Projects

Within this course, the project component represents a major assessment item. Course material is rearranged for part-time evening students in UoN Singapore (block mode) so that lecture material is presented in the early weeks of the course and the latter weeks primarily focus on project work.
On-going access to lecture / tutorial staff is maintained during the project period through scheduled help desks and open labs.

* Note, any modification to the above assessment arrangement will appear in the course outline normally issued in week 1.
