Task: These are group activitiesin tutorial classes. The tutor will provide quizzes and exercises for group discussion, and assess how each group solve the problems. Each group might be requested to report their project progressif assigned a project in week 3.

Assessment item 2: Information System Development Project

Weighting: 40%

Report due: 5:00pm, 23/05/2014

Task: This is a group project of 3-4 people. Each group will work on an information system development project (Case Study)and write a report according to a structure and criteria that will be provided in a separate handout. Each group will present their project in allocated tutorial sessions.

Assessment item 3: Final Exam

Weighting: 40%

Due: University examination period

Task: The final exam will be closed book, and will take 2 hours with ten minutes reading time. It will coverall the material from the textbook, plus any additional materials and class activities that are delivered to you in lectures and tutorials, as well as the lecture notes.

Minimum requirements

In order to achieve a Pass, the student must achieve at least 50% overall. All assessment items set for this subject must be completed in order to gain a pass.

For the group assignment students will be assessed as a team, which means each group member will normally receive the same mark. If you have trouble with the operation of your group, ask your tutor or lecturer for advice (preferably ask as a group). If some of the groups feel that other members are not contributing, the tutor should be informed and a group meeting held to produce a solution. In extreme cases a group member may be asked by the tutor to withdraw from the Subject, do extra work or accept a lower mark. No complaints about group operation will be considered after the assignment has been handed in to the tutor. Your submissions will be checked against plagiarism. Late assignments will be deducted 10% per day late. More than seven days late the assignment willreceive zero. Special consideration for late submission must be arranged beforehand with the lecturer. No supplementary examination will be given in this subject. If you miss any piece of assessment through documented illness or misadventure, you should consult with the lecturer.
