Learning outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Students taking this course are expected to commit 130 hours to completing the work. For semester length offerings this will typically include 3 hours per week in class and at least 7 hours a week on average (excluding non-teaching weeks) on course reading, research, writing and assignment work. Work Integrated Learning Projects Major Project Assignment (Final report 51%) The project comprises the major component of the assessment for this course (60%). It consists, essentially, of you, the student, developing the basic analysis documentation for a proposed information system and you should regard it as offering both an educational experience and an opportunity for you to demonstrate that you have mastered the various techniques and tools covered in the course. You, the student, are responsible for choosing what will be the target system for your project. Typically, past students who have produced quality submissions have chosen topics related to hobbies, work or other interests for which they already possess the necessary information and knowledge or can readily gain access to it from expert others. It is therefore best – both from the point of view of learning opportunities as well as getting the best marks – to choose a project topic that is “real” (i.e. relates to a genuine problem, opportunity or need in the real world) rather than one that is entirely fictional (i.e. dreamed up wholly within your own head). Other Information This course was formerly known as the 7000-level course by the same name (INFS7007 Intelligent Business Analysis: Models, Processes and Techniques). Students who have INFS7007 in their Study Requirements are permitted to substitute with this course.
