1. Details of Assessment

This assessment is an individually assessed component. Please make sure you have a clear understanding of the grading principles for this component. If you are unsure about any aspect of this assessment component, please seek the advice of a member of the delivery team.

The task involves data analysis, and discussion of methods and results, using Python. For your report, you must submit a single PDF file that contains all answers, including any text needed to describe your results, the example code snippets used to answer each problem, any figures that were generated, and scans of any (clearly readable) work on paper that you want the graders to consider. It is important that you include enough detail that we know how you solved each problem.

You will need to ensure that your logbook is uploaded as a single PDF document. Note: Documentary evidence (including source code listing) should be provided as appropriate within your report. When submitting, name your PDF file using this format: StudentID_LastName_ FirstName (for example: 12345678_Zolgharni_Massoud). You must attend the lectures for further details, guidance and clarifications regarding these instructions.

Assignments are to be submitted to Turnitin. You will find a link to the Turnitin Assignments from the Assessments area of the Blackboard course menu. Turnitin generates an Originality Report, and you are encouraged to make use of this facility as a support tool to help you ensure the source material in your assignment is correctly referenced before final submission.

At the due date and time, no further submissions or changes are possible. Whatever is in the Turnitin inbox at this time will be regarded as your final submission.

Extensions will only be granted in exceptional circumstances. Extensions must be agreed before the deadline. Extensions will be for 10 days or less for the course work. Documentary evidence will be required. Submissions for course work up to one week late with no extension will be marked with a maximum mark of 40%.
