Note that this assignment can be
completed at any time during the course, and can be handed in when completed.
This assignment applies only to
students enrolled in INFS7100, not to students enrolled in INFS3101.
Purpose: bring additional material into the course
This assignment will be done in groups of up to 3,
with a single report prepared per group. All members of a group will receive
the same mark unless a strong case is made to the contrary.
Each group will prepare a 200 word report containing commentary of material
relevant to the course NOT in textbook. Examples of optional material include:
- Optional readings
- Articles in the press
- Trends drawn from several articles
- Perspectives from other languages, cultures or countries
- Your own experience.
- Any other material relevant to the course -readings, CD-ROMs,
web sites.
The commentary will show how the material contributes to
the course, perhaps as
- An example of a non-trivial concept
- A counterexample or wider context showing deficiencies in some
concepts
- Possible future development of examples used in the course
- Historical background to examples used in the course
- Proposed new concept
- Something novel or interesting (including how it is relevant)
The 200 word report will:
·
Briefly summarize the item.
·
Say what aspect of the course the item
is relevant to
·
Plausibly argue how it is relevant
The mark for this assignment will be combined with the mark
for Assignment 1 on a per-student basis according to the formula
Overall assignment mark = (Mark
for assignment 1 + Mark for assignment 2) x (40/45)
The combined assignment will count 40% of the marks for the
course.
