) 2 and 3 are addressed by Project work of approximately 120 hours of work (40%), which involves extensive software development and report writing in small groups of 2 to 3 students. Project work is assessed in stages throughout the semester, with half of the work typically due in Week 8 and the remaining work due in Week 12
-
ILOs 1 and 3 are addressed by Computer laboratory exercises requiring approximately 60 hours of work (20%), which involves both new material not covered in lectures and also reinforcing concepts from the lectures. Students work in groups of 2 for a majority of the laboratory exercises. There are 10 laboratory exercises to complete on a weekly basis
-
ILOs 1 and 2 are addressed by one end-of-semester examination of 2 hours in duration (40%).
Hurdle requirement: To pass the subject, students must obtain at least:
- 50% overall
- 20/40 in the Project work
- 10/20 in the Computer laboratory work
- 20/40 in the end-of-semester written examination
