Module Aims

The aims of this module (3COM0063, Computer Science Project) are to enable students to . . .

• increase the depth of their knowledge and understanding in a computer science specialist area which is of relevance to the award they seek
• extend some of the knowledge and skills gained as a result of participating in an academic study programme in computer science, or as a result of undergoing a period of training in industry.
• apply their knowledge and skills in an unfamiliar context
• design a programme of independent practical work and manage it to completion, and evaluate the quality of their work against an appropriate set of criteria

Intended Learning Outcomes

Successful students should have a knowledge and understanding of:

• the investigation and solution of a substantial practical task requiring the application of knowledge from the subject area in question
• an appropriate set of criteria against which to evaluate work in their chosen area

Successful students should be able to:

• plan and conduct a programme of practical work that requires the application of knowledge from a focused area of computer science, working independently of close supervision.
• document, report on, and critically evaluate their work in a manner appropriate to the needs of a specified readership
