Assessment of Web Development will be by two submissions - an individual reflection note (approx. 5 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. Font: Arial / Calibri. Size: 12 point. Line spacing: 1.5.

The reflection note and the group report each account for 50% of the grade. The student must pass both parts to pass the course.

Students awarded a fail grade are given one opportunity to submit an improved version for assessment. If the project work fail, the whole group need to sit the new examination.
