How to do well in the assignment and group project

When you have answered correctly all questions in both the basic and the final tests, you should start to work with your individual assignment. A link to this can be found in the "Student Lounge."

After you submit your assignment, you will automatically be grouped together with three other students in the class who have recently submitted their assignments. Within this group you will be able to review each other's assignments, and your group will have access to its own discussion forum.

Your group's task is to look at and discuss all the individual submissions by members of the group, and then agree on a common 'best' solution to each of the individual projects. Your group should then make a joint submission. This, together with an account of the contributions of each member of the group, will make up your group assignment.

The objective here is that you discuss your work with the other members of your group, and work together to decide what should be included in your final submission. It is this final submission that will be reviewed and commented on by your teacher. The teacher will communicate with the entire group, and if there is anything that you have missed, you will have the opportunity to make any necessary changes and re-submit your project.

To pass the group assignment you need to participate actively in the project, for example by asking questions and helping with work on the final submission. The individual submissions do not have to be perfect as it is within the group that the final solutions are worked out. If you get stuck, or are uncertain of something, you can always send questions to your teacher who will help you. Our goal is for everyone to pass all parts of the course - and that in doing so you should feel well prepared for your university studies.
