Module Overview

The final year project is divided into two parts, which aim to provide learners with an opportunity to undertake a substantial, individual computer science project and take responsibility for a full project life cycle. The project will enable learners to consolidate and further their chosen area of study and integrate knowledge and skills acquired from other modules that are part of this programme. The specific aim of part 2 of the project is to: - give learners the experience of the latter stages of the system life cycle, including project implementation, evaluation, review, testing and final analysis - allow learners to prepare for and undertake an oral presentation and defence of their system and project experiences - provide an opportunity for learners to research and write a thesis describing and defending their system research, life cycle and evaluation - provide learners with the opportunity to document their learning experiences, and reflect upon the problems, solutions and challenges of a substantial individual project
