ORAL PRESENTATION

1.6 Software
You are required to use appropriate computer software packages to produce output for
many of the above techniques. This approach should assist you with the inevitable changes
that you (or another analyst, in a real life system) will need to make, and also gives a better
quality and hence more readable result. Hand-drawn diagrams are not suitable for this
project.

  1. Marking Criteria
    You should refer to the rubric available on the website for marking criteria and each section should
    be of sufficient length to adequately describe that section.

  1. Submission Format
    You will be required to check this assignment through Turnitin on MySCU. Please leave adequate
    time to review your assignment for originality, through the Turnitin process. Your Final Report
    assignment submission should be in the form of ONE Microsoft Word document, including the
    Turnitin statement.
    You should include your diagrams in this Word document, as clear graphics. Note: any graphics that
    cannot be clearly seen will NOT be marked.
    Your Word document should be named as: Lastname_FirstIinitial_FinalReport.doc (or docx).
    For example, my submission would be named Cooper_G_FinalReport.doc or
    Cooper_G_FinalReport.docx.
  2. More information
    If you need more information about completing this assignment, then you should contact your
    local lecturer or tutor.
  3. Original work
    Your assignment must be your original work. Assignments form a major part of course work.
    Exchange of ideas with other people can be considered educationally valuable; however, excessive
    collaboration will be regarded as plagiarism, which is a University offence. For example, the
    copying of significant parts of a document, even if subsequently modified, is plagiarism. Such
    academic dishonesty will be penalised in accordance with the University’s rules and regulations.
    You must not copy material from books, magazines, internet sources or other students’
    assignments. Of course, you may include direct quotes from any source, but these must be small
    (e.g. one sentence or one paragraph) and must be properly referenced, using the Harvard
    Referencing Style. The value and relevance of including materials from another source must be
    fully explained. If plagiarism is found in your assignment, you may receive zero marks for this
    assignment.
    The assessment process may require some students to attend an interview in order to explain
    aspects of their assignment.
  4. Problems to avoid
     Start early to allow sufficient time for thorough analysis, report writing and production of
    many analysis diagrams.
     Do not copy materials from any source, unless referenced. Explain the value and
    significance of any external materials.
  5. Identification
    To clearly identify your work, ensure the following information appears in the footer of your report:
    Student ID, Unit code (ISY00243), Session and year (Session 3, 2018)

  1. Retain duplicate copy
    You are strongly advised to retain a copy of original work, and progressive versions of your work
    during the session. In the event of any uncertainty regarding the submission of assessment items,
    you may be requested to reproduce a final copy and/or any previous versions of your work.
  2. Penalty for late submission
    A penalty of 5% per calendar day will be applied to all late assignments.
    An extension of time will only be considered (not necessarily approved) when a written request is
    submitted with appropriate supporting documentation and in accordance with University
    guidelines.
  3. Marks and Feedback
    Marks and feedback comments will be returned through your MySCU site
