Introduction to Computing – B142L

Summary of coursework 1

Academic year 2008/9



The top coursework marks were (highest first):

1. Coursework 211
2. Coursework 139
3. Coursework 102
4. Coursework 157
5. Coursework 207

There were 126 coursework submissions and 7 non-submissions. 98 students participated in the peer review process and 44 students correctly selected a coursework that was in the top 5 list. The average was 40% and the median was 41%, which is caused by many of the source code submissions simply being copied from the practical worksheet with small changes to comply with the 30 animals minimum requirement. This coursework was the only assessment for this unit in semester 1, so the results are disappointing given the amount of time that was allocated.

Very few coursework submissions explained how the algorithm in the program could guarantee that a correct guess is always made using 20 or less questions. Additionally, a number of programs used the goto statement and recursive calls to the main() function. In the future, do not use those 2 methods because they are not good structured programming techniques.

The following are provisional marks subject to approval at the Unit Assessment Board. The coursework assignment is available online.
