Assessment
Type
: Group Assignment
Purpose of
the assessment
: To develop a plan for a real-world example of an
application in information technology from the
one of the topics given below. This assessment contributes to the
various learning outcomes of your Bachelor of IT degree.
Assessment Task
:
In the initial part of assignment, the group
of students’ will be tested on their skills on writing literature review of a
topic you have learnt in the Discrete Mathematics (ICT101) course in the week 1
to 6. Students need to read at least 3 articles or books on this topic
especially with application to Information Technology and give detail review of
those. Student will also identify one application of information Technology
related to the topic in which he/she is interested and write a complete account
of that interest.
Student group will be exploring
and analysis the application of information technology related to the topic
which are identified by each group member, and they must recognise an
application that can be programmed into computer. Each group must sketch a
plane to draw a flow-chart and algorithm. Use some inputs to test the algorithm
(Give different trace table for each input) and identify any problem in the
algorithm. Suggest a plane to rectify or explain why it can’t be rectified.
Each group must write one report on its findings.
Student can choose group member
by his/her own but should be within his/her tutorial group.
Students can choose one from
the following Topic. However, after deciding on the topic to work on, consult
with your tutor.
The topic
student group can choose
:
•
BCD addition
The written
report must have the following sections:
1.
Introduction
2.
Proper
reference of at least three articles or books
3.
Write
detail review of those articles or books related to the topic student chooses
4.
Identify one application in Information Technology in
which student is interested. Write a
complete account of that interest
5.
Description
of why students choose this application
6.
Give
a complete plane to implement the application into a computer program with use
of flow-chart
7.
Write
an appropriate algorithm
8.
Use
at least two inputs to test the algorithm. Group need to give a trace table for
each input.
9.
