programming skills, quality assurance techniques, project management and
working in software teams, and professional practice and tools for software
engineering.

A six-point unit is deemed to
be equivalent to one quarter of a full-time workload, and so you will be expected
to commit 10-12 hours per week to the unit, averaged over the entire
semester. Careful attention to time management will be needed to ensure
that you are not overloaded when deadlines approach.
Assessment
The
assessment scheme for CITS1220 consists of a midterm test, a programming
project (supported by self assessed preliminary lab exercises), a group
project and a 2 hour examination.
Projects are submitted using the cssubmit
program. During the semester your
marks will be available for checking in the csmarks program.
