CG4 |
This unit requires the analysis, design, implementation, testing and evaluation of a computer solution to a substantial problem of a student’s own choice. This problem should be a real (not hypothetical) one and the solution should be documented. This unit again requires the production of original code (programming), either as a self-contained program or in conjunction with an application package. Again, the documentation must be word processed. |
