Overview of Assessment
This is a progressive assessment, the underpinning knowledge will be assessed on the completion of each course, but the competency itself will not be signed off until related competency is completed and the student is deemed competent
The students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
• Progressive Written assessments
• Assignments
• Work Simulation Projects
Assessment Tasks
The assessment for this course is based on the following:
Assignment 1: Background of DSP- 5%
Assignment 2: Fundamentals of DSP-10%
Assignment 3: DSP Theory and Problems using Matlab-10%
Major Assignment: Matlab based Assignment on FIR and IIR Filters-15%
One Theory Exam at the end of semester: 60%
