B215 Practical exercises – Week 7
ICT283 Assessed exercise 3 (last one)
Objectives:
· The purpose of this demonstration/submission is to ensure that you are working on the assignment yourself and that you are adhering to the following good practices:
1. The work does not have to be complete but it must build (compile and link) and run.
2. How you have been keeping backups as these are necessary so that you do not lose all your work if something goes wrong.
3. Be aware of the minimum requirements of the assignment, as not meeting the minimum requirements would result in failing the assignment.
It is very important not to fall behind with these exercises.
Internal students demonstrate the work to their tutor during the next lab session.
Externals submit through the LMS. It is due by midnight on Thursday of the last teaching week.
Exercise (assessed)
Please ensure that the data files are read in correctly. You need to check that your program works with the data files by testing various files. For example, blank lines at the end, should not break the program as long as the data is formatted as specified.
The assignment should build with either Codeblocks or Visual Studio 2012 or 2013. This will ensure that you are using the correct build mechanism.
In the demonstration/submission, you will be addressing the 3 listed objectives shown above.
Internal students demonstrate progress on your assignment/project to your tutor during class time.
Note that a lab exercise from Lab 10 advised demonstration of the assignment’s progress. Lab 10 is not assessed.
External students would need to send a short write up (see LMS) of their progress and a zip file containing their current state of their assignment and addressing the 3 items listed in the objectives. Upload into LMS in the area marked “Last Laboratory assessed exercise”.
Zip up the entire assignment directory and upload into LMS. Please put in an evaluation.txt file. It should not be longer than an A4 page. The write up addresses the 3 listed objectives of this submission.
Advice
If you submit your assignment without your tutor knowing how you are progressing with the assignment in the weeks preceding the due date, your assignment may not be marked. You may also be called in for an interview – quite possibly multiple interviews.
