PROMO3 Assignment 2: Project demonstration

Introduction

This assignment contributes to 40% of the final module mark.

This submission will assess the following learning outcomes:

Critically appraise and apply the chosen research methodology for the
project, including critiquing relevant current literature, conducting
LO
empirical research or advanced technical or professional activity, in the are
1
under study demonstrating self-direction and originality in tackling and
solving problems or conceptualising solutions.

Independently analyse, design, build and test a major project in a work


LO
environment on a topic which relates to the forefront of the academic area
2
under study

LO Critically evaluate and discuss the project findings, reflecting objectively


3 on method, process, and outcome

The ability to deal with complex issues in the delivery and management of
LO
a major project, both systematically and creatively making informed
4
judgements in the absence of complete data.

This submission contributes 40% to the final module mark.

Deliverable
A 20–30-minute demonstration of your project solution that must include
independent design and critical evaluation. You must also submit a research
report that supports your demonstration. A template is provided separately
that can be modified to fit your own structure. The report should include a user
manual for your demonstrated solution/product.

Guidance
Demonstration should be delivered in such a way as to enable you to cover the
criteria described below in the Assessment section.
When developing your report and presentation you should do so under the
auspice of the audience not being an expert in your project area, as such it
should be tailored to an open audience.

Submission
You must submit your work via Canvas by 2pm on August 4th 2022. The
submission facility will be open prior to this so it can be submitted
before the deadline. You are required to present your project demonstration
via Teams on August 5th 2022. The demonstration will be recorded.
The module team will arrange your individual slot time in advance of the
demonstration.

At the demonstration you are expected to present your work for approximately
20-30 minutes. This will be followed by a Q&A for a similar amount of time (if
required for clarification).

PROMO3 Assignment 2: Project demonstration
Your work will be assessed using the University of Sunderland Generic
Assessment Criteria which can be accessed at
https://my.sunderland.ac.uk/display/AQH/Assessment+Policy

Marking will be carried out by two markers – your supervisor and a second
marker nominated by the module leader. The markers will agree a mark
following the demonstration.

Assessment Criteria

The assessment criteria and mark scheme used to assess your project viva and
report are provided below. Please ensure you look at these before you start
your project, so you know what we are going to assess you on.

0 - 39% Clear Fail: Attainment is consistently and clearly below Master’s


level. The reason(s) for this may include some or all the following:
 An inadequate survey of the available literature in the study area.
 Failure to meet one or more of the objectives of the project.
 Inadequate rigour in the application of techniques/tools.
 Lack of a disciplined, ethical, and professional approach to tackling the
project.
 Failure to address a central computer science and digital technology
issue in necessary depth.
 The absence of a required section in the dissertation.
 A partial or no demonstration/presentation was given, or the
demonstration/presentation gave no useful information.
 The student could not answer some of the viva questions in any
meaningful way.

40 - 49% Marginal failure: Attainment generally below acceptable level,


although there is potential for it to reach a pass standard. The work and their
response to questions in the viva should show that higher achievement could
be reached is more time was devoted to it or another approach had been
taken.

PROMO3 Assignment 2: Project demonstration
50 - 59% Basic Pass: Close to the minimum acceptable standard for a pass.
Work in this mark range may fail to fulfil one of the major objectives of the
project yet must exhibit a reasonable understanding of the fundamentals of
computer science and digital technologies relevant to their chosen project and
adequate use of technical communication skills, problem solving, independent
study, knowledge of the literature and a disciplined, ethical and professional
approach to tackling a substantial project. The viva demonstrated an
acceptable level of understanding.

60 - 69% Good Pass: Attainment which is overall better than acceptable but
is not outstanding. There is evidence from the work submitted that there is a
sound understanding of the major computer science and digital technologies
relevant to their chosen project together with a reasonable attempt to tackle
more advanced topics and issues. There should be a convincing demonstration
of technical communication skills, problem solving, independent study,
knowledge and application of the literature and a disciplined, ethical, and
professional approach to tackling a substantial project.

70 - 85% Distinctive: The project (presentation and supporting documents of


the user manual and research report) clearly demonstrate a high degree of
quality and originality in the application of standard techniques and indicate an
excellent professional endeavor. The work includes novelty and invention that
goes beyond the accurate, appropriate, and validated use of standard methods
and tools, demonstrating strong technical communication skills, problem
solving, independent study, knowledge and application of the literature and a
disciplined, ethical, and professional approach to tackling a substantial project.
The report as well as the user manual, that are supplementary to the
presentation are fluent, coherent and of an excellent academic standard. The
viva clearly outlined the research approach, its implementation and the key
findings and outcomes, and demonstrated a deep understanding.

86-100% Distinctive and Outstanding: In addition to the distinction


category, here the research work exhibits a high level of complexity and
professional quality, evidence of an excellent understanding of the academic

PROMO3 Assignment 2: Project demonstration
context of the work, a capacity for analytic thought, an ability to penetrate a
complex application domain and a high quality of self-appraisal. The standards
of proof and the quality of writing shown in the report should be equivalent to
that of professional publication. The viva provided valuable and thoughtful
insight into innovative research and its outcomes as well as the benefits to the
Apprentice’s organisation and/or sponsor.
