Requirements for the coursework report

The coursework report should be no longer then 1500 words in length (approx six A4 pages).

The coursework report should normally be written in the third person and contain the following:

Title

Something that describes what your coursework is about.

Introduction

A brief description of the aims and objectives of the coursework. Possibly, explain why this particular coursework project was of interest and chosen.

Design

Briefly describe the key components. Include at least one diagram showing the flow of information between the components that make up the artefact. It is most important to highlight and justify your design choices.

Implementation and testing

Describe your experiences implementing the artefact. Here you should briefly, discuss your choice of development tools, highlight areas of development that were particularly tricky, and explain how you overcame problems. You should also outline how you tested the components that make up your artefact.

Summary

Summarise what you have undertaken in the coursework. In particular highlight the good and bad design and technology decisions that you made. Conclude by briefly discussing an alternative approach that could have potentially been taken with the benefit of hindsight.

References

Cite about four or five key sources of information (e.g. books, papers or URLs) that were most useful for the coursework.
