ITEC810 Sample Assignment Submissions

This page provides examples of submissions which received good marks.

1 Project Proposals

• Sidney Shek's Applying Social Networking to the Enterprise: Making an Intelligent Status Tracking Application: this proposal contains a good summary, which states the problem clearly, indicates what he intends to do, and why it's useful. The proposal has a very clear motivation section, a good discussion of limitations of existing tools, and a good use of a diagram to convey the development iterations. The level of detail in the task plan is very good, as would be expected at this point in an 809 project. Sidney scored 14.75 out of 15 for this proposal.

• Nishen Naidoo's Investigating Liberty Alliance and Shibboleth Integration: This is an example of a very well-written proposal. It demonstrates a good summary, which states the problem clearly, and indicates what the project intends to do. It contains excellent background and aims statements. On the downside, the tasks are missing explicitly-stated deliverables. This got a mark of 14.25 out of 15.

• Kamil Kos's Source-context Features for English-to-Czech Machine Translation is an example of a very detailed proposal that suggests the author has carefully thought through what is involved in his project. Kamil scored 12.5 out of 15.

• Daniel Aegerter's Trustworthy Sensor Networks was rated as Proficient in every assessment dimension: it's a very good and very well presented piece of work. I'd like to have seen explicitly-stated deliverables in the task plan, but the level of detail gives the reader the a strong impression that Daniel has engaged well with this project. He scored 11.25 out of 15.

• Alexey Novoselov's Wearable Sensor Analysis for Gesture Recognition has some weaknesses in formatting and in writing, but the exceptional detail in the task plan meant that he scored 11.5 out of 15.

2 Ethics Assignments

Here are two high-scoring ethics assignments. Note that the scores achieved have nothing to do with the particular ethical stance that the author has taken, but are based on the extent to which the specification for the assignment was met, and the quality of the argumentation provided.
