All sections are marked out of 100% which will then be translated to the mark
proportion for individual sections. Each section will be evaluated based on the grading
criteria provided at the end of the document. Additionally, the more you demonstrate
understanding from the module content, the higher your grade will be. Furthermore,
you'll receive extra credit for showcasing knowledge beyond the core materials taught.
Assignment Overview: Creating a multi-Page CV Project
In this assignment, you will utilize your knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to
create a multi-page Curriculum Vitae (CV) website. The objective is to not only
demonstrate your technical skills but also to construct a comprehensive and visually
appealing representation of your qualifications, skills, and experiences.
Assignment Tasks:
HTML:
•
•
Create multiple HTML files, each representing a section of your CV.
Include an index.html file as the main entry point and additional files such as
`experience.html`, `skills.html`, and any other relevant sections.
Ensure each HTML file contains the necessary structure and content for its
respective section.
CSS and JavaScript:
•
•
•
•
Apply consistent styling across all pages to maintain a cohesive visual identity.
Add styling to your pages using CSS. You should use a mix of external stylesheets,
styles defined in the page, and inline styles. You may use a CSS framework such
as bootstrap but will get more marks if you write your own styles.
Ensure your website is responsive and displays correctly on various devices and
screen sizes.
Create navigation buttons or links on each page that enable users to easily switch
between sections.
•
Ensure smooth transitions between pages to enhance user experience.
•
•
Using JavaScript and JQuery add some interactivity to your pages. You can choose
this functionality for yourself. For example, you can use JavaScript to change the
text of a button when it is clicked, show, or hide elements based on user input, or
update the background colour of a webpage.
Use appropriate formatting techniques to emphasize key information and
maintain readability.
Reflective account: Despite the final assessment being an individual task, collaborative work during the lab
sessions was actively encouraged. As such, write a 600-word account in which you:
a) reflect on your experience of working with other students,
b) discuss why collaborative working is so important in commercial Web development.
c) Reflect on the challenges you encountered, the skills you have developed, and how
you envision applying these skills in future projects.
Submission Guidelines:
Create a folder named `CV_Project` containing all your project files, including HTML files
(index.html`, `about.html`, `skills.html`, etc.), `styles.css`, and any JavaScript files.
Make sure every file in the folder is correctly linked and organized.
Zip the `CV_Project` folder and submit it through the university's online submission
platform (Black board) by the specified deadline.
Deadline: 4th July 2024 by 3PM
Important Notes:
Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. Ensure all content and code are original and
appropriately attributed if referencing external sources.
You are encouraged to explore additional resources and experiment with new
techniques beyond what was covered in class.
Seek assistance from your instructors if you encounter challenges or require clarification
on any aspect of the assignment.
In-module retrieval
Should students achieve less than 40% on the assessment, they will have the
opportunity to participate in In-Module Retrieval (IMR).
IMR refers to the fact that you will have a brief window of time (often 5-10 working
days) to resubmit an improved version of your initial assignment after receiving
feedback. There is a 40% maximum mark available.
You will need to look out for an email from your Module Leader (to your SHU email
address) shortly after marks are released on the Black Board. This will give you more
details and tell you what you need to do next.
If you decide not to participate in the In-Module Retrieval attempt and subsequently
do not pass the module, you will be referred which means you will have an
opportunity to resubmit an assignment during the reassessment period (usually July
for students on standard courses).
The time available to you to submit an IMR attempt will be less for those students who
submit after the original submission deadline date (with or without an approved
extension). Further information about IMR is available on Assessment 4 Students page > Marks
and Feedback > Re- assessment.
Who do I contact if I have a question?
Ask the module tutors. Dr Ra'ed Bani Abdelrahman (r.bani-abdelrahman@shu.ac.uk )
or the module leader Cyncia Matsika (c.matsika@shu.ac.uk ). If you still do not feel
your issue is resolved, then ask the course leader Christopher Bates
(c.d.bates@shu.ac.uk ) . If the issue is still not resolved, ask the Deputy Head of
Computing (Mark Jacobi, m.jacobi@shu.ac.uk ).
Please let your tutors know straight away if you think there has been a mistake in any
assessment procedures. University Grade Descriptor
