Course Schedule and Assessments

The following is a timetable for the current intake of students enrolled in this module starting in April 2015. It is strongly suggested that you spend one week per unit and stay on this target. The deadlines for the first two assessments are indicative suggestions only (though you'd be wise to follow them to gain feedback as you go). The final absolute deadline for all work is 2pm British Summer Time, Tuesday 30 June 2014.

Assessment Details and Deadlines

There are two formally assessed projects. As the practical code will form the foundation of your assessments, you should attempt the first only after you have completed Unit 5's practical, and the second only after you have completed all the practical materials, though you will be in a position to think about it after Unit 7. In addition, you may submit your practical code for formative assessment at the end of Unit 5's practical. Formative assessment means we'll mark it and give you feedback, but it won't count towards your final mark - the idea is that it gives you some indication of what we're looking for before you try the assessed projects.

Assessment Schedule

The table below is a *strongly* suggested timetable for submission of the assessments.

PLEASE NOTE: The system does not warn us when you have uploaded assessments. If you submit before the final deadline please email Andy to let him know, or they will not be marked until after the deadline.
