Implement a well-designed modularized solution to small programming problems 4. Develop and/or implement testing schedules Submission Date: Week 14 Assessment Task: Students are required to analyse the weekly lecture material of weeks 1 to 11 and create concise content analysis summaries of the theoretical concepts contained in the lecture slides. Total Mark: 40 marks Weighting: Converted to 40% of the unit total marks Students are advised that submission of an Assessment Task past the due date without a formally signed approved Assignment Extension Form (Kent Website MyKent Student Link> FORM – Assignment Extension Application Form – Student Login Required) or previously approved application for other extenuating circumstances impacting course of study, incurs a 5% penalty per calendar day, calculated by deduction from the total mark.

Where the lab content or information contained in technical articles from the Internet or books helps to fully describe the lecture slide content, discussion of such theoretical articles or discussion of the lab material should be included in the content analysis. The document structure is as follows (2500 Words): 1. Title Page 2. Introduction (100 words) 3. Background (100 words) 4. Content analysis (reflective journals) for each week from 1 to 11 (2250 words; 205 words per week): a. Theoretical Discussion i. Important topics covered ii. Proper examples for each topic (don’t include examples from lecture slides) b. Interpretations of the contents i. What are the most important/useful/relevant information about the content? c. Outcome i. What have I learned from this? 5. Conclusion (50 words) Your report must include: • At least five references, out of which, three references must be from academic resources. • Harvard Australian referencing for any sources you use. • Refer to the Academic Learning Skills student guide on Referencing. ASSESSMENT SUBMISSION: This assignment should be submitted online in Moodle through Turnitin. The assignment MUST be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format. Other formats may not be readable by markers. Please be aware that any assessments submitted in other formats will be considered LATE and will lose marks until it is presented in Word. For assistance please speak to our Academic Learning Skills Coordinators, in Sydney (
[email protected]) or in Melbourne (
[email protected]). They can help you with understanding the task, draft checking, structure, referencing and other assignment-related matters. GENERAL NOTES FOR ASSESSMENT TASKS Content for Assessment Task papers should incorporate a formal introduction, main points and conclusion. Appropriate academic writing and referencing are inevitable academic skills that you must develop and demonstrate in work being presented for assessment. The content of high quality work presented by a student must be fully referenced within-text citations and a Reference List at the end. Kent strongly recommends you refer to the Academic Learning Support Workshop materials available on the Kent Learning Management System (Moodle).

Kent recommends a minimum of FIVE (5) references in work being presented for assessment. Unless otherwise specifically instructed by your Lecturer or as detailed in the Unit Outline for the specific Assessment Task, any paper with less than five (5) references may be deemed not meeting a satisfactory standard and possibly be failed. Content in Assessment tasks that includes sources that are not properly referenced according to the “Harvard Referencing Workbook” will be penalised. Marks will be deducted for failure to adhere to the word count if this is specifically stated for the Assessment Task in the Unit Outline. As a general rule there is an allowable discretionary variance to the word count in that it is generally accepted that a student may go over or under by 10% than the stated length. GENERAL NOTES FOR REFERENCING References are assessed for their quality. Students should draw on quality academic sources, such as books, chapters from edited books, journals etc. The textbook for the Unit of study can be used as a reference, but not the Lecturer Notes. The Assessor will want to see evidence that a student is capable of conducting their own research. Also, in order to help Assessors determine a student’s understanding of the work they cite, all in-text references (not just direct quotes) must include the specific page number(s) if shown in the original.
