Submission Date: To be submitted in week 11 Assessment Task: The assessment is about a design of a system using OOP. Total Mark: 20 Marks Weighting: 20% Students are advised that submission of an Assessment Task past the due date without a formally signed approved Assignment Extension Form (Kent Website MyKent Student Link> FORM – Assignment Extension Application Form – Student Login Required) or previously approved application for other extenuating circumstances impacting course of study, incurs a 5% penalty per calendar day, calculated by deduction from the total mark. For example. An Assessment Task marked out of 40 will incur a 2 mark penalty for each calendar day.

The report should follow the following structure using the actual case study that will be available on Moodle (in assessment section) by week 8. 1. Title Page 2. Executive Summary 3. Introduction 4. Background 5. Case Study and the Design 5.1 Variables, Ranges and Keys 5.2 Operations and the Justification 5.3 Algorithms and the Justification 5.4 Modifications 6. Conclusion 7. References ASSESSMENT SUBMISSION: The assignment must be submitted online in Moodle. All materials MUST be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format. Other formats (e.g., pdf or MAC file) may not be readable by markers. Please be aware that any assessments submitted in other formats will be considered LATE and will lose marks until it is presented in MS Word. No paper based or hardcopy submission will be accepted. MARKING GUIDE (RUBRIC): Marking Criteria Lecturer Expectation Marks Comments Choice of variables, keys and ranges The understanding of various data types and importance of choosing the right variables and ranges 2 Justification of variables, keys and ranges choice 2 Specification of operations Identifying operations that are required by the system to function properly. The choice of appropriate algorithm so that data can be efficiently searched and sorted. 3 Choice of algorithms for every operation 4 Justification of algorithms 3 Any modifications required How making systems scalable needs changes in the choice of variables and algorithms so that efficiency is not compromised 3 Report structure and references Report is in correct format with no grammatical errors. Referencing styles and in-text citations are correct. 3 Total 20 GENERAL NOTES FOR ASSESSMENT TASKS Kent Institute Australia Pty. Ltd. Assessment Brief ABN 49 003 577 302 CRICOS Code: 00161E RTO Code: 90458 Version 2: 11th October, 2019 Page 3 of 3 TEQSA Provider Number: PRV12051 Content for Assessment Task papers should incorporate a formal introduction, main points and conclusion. Appropriate academic writing and referencing are inevitable academic skills that you must develop and demonstrate in work being presented for assessment. The content of high quality work presented by a student must be fully referenced within-text citations and a Reference List at the end. Kent strongly recommends you refer to the Academic Learning Support Workshop materials available on the Kent Learning Management System (Moodle). For details please click the link http://moodle.kent.edu.au/kentmoodle/mod/folder/view.php?id=3606 and download the file titled “Harvard Referencing Workbook”. This Moodle Site is the location for Workbooks and information that are presented to Kent Students in the ALS Workshops conducted at the beginning of each Trimester. Kent recommends a minimum of FIVE (5) references in work being presented for assessment. Unless otherwise specifically instructed by your Lecturer or as detailed in the Unit Outline for the specific Assessment Task, any paper with less than five (5) references may be deemed not meeting a satisfactory standard and possibly be failed. Content in Assessment tasks that includes sources that are not properly referenced according to the “Harvard Referencing Workbook” will be penalised. Marks will be deducted for failure to adhere to the word count if this is specifically stated for the Assessment Task in the Unit Outline. As a general rule there is an allowable discretionary variance to the word count in that it is generally accepted that a student may go over or under by 10% than the stated length. GENERAL NOTES FOR REFERENCING References are assessed for their quality. Students should draw on quality academic sources, such as
