| Assessment Description: |
* indicates an assessment tasks which must be repeated if a student misses it due to special considerations. The penalty for lateness for assignments is 5% per day. Assignment 1: covers functional programming Quiz: covers introduction, functional programming, logic-oriented programming Assignment 2: implements a language Assignment 3: covers functional programming Final Exam: Students must obtain 40% in the final exam to pass the unit, regardless of the sum of the individual marks. There may be statistically defensible moderation when combining the marks from each component to ensure consistency of marking between markers, and alignment of final grades with unit outcomes. |

| Assessment Feedback: | Each assessment is marked by tutors and the unit coordinator. Feedback is given in the form of comments on individual assessments and in the marks. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
