This module is a core part of the 2nd year of the MSc programme
Software Engineering and Ambient Intelligence
(Internal Moodle Link,
External TSP Link).
The material will be uploaded dynamically: the teaching approach is based on PBL and much of the
learning will be through interaction/group work during the assigned lecturing time. (Please check the website
for updates before every lecture.)
The project code and documentation should be submitted (electronically) by Friday 19th
December.
Please also note that you are required to use tools for documentation and unit testing.
We recommend
CUnit
and Doxygen,
but you are free to use others if you think they are more suitable.
You are encouraged to re-use code that you believe will help you to implement
your solution. All re-used code must be documented as such, and you are advised to
comprehensively test such code against your specific requirements.
Please explicitly specify whether code has been fork-reused or reference-reused
(see
http://sharednow.blogspot.com/2011/05/its-not-just-reuse.html).
Please note that plagiarism will be penalised
(see
Software Reuse and Plagiarism: A code of practice).
The exam is scheduled for Wednesday 15th January at 14hr (3 hours).
Sessions
Sessions are a mix of problem-based learning, group project work,
directed practicals, interactive lectures and traditional lectures. There is no preset format - the lecturer
organises the style and content of each session depending on the needs of the class.
