Assessment
Assessment of Web Development will be by two submissions - an individual term paper (approx. 10 pages) and a group-based project (a practical work related to a set of web development tasks). The group must submit a report (between 5-10 pages) describing their work and documenting the outcomes. The topic of the project must be approved by the tutors.
The term paper accounts for 60% of the grade, while the remaining 40% comes from the group-based project. The student must pass both parts to pass the course.
Students who have legitimate absence from the exam or have failed the regular examination are entitled to sit a new examination in the part(s) they have failed. If the project work fail, the whole group need to sit the new examination.

Grading scale

Examiners
The written examination is assessed by an internal and an external examiner. The external examiner grades a random sample consisting of approx. 25 per cent of the written exams. The grades given for this sample provide a basis for internal examiners who will be grading the other exams.
