Assessment of the Programming Strand of the COMP10082 Module The assessment of the programming strand of the module will be through a programming project. This will involve the design of the

project as well as the coding of it. The project is intended to demonstrate the achievement of the learning outcomes for the programming strand. These involve learning how to program and doing so in the context of a suitable development environment. Code correctly produced will involve planning as well as execution. Coding Practices As well as the syntax of programming it is desire that you learn good programming practices. These need to be demonstrated in your project. Highlighted through the programming teaching have been: • Use of commenting to indicate the purpose of a section of code. The commenting should be sufficient for a developer other than the initial developer to be able to understand what a function does for example and what the parameters sent to it must be and what any return values are for. • Use of variable names that have meaning and are of a consistent format. Reuse of code through functions to reduce code complexity where possible. DL---:
