Design Methods - CT015-3.5-2

Learning Outcome:
1. Introduce the fundamental design concepts and design notations using UML.
2. Understand the fundamentals of Object Oriented Software Life Cycle and apply the
knowledge by creating full-fledged computer program.
3. Design, implement and document appropriately efficient algorithm using UML.
Marking Criteria
This individual assignment contributes 100% of the total mark for the module incourse.
Students are required to produce a solution in the form of UML models pertaining to selected
system and the criteria used to evaluate the assignment are as follows:
Item
Software Development Model with Justification
Analysis Model
The structure of the system or application that you are
modelling.
It consists of UML diagrams that describe the logical
implementation of the functional requirements that you
identified in the use case model.

Marks

Design Model
Builds on the analysis model by describing, in greater detail,
the structure of the system and how the system will be
implemented.

Design Methods - CT015-3.5-2

Performance Criteria:
A+ : 80%+

Work of distinguished quality, demonstrating authoritative grasp of

software modelling techniques, and the candidate has the ability to
effectively design solution model for the problem context and document
the solution with UML visualisation mechanism.

A : 75-79%

Demonstration of very high understanding of software modelling skills

and candidate was able to achieve good design methods for the solution
and document it in a good presentation manner using UML.

B+ : 70-74%

The designed solution model demonstrates good understanding of

software modelling techniques and candidate was able to develop good
design methods that are relevant to each specific modularised problem
and document it in a good presentation manner using UML.

B : 65%-69%

Demonstration of above average understanding of software modelling

and design methods. Candidate was able to show that she/he had the
ability to develop good solution that is relevant to the problem context.
However, the documentation may be lacking in an in-depth discussion of
the designed solution model.

C+: 60%-64%

Demonstration of above average understanding of software modelling

and design methods. Candidate was able to show that she/he had the
ability to develop acceptable level of solution that is relevant to the
problem context. However, the documentation may be lacking in an indepth discussion of the designed solution model.

C : 55%-59%

The designed solution demonstrated an understanding of software

modelling and design methods. There is structure in the documentation
and there are no serious omissions or irrelevancies. Detail level of
requirement was limited.
System design documentation is basic but does not document any indepth details of the solution design.

C- : 50%-54% Basic design for the solution. Model have essential diagrams only but
may be flawed by omissions and/or irrelevancies. System design
documentation is basic and may contain minor omissions/mistakes.
F+ : 40%-49%

Weak program design. Model have only a few essential diagrams only.
System design documentation is available but has very little resemblance
to actual implementation.

F : 0-39%

Very poor program design. Model have no diagrams and do not meet the
expected requirements of the problem scenario in the assignment.
System design documentation is not available.
