The assignment will be marked by your lecturer. Your time will be allocated as follows: 2 theory sessions per week - classroom-based with your lecturer 3 practical sessions per week, with tasks from this website, which consisit of: - 2 lab sessions with your lecturer - 1 lab session with the supervisor Your lecturer will tell you which task you will be working on from the website. The session with the supervisor will allow you to complete the week's tasks. To complete the assignment successfully, you will need to attend all theory sessions and complete all of the practical exercises. You will spend the final 4 weeks of the unit working independently on your assignment, so you will need to set targets for yourself - and stick to them! If you are unavoidably absent, you will need to print out notes from the theory sessions that you miss and read them carefully. Ask your lecturer to explain anything that you don't understand. You wll also need to 'catch up' on the practical sessions by working on the exercises in your own time. Remember the website address - you will use it for all practical sessions: www.geocities.com/ndsoftwaredev |
