Evaluate and collect information from a variety of authoritative sources to inform a choice of solutions to standard problems highlighted in this module
| Learning outcomes assessed within this piece of work as agreed at the programme level meeting | On successful completion of this module students will be able to
1. Demonstrate a broad understanding of the knowledge base of systems analysis and design concepts, and their terminology and discourse, including awareness that areas of this knowledge base are open to ongoing debate and reformulation, thus fostering a socio-technical approach to the analysis and design of systems. 2. Identify and apply principles and concepts underlying the theoretical frameworks highlighted in this module and demonstrate an ability to identify strengths and weaknesses in an analytical fashion. 3. Evaluate and collect information from a variety of authoritative sources to inform a choice of solutions to standard problems highlighted in this module, by applying the techniques learnt in a business context and evaluating the design decisions. 4. Evaluate the reliability of data and information provided in this module, using pre-defined techniques and/or criteria, including an understanding of object-oriented systems theory in a wider context. |
| Type of assessment: | Coursework 1: Individual Systems Design Report (2000 words including system design documentation)
-this will assess learning outcomes 1,2,3.
Coursework 2: Individual System Review Report (1000 words) -this will assess learning outcome 4. |
| Assessment instructions and deadline: | Coursework1: Individual System Design Report Submission by . This should be submitted via Turnitin as a Microsoft Word file
(see the deliverables required in coursework 1). Coursework 2: Individual System Review and Evaluation Report to be submitted by . This should be submitted via Turnitin as a Microsoft Word file (see the deliverables required in coursework 2) |
| Kind reminder: You MUST make a reasonable attempt at your assignment and submit it. Failure to do so may result in a CAPPED Resit and/or failure of the module.
It is also the student’s full responsibility to ensure that all assignments are submitted on the correct link and on time before the submission date. |

Assignment Support
| Firstly, read the scenario below and then design and evaluate a solution using an object-oriented analysis and design approach. You should use Unified Modelling Language (UML) for specifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting the proposed systems. Your assignment consists of two pieces of coursework. Both pieces are to be done individually.
· Coursework 1 relates to the analysis and design of a system (worth 60% of the total marks of the assignment). This part of the assessment will assess learning outcomes 1, 2 & 3. · Coursework 2 is an evaluation report consisting of a critical commentary on coursework 1 (worth 40% of the total marks of the assignment). This part will assess learning outcome 4.
How will your work be assessed? Your work will be assessed by a subject expert who will use the marking grid provided in this assessment brief. When you access your marked coursework, it is important that you reflect on the feedback so that you can use it to improve future assignments.
How will feedback be provided? Students will have access to formative feedback on each task set in workshops, thereby helping them to refine their approach to the summative tasks that have been set. However, please note that this feedback is limited to recommendations on improving your work. Lecturers will not confirm any grades or marks. The feedback can be one-to-one or in-group sessions. |
| Assignment support:
Although you will be guided throughout the module by your lecturer, you can get extra support for your assignment, just make an appointment with the ACE team for any language, research and study skills issues and/or talk, email the Computing ACE expert for any advice on how to approach your assignment. REMEMBER: they are not here to give you the answers!
