Explanation of Pre-requisites
This module continues the project initiated in MC312.
Course Description
The purpose of the Computer Science Project (Modules MC312 and MC313) is
for the student to combine skills acquired in the other Computer Science
modules in the production of a suitable project. In doing this, the
student will assimilate information from a variety of sources and
demonstrate the ability to pursue independent study.
It is intended that the project should produce some end product for users other than the author. A collection of course exercises, a literature search or a descriptive evaluation would not be suitable.
Aims
In MC313, the student will complete the project work planned and started
in MC312 and submit a substantial Computer Science project.
Objectives
- To implement the end product according to the design developed during
MC312.
- To test and evaluate the end product.
- To write a substantial report on the project.
Transferable Skills
- Ability to carry out independent study
- Time management over a sustained course of research.
- Practice in implementing and testing a substantial end product.
- Skills involved in producing a substantial written report.
Details of Assessment
The assessment of MC313 is broken down as follows:
- 5%: Informal interview before Easter.
- 10%: Oral examination and demonstration of software.
- 80%: Final project report.
- 5%: Mark for student effort and participation, based on a weekly diary.
