2.6 Quality of work is monitored against personal performance agreement and/or established organizational or professional standards

3 Test and document  structured program for
3.1 Testing procedures are developed to test developed program.
3.2 Problems and bugs in program are rectified to ensure specification the creation of the code is met.
3.3 Intermediate and final work reports are written in accordance with professional standards and
presented to appropriate person or persons.


Learning Outcomes


NA


Details of Learning Activities

Learning Activities Include the following:

Classroom tutorial activities: to consolidate and hence apply the concepts of programming
Practical exercises: to demonstrate the correct programming techniques
Work simulated activities: to understand and apply industrially used programming language
It is expected that students will require approximately 20% of course hours to be allocated for independent study.
