teaching and assessment
Different learning activities are provided to develop your understanding and skills, and move you towards professional independence:
• Lectures to present theory and design methodology
• Examples that illustrate key concepts through on-screen presentations, class participation and live demonstrations
• Laboratory classes for you to practise what you have been taught, with support and guidance from tutors
• Coursework - individual, in pairs or in a team - for you to develop your skills
• Guided revision of your knowledge in tutorials
• Project work to consolidate your learning through practical and challenging software development projects, and to prepare for your career in industry.
The weightings we allocate to assessed coursework and final examination vary from module to module: 50-60% may be allocated to the final exam, but this can be less in some modules and higher in others.
