Learning & Teaching Activities Learning & Teaching Modes This course has three contact activities: lectures, practicals and workshops. Each of these activities is used to support and build on each other, they do not repeat material. Lectures will be used primarily to introduce the core theoretical material of the course - these will be recorded online in echo 360 shortly before each lecture session. A live structured Q&A session will be held to review content and answer questions. The practicals are focussed on developing core programming skills in C++ both individually and collaboratively. They will include a small number of individual practical exams. You should also spend a significant amount of time on programming outside of these sessions. The workshops are hands on collaborative sessions with groups of students sharing computers working on activities that may reinforce lecture material or introduce key skills required by the practicals. The ethics exercise covers an aread of ethics relevant to Software Engineering. Workload The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements. Students are expected to spend 10-12 hours per three unit course. Expectations of time devoted to different activities each week is identified on the course website Learning Activities Summary The topics covered will include: Basics of Computer Architecture Arrays and Pointers Programming Languages, Grammars, Compiling Object Oriented Design Classes, Objects, Inheritance Abstract Classes, Polymorphism Planning, Design Debugging Algorithmic Complexity Sorting, Searching Theory of Computation Algorithmic and Problem Solving Strategies Ethics in Software Engineering Small Group Discovery Experience The Small Group Discovery Groups will investigate the ethical issues relevant to Software Engineering in a particular context, for example "The Ethics of Social Media in an Indiginous Community”. The work will be in groups and be guided by the University’s Research Skill Development Framework over 5 sessions. Assessment The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles: Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Details of the Australian Computer Society's Core Bode of Knowledge (CBOK) can be found in The-ACS-Core-Body-of-Knowledge-for-ICT-Professionals-CBOK Assessment Related Requirements Hurdle Requirement: If your overall mark for the course is greater than 44 F but, your mark for the final written exam is less than 40%, your overall mark for the course will be reduced to 44 F. Assessment Detail Individual practical exams will take place in the practical sessions of weeks through the semester. The first practical exam is for practice only and does not contribute to your final mark for the course. Marks for each practical exam will be awarded by the web submission system based on functionality. In the workshop of weeks 4, 6 and 8, the previous week's practical will also be marked by practical demonstrators who will be able to give some individual feedback. No marks will be awarded if no one in a group attends the workshop in which the additional assessment takes place. All other practicals can be undertaken individually or in a group of up to three students. Marks for these practicals will be awarded by the web submission system based on functionality. In the workshop in week 12 the practical covering weeks 8 to 11 will also be marked by practical demonstrators who will be able to give some individual feedback. No marks will be awarded if no one in a group attends the week 12 workshop in which the additional assessment takes place. Workshops will be undertaken in groups of up to three students. A mechanism for registering groups will be provided for each workshop. Marks for workshops will be awarded online according to functionality provided that the submission is made whilst attending a workshop session. The ethics exercise will be assessed online in the final 5 weeks of the semester. The final examination will assess all of the skills developed during the course and your ability to apply them as an individual. Submission Practicals, Practical Exams and Workshops You are expected to create the specified directory in your svn repository at the start of every practical, practical exam or workshop and do all your work in a checked out working copy of this directory. Every time you stop working on you are expected to commit the changes made so far to your svn repository. Separately, you must submit your work to the Computer Science Web Submission System by the due date specified in the practical, practical exam or workshop description. Only work submitted to the Web Submission System will be assessed and, where appropriate, late penalties will be calculated using the date/time of the submission. Practical or Practical Exam Assessment Sessions For those practicals and practical exams with additional assessment by workshop supervisors, you must attend your first enrolled workshop session following the due date or they will not be assessed. If the workshop supervisors are unable to complete marking all students attending their enrolled workshop session, alternative arrangements will be made for those students affected. Missing a Practical or Practical Exam Assessment Session If you are unable to attend a practical assessment session due to medical or compassionate circumstances, you must submit a request to the course coordinator as soon as practicable but no later than 5 days after the missed session. In your request you must attach supporting documentation – a medical certificate and/or a letter from the student counselling service. Work requirements are not considered grounds for missing assessments. If you are working, please make sure you are available for all activities. The course coordinator will make alternative arrangements for assessing the practical work on a case by case basis. Penalties for Late Submission of Work Late submissions will not be accepted for practical exams or workshops. The work must be submitted before leaving the practical exam or workshop. Unless advised otherwise and where appropriate, all other work is subject to the following late penalty policy: The mark awarded will reduce by 25% for each day/part day late, Marks in excess of the maximum that can be awarded are discarded. Assignment work submitted 4 or more days late will receive 0 marks. On-time Mark 1 Day Late 2 Days Late 3 Days Late 4+ Days Late 25% 25% 25% 25% 0 50% 50% 50% 25% 0 75% 75% 50% 25% 0 100% 75% 50% 25% 0 Late Penalties for Other Assessments Due to the nature of some assessments, it may not be possible to accept late submissions even if an extension was appropriate. In these cases alternative arrangements will be made on a case-by-case basis. Extensions for Programming Practicals and Other Assessments If you are unable to complete an assessment by the due date because of medical or compassionate circumstances, you must submit a request to the course coordinator prior to the due date. In your request you must attach supporting documentation – a medical certificate and/or a letter from the student counseling service. Work requirements are not considered grounds for extensions. If you are working, please make sure you are available for all activities. If appropriate, the course coordinator will provide an extension that will be visible in the Web Submission System or on the course website where the submission is to be made. Provision of Feedback to Students Marks for practicals, practical exams and workshops will be automatically awarded by the School of Computer Science Web Submission System for all submissions. For those practicals and practical exams subject to additional assessment, the additional assignment marks and feedback will be also posted to the Web Submission System. Feedback and marks on all assignment work will be available on the course website but there may be some delays because feedback and marks originally published in the Web Submission System must be manually copied to the course website. Final Examination The final examination will be scheduled by the examinations office. You will be able to access your exam schedule through Access Adelaide. You must be available during the replacement examination period (check University dates). If you are offered a replacement examination or additional assessment and are unable to attend for any reason, there may be no further opportunity for a replacement examination or additional assessment. Course Grading Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme: M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme) Grade Mark Description FNS Fail No Submission F 1-49 Fail P 50-64 Pass C 65-74 Credit D 75-84 Distinction HD 85-100 High Distinction CN Continuing NFE No Formal Examination RP Result Pending Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations. Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs. Final results for this course will be made available through Access Adelaide. Student Feedback The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews. SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.
