The tutorial quizzes provide weekly feedback on the main topics covered in the tutorials and related lectures. The first assignment allows students to demonstrate practical knowledge of systems analysis and modelling techniques. Feedback from this assignment will be relevant to the second assignment. The second assignment allows students to undertake a complete systems analysis of their own and feedback is provided in the form of a written document. Throughout the unit the online forum is used for discussion and feedback. Final Examination scripts are viewable upon request.
