Description of Module Assessment

1: Computer Task weighted 100%
Design and development of a secure distributed multi-tier web application using an agile development approach.
Students will be required to design, develop and evaluate a secure distributed multi-tier web application using an agile development approach. A scenario will be supplied and students will be required to evaluate appropriate design and development techniques in order to then implement an appropriate solution. Each student will submit the code and documentation for a distributed multi-tier web application (equivalent to a 3000 word report) together with a demonstration of the final product where they discuss the key design and development issues that they have faced and the results of a suitable evaluation e.g. via a "recorded screencast" or "live demo" (equivalent to a 2000 word report)

Please note that for the 2022/23 Academic Year programmes may be adapted to operate in accordance with a flexible, digital approach. This means that there may be some changes made to how modules are delivered and assessed. The latest information will be provided to you by your School in module handbooks. We endeavour to give you as much notice as possible of any changes and details about the circumstance in which changes are made to programmes can be found in the Student Agreement, available at: https://www.keele.ac.uk/student-terms-and-conditions/
