Assessment Tasks
This competency is taught in conjunction with "UEENEEH015B: Develop and test code for microcontroller devices- ISYS5665C". Therefore teaching schedule and assessment includes both competencies.
Assessment task 1 : 20%
Assessment task 1 will be a set of tutorial and practical exercises. All these exercises need to be completed by week 9. These tutorial/practical exercises will be available on learning hub and student’s local drive.
Assessment task 2: 40%
A hardware interfacing project:- Students will be required to construct, test and debug the project hardware and software and will be required to produce a project report. The project details will be provided on the learning hub and student’s local drive.
Assessment task 3 : 40%
A Written Examination on All the learning aspects of these competencies. The exam will be based on what students have learned in their tutorial/practical exercises and their student project.
