Assessment 3: Dissertation/Thesis/Design Thesis (Written)

An individual reflective report detailing the student&#39;s contribution to the work undertaken, and analysing the relative success of the group project.

Dissertation/Thesis/Design Thesis (Written)

Assessment 1: Presentation

A Progress Presentation of 30 minutes duration, to allow the examiners to question the students on their progress and provide feedback on the work completed to date. The main aim of this assessment point is to ensure projects are progressing satisfactorily. This is a group presentation. All students are expected to be present, but it is for the group to decide how to structure and divide the content.

Presentation

Assessment 2: Project Work

The deliverables created throughout the group project. These may include requirements and design documents, research reports, software, testing documents, etc, as appropriate to the project undertaken. The 50 hours work mentioned in this specification is per student in the group and is intended to reflect the time taken to create and assemble these deliverables.

Project Work

<p>You will be formed into groups of (ideally) three to five developers to work on a challenging software development project which will culminate in the production of a piece of working software. Wherever possible these projects will be for &#39;real&#39; clients, often the companies where the students worked during their industrial placements, although students are also allowed to suggest their own ideas or work on projects related to the various research groups within the department. A member of academic staff will oversee each project, providing guidance and advice where appropriate. The groups will make use of modern software tools and environments in the conduct of their project.</p>
