| Additional Information (Assessment) |
The coursework will be divided in 2 submissions:
CW1 will involve implementing a typical (rather small) problem scenario of the objectives discussed.
CW2 will involve implementing a typical, but more complex problem scenario of the objects discussed. In addition, there will be an essay (around 1,500 words) which assesses the students' critical evaluation skills |
| Feedback |
A standard mid-semester course survey will be distributed during the course lectures. Feedback from this will be distributed as a report which is made available from the course web page.
Assessment results for CW1 and CW2 will be made available using standard UoE mechanisms.
To provide general feedback and feedforward suggestions relating to part 2 of the submission, a general discussion will be done in a lecture following the last submission date of part 1.
There a sample solution and an example reflective essay will be presented, as well as common errors and mistakes made, discussed with time for Q&A for the students. Students will also receive some individual feedback on their submissions. |
| No Exam Information |
