Web programming

Units WEB1P and WEB2P

Coursework for WEB2P

Introduction

All students must do a web application development project during WEB2P.

Students are expected to draw on material taught (and material otherwise learned) during all the units on their course in tackling this problem. This assessment thus integrates many of the elements covered during the course.

The coursework is individual, but students are expected to work with other members of the group to ensure that their solutions interoperate.

Problem

The School of Computing uses an online system for the management of student projects (both final-year undergraduate and masters). This is called SUMS (Student and Unit Management System).

The aim of this coursework is for student to contribute to the development of this system. Each student will agree to implement some discrete functionality and, in addition, contribute to the maintenance of the existing codebase.

Deliverables

Deadline	Date	Deliverable(s)	Submission arrangements	Marks
Week 4 practical	Monday 27th February	First draft of requirements specification (see example of format)	Bring printed copy to practical session	5%
Week 6 practical	Monday 12th March	First draft of user interaction design (organisation structure diagrams and/or storyboards and/or architecture maps as covered in WDIEP)	Bring printed copy to practical session	5%
Week 9 practical	Monday 26th March	Alpha version of the web application (demonstrating some subset of the functionality)	Jim will download it from your Kenai project. Demonstrate it at practical session Ensure your web application is in the specified format	10%
End of week 12	Friday 4th May	Demonstrable web application Completed documentation Requirements specification User interaction design specification Source code listings and Javadocs	Jim will download it from your Kenai project. Allow all other students on the unit auditor rights on your Kenai project so that they can also view it. Bring a working electronic copy of your web application to the SWS Ensure your web application is in the specified format	40%
End of week 12	Friday 4th May	Report on coursework	Submit report to CAM Admin Office	40%

Notes on deliverables

There is no need to submit the web application provided Jim Briggs has access to your Kenai repository. Submission will consist of whatever is in the repository at the time of the deadline.
Marking schemes
Mark form for web application
Your web application must be in the specified format
All written documentation must be submitted in one of the following formats: Microsoft Word, HTML or (as a last resort) PDF or plain text

Resources

Students are encouraged to use whatever resources and facilities are available to them. All material (including programming code) that is copied from elsewhere must be identified and its source cited. The member of staff who set this assessment may be consulted for guidance on your approach, and to a limited extent with technical problems that arise.
